Granular and small-ice makers are chosen by texture and application rather than by a solid beverage-cube shape. ITV IQ, IQN and IQF produce different ice formats and are not technically interchangeable.
Evaluate ice form and moisture, kg/24 h output at stated ambient and inlet-water temperatures, internal versus external storage, cooling system, space, drainage, water treatment and cleaning. Select reserve capacity for the busiest periods independently from daily production.
Diamond, Granular, Nugget, Chip and Flake are not interchangeable names. High-capacity SCALA flake systems require a separate installation assessment. Visit the main ice-maker guide for a comparison of ice types and applications, and the storage-bin category for compatible external storage.
