Neglecting any step along the way can have dire consequences for your ice machine and even your foodservice operation\u2019s bottom line. Luckily, keeping your machine in peak form only takes a bit of planning, some well-trained employees, and consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a doubt, your efforts will benefit your foodservice operation greatly. With that in mind, <strong>here are the top six benefits<\/strong> you can expect from properly sanitizing and maintaining your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/restaurant-supplies-equipment\/ice-machines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">commercial ice machine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Clean Ice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Poorly maintained ice machines easily become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.food-safety.com\/articles\/4343-the-sanitation-of-ice-making-equipment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">breeding grounds for bacteria and mold<\/a>. Consuming contaminated ice not only adversely affects the flavor of your beverages, but they also cause illness. People with weakened immune systems, the elderly, pregnant women, and young children are especially susceptible to serious health consequences from consuming beverages with contaminated ice. <strong>A regular cleaning schedule<\/strong> to ward off bacteria and mold will keep your beverages refreshing and your customers healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Robust Ice Production<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When ice machines aren\u2019t properly cleaned or maintained, <strong>accumulation of scale or other debris<\/strong> on internal parts occurs. This can have detrimental effects on important components like the evaporator. This accumulation of unwanted debris will cause ice machines to work less efficiently, reducing their production capacity when you need it most. Maintaining your commercial ice machine will allow it to perform the job it was designed for, with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Mechanical Wellness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scheduling <strong>regular \u201ccheckups\u201d for your ice machine<\/strong> helps to mitigate mechanical problems, such as clogged water lines, malfunctioning valves, or worn-out parts before they happen. If left unnoticed, these issues will wear at your ice machine, or even eventually cause it to break down. Keep your machine running ship shape with regular cleaning, maintenance, and inspections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Lower Energy Consumption<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Poorly maintained ice machines consume more energy than a well-maintained machine, resulting in higher energy bills. Accumulation of scale or other debris cause the machine to work harder to produce ice, resulting in increased energy consumption. Regular cleanings and inspections will help you <strong>save on energy bills<\/strong> in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. A Higher ROI on Your Investment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Neglecting to sanitize and maintain your ice machine will shorten its lifespan. Accumulation of scale, corrosion, or other damage can cause the machine to break down or require expensive repairs, reducing its overall ROI. Regular maintenance goes a long way in <strong>protecting your investment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Avoid Health Code Violations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Health inspectors know where to look for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodservicenews.net\/a-dirty-little-secret-explained-don-t-let-your-ice-machine-cause-a-failed-health\/article_495bc8c2-a2a9-11eb-9c79-ff567ec9fb83.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mold, debris, and bacteria hiding in plain sight<\/a>. If written up for violations, your business may be subject to fines or legal action may be taken against your restaurant. Lastly, poor health inspection scores will degrade your standing within your community and adversely affect your business\u2019s reputation. <strong>Cleaning all the hard-to-reach parts<\/strong> of your commercial ice machine will result in a great reputation and peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping Your Cool With Commercial Ice Machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/commercial-ice-machines-2.jpg\" alt=\"Guests cheer to a happy, ice-filled summer day.\" class=\"wp-image-16628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/commercial-ice-machines-2.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/commercial-ice-machines-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular commercial ice machine cleaning and maintenance in your commercial kitchen protects the health and safety of your customers and employees, as well as the financial bottom line of your business.
