Ice Machine Size Guide for Small Businesses
Choose an ice machine by daily output, storage, water quality, placement and peak business demand.

Calculate daily demand
Estimate the busiest day, not the average quiet day. Restaurants, salons, offices and shops should leave capacity for peak periods.
Storage and cycle time
A machine can produce ice quickly, but storage matters when customers or staff need ice at the same time.
Water and ventilation
Clean feed water, good drainage and airflow around the machine help protect ice quality and machine performance.
