Classeq Ice-O-Matic storage bins can cut down on running costs without compromising the quality of the ice
Banquet caterers need a ready stock of ice when they are preparing for a big event. However, storing ice in peak condition can be a problem. Classeq’s Ice-O-Matic storage bins are designed to maintain the quality of the ice prior to serving.
Caterers can reduce running costs and increase energy efficiency by combining a smaller Ice-O-Matic modular ice-machine with a larger storage unit, preparing the ice in advance and storing it in the bin until it is needed.
Classeq’s Ice-O-Matic ice makers produce ice cubes perfect for pepping up non-alcoholic cocktails
Classeq's Ice-O-Matic ICEU45 ice maker
Look up recipes for non-alcoholic cocktails and what is the common ingredient? Plenty of good quality ice – it not only cools down the drink and adds class to the glass, but it brings out the subtle flavours turning a simple fruit juice mix into a fun, zesty cocktail.
Because ice plays such an important part in a non-alcoholic cocktail it is essential to use crystal clear, pure ice cubes that enhance the flavour but do not introduce unwanted odours and tastes into the drink. Classeq’s Ice-O-Matic ICEU45 ice machine produces individual thimble-shaped cubes of long-lasting, pure, clean ice that are ideal for non-alcoholic cocktails. (more…)
Classeq offers advice on choosing ice that’s fit for purpose
Ice machines produce ice in a variety of shapes and sizes, but many users don’t appreciate that not all ice is suitable for the same application. What’s great for cocktails isn’t necessarily the best for blended drinks. Would-be purchasers of ice machines need to be clear what they will be using the ice for, so they make the correct choice of ice and get the right machine for the job. (more…)
Classeq’s service package for Ice-O-Matic ice makers increases machine efficiency
Classeq’s service package for Ice-O-Matic ice makers increases machine efficiency
Now that fresh ice has become a prerequisite for the perfect cocktail, drinks on the rocks, slushies and other soft drinks, most busy bars are looking into purchasing an ice machine, if they do not already own one. But not everyone realises the importance of keeping the ice machine regularly cleaned both from a health and an energy efficiency point of view.
The regular cleaning and servicing of an icemaker will prolong its life and make sure it is operating at peak efficiency. Some areas in the UK suffer from hard water with a high mineral content which causes a build up of limescale within the icemaker. This can seriously decrease the speed of ice production and increase energy consumption. (more…)

Barbeque special: Classeq’s ICEF155 supplies a constant supply of flake ice for displays and drinks
