Accessories
Ice machine accessories cover the supporting kit that keeps a commercial ice maker working day to day — ice scoops and drop-in crushed-ice bins and wells for bar and buffet service, with supporting consumables such as water filters and sanitisers also belonging in this group — used across pubs, cafés, hotels and restaurants to keep ice service hygienic and efficient. Compatibility with the specific machine brand and model matters most for supporting parts, and a dedicated ice scoop (never a glass) should always be used to prevent contamination and machine damage.
Key specifications
The drop-in crushed-ice wells span standard gastronorm sizes from 1/1 to 5/1, in AISI 304 stainless steel with counter-service drains, including inclined versions with the drain on the operating side. Scoops run from 170ml to 1.9-litre capacities in polycarbonate and stainless steel.
Accessories — FAQs
Why do ice machines need a water filter?
A water filter reduces scale, sediment and chlorine taste in the ice, protecting the machine’s internal components from limescale build-up and helping ice stay clear and food-safe, especially in hard water areas.
How often should an ice machine be professionally cleaned?
Most manufacturers recommend a full descale and sanitise every 3-6 months, though busy sites in hard water areas may need this more frequently to maintain output and ice clarity.
