Frequently Asked Questions

How much ice production per day do I need from ice machines for a busy restaurant?

Estimate 1 to 1.5 lbs of ice per customer per day. A restaurant serving 200 guests needs ice machines producing at least 200 to 300 lbs daily to handle beverages, displays, and food prep.

Should I choose modular or self-contained ice machines for my operation?

Modular ice machines produce higher volumes but require a separate ice storage bin. Self-contained ice machines include a built-in bin and suit smaller spaces where simplicity matters.

What types of ice can ice machines produce?

Different ice machines produce full cubes, half cubes, nugget ice, flake ice, and gourmet ice. Choose the ice type based on your primary use, whether that is cocktails, cold displays, or blended beverages.

Which ice machines brands does Zanduco carry for the Canadian market?

Omcan, ITV, Hoshizaki, and Manitowoc are all available. Each brand offers ice machines with different production capacities and ice types.

Can ice machines be placed in tight spaces like under a counter?

Yes. Undercounter ice machines are designed for compact layouts and produce moderate daily volumes. They are popular in bars, cafes, and small restaurants where floor space is limited.

Do ice machines require a floor drain or water line?

Ice machines need both a water supply and a drain for condensate and melt water. Confirm plumbing access at the installation site before purchasing ice machines.

Are air-cooled or water-cooled ice machines better for Canadian kitchens?

Air-cooled ice machines are the most common and cost-effective choice. Water-cooled models suit locations with poor ventilation but use more water. Most Canadian kitchens do well with air-cooled ice machines.
