Frequently Asked Questions

What is commercial ice-making equipment?

Commercial ice-making equipment includes machines designed to produce ice for businesses, along with equipment such as storage bins used to store the ice until it is needed.

What is the difference between an ice machine and a storage bin?

An ice machine produces the ice, while a storage bin provides a dedicated space to hold the finished ice ready for use. Depending on the model, an ice machine may have an integrated storage area or can be paired with a separate storage bin.

Do I need an ice storage bin?

Not necessarily. Some commercial ice machines have an integrated storage bin, allowing the machine to produce and store ice within the same unit. Larger or higher-capacity ice machines may require a separate ice storage bin, which provides additional storage capacity for businesses with higher ice demands.

The right setup will depend on the type of ice machine, its production capacity, your available space and how much ice your business typically uses. If you're unsure which combination is right for you, our team can help you choose the appropriate Ice Machine and Storage Bin for your requirements.

What businesses need commercial ice-making equipment?

Commercial ice-making equipment is commonly used by bars, pubs, restaurants, hotels, cafés, catering companies, nightclubs and event venues.

How do I choose the right ice-making equipment?

Consider how much ice your business uses, the available space, whether you need additional storage and how the equipment will fit into your existing setup. If you're unsure, the DS Refrigeration team can help you identify suitable options.
