How to choose an ice maker?

When choosing between integrated and split ice makers, you need to consider the following factors:

1. Space Requirements:

   – Integrated ice makers have a compact structure, suitable for spaces with limited room, such as small bars or home use.

   – Split ice makers require more installation space and are suitable for large venues, such as supermarkets or large hotels.

2. Production and Ice Storage Capacity:

   – Integrated ice makers have a limited production capacity, with a 24-hour rated output generally between 25 kg and 140 kg, and the ice storage bucket capacity is also limited.

   – Split ice makers have a larger production capacity, with a 24-hour rated output ranging from 150 kg to 900 kg, and the ice storage bucket capacity can be chosen according to usage, from 100 kg to 500 kg.

3. Installation and Operational Convenience:

   – Integrated ice makers are simple to install and operate, just plug in and connect to water.

   – Split ice makers may require more complex installation and maintenance, and may need additional power lines.

4. Energy Consumption:

   – Integrated ice makers have relatively low energy consumption, suitable for small venues.

   – Split ice makers have higher energy consumption and may require preparation for additional power lines.

5. Flexibility:

   – The ice buckets of split ice makers can be replaced to adapt to different ice usage requirements.

6. Cost:

   – Integrated ice makers have a lower initial investment, suitable for situations with a limited budget.

   – Split ice makers have higher initial investment and operating costs, but from the perspective of meeting demand, they may be a more cost-effective choice in the long run, especially for businesses that need to supply a large amount of ice continuously.

In summary, if your requirement is for a large amount of continuous ice making, and you have enough space and budget, a split ice maker may be more suitable. If space is limited and ice making demand is not particularly high, an integrated ice maker is more convenient and economical.
