The undercounter ice machines collection covers 156 underbench ice makers, self-contained ice machines and matching storage bins for bars, cafes, restaurants, offices and small commercial kitchens. Undercounter models make and store ice in one cabinet that fits below a standard bench, so no separate bin is needed. Brema, Scotsman and Skope are among the brands in the range.
Start with daily ice production, quoted per 24 hours, and set it against peak demand rather than an average day. Then check the cabinet height and width against the bench opening, because an underbench machine has to fit the gap and still leave room for air to move around the condenser. Ice format is the third decision, since cube ice suits spirits and mixed drinks while smaller ice packs better into cups. Air-cooled and water-cooled versions differ in where heat goes.
