Investing in a commercial ice maker is essential for operations that demand a continuous, high-volume supply of ice—from seafood and meat processing plants to produce cooling, industrial bakeries, and large retail or convenience facilities. For businesses that rely on dependable ice production, an Arctic-Temp® industrial ice machine by Holiday Ice provides unmatched performance and long-term reliability.
Why Choose a Commercial Ice Maker from Holiday Ice?
While many “commercial ice makers” are built for hospitality, small restaurants, or hotel use, Arctic-Temp® machines are engineered for industrial-grade production.

Why businesses choose Arctic-Temp®:

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Commercial Ice Maker
Even a heavy-duty industrial machine performs best with proactive care. Here’s how to keep your Arctic-Temp® system running efficiently:
Regular Maintenance Is Essential
Clean the Machine Consistently
Scale, sediment, or mineral buildup can reduce performance. Clean the machine monthly using approved cleaners.
Replace Water Filters
A clean filter ensures steady water flow and maintains ice quality.
Check the Water Supply
Make sure the supply line is unobstructed to prevent reduced ice output.
Monitor Machine Performance
Watch for Changes
Daily checks help catch unusual sounds, slower production, or inconsistent ice quality before they become costly repairs.
Observe Ice Quality
Arctic-Temp® produces hard-cracked ice. If ice becomes soft or inconsistent, it may signal a maintenance need.
Efficient Usage Tips
Placement Matters
Install the machine in a ventilated space with adequate airflow to maintain proper condensing temperatures.
Stable Environment
Keep surrounding areas at a stable temperature for the best ice production efficiency.
