Installation, Water Filtration & Support

Most commercial ice makers require a cold-water connection, drainage for meltwater, good ventilation and the right power supply. Some larger ice machines may require extra clearance, a larger storage bin or a drain pump depending on the site. We recommend checking the product specifications carefully before ordering, especially if the machine is going under a bench or into a tight service area.

A water filter is also highly recommended for most commercial ice machines. It can help improve ice clarity, taste and consistency while reducing scale build-up inside the unit. This is especially important for businesses using ice in drinks, food display or customer-facing service.

Delivery, Finance & Support

Buying a commercial ice maker is not just about choosing the cheapest machine. It needs to suit your daily ice demand, available space, water connection, drainage setup and service requirements. At Bens Hospitality Equipment, we can help with product advice, stock availability, delivery options, equipment finance and manufacturer warranty support.

Whether you are buying one under bench ice maker or fitting out a full venue with commercial refrigeration, freezers and ice machines, our team is here to support you before and after you buy.

How to Choose the Right Ice Machine

Before buying a commercial ice machine, consider how much ice your business needs each day, what type of ice suits your menu, where the unit will be installed and whether you have access to water, drainage and ventilation. A small under bench ice maker may be suitable for cafés and smaller bars, while larger venues may need a modular ice machine with a separate storage bin.

Ice type also matters. Cube ice and gourmet ice are popular for drinks because they look good and melt slowly. Nugget ice is soft and chewable, making it useful for iced coffee, smoothies, cocktails and healthcare settings. Flake ice is ideal for seafood displays, supermarkets, butcher shops, salad bars and food presentation because it moulds around products and chills quickly. Read our helpful Ice Maker Buying Guide for tips on choosing the right size, shape and capacity for your business.
