Catering Ice Machine FAQ

What type of ice is best for catering and hospitality?

Cube ice and tube ice are the most popular choices for catering: cube ice is ideal for cocktails and soft drinks, while tube ice cools beverages faster thanks to its hollow design and larger contact area. For premium cocktails and whisky, ball ice and clear ice blocks offer an elegant presentation.

What is the difference between cube ice and tube ice?

Cube ice is solid and slow-melting, making it perfect for spirits, whisky and premium cocktails. Tube ice has a hollow cylindrical shape that increases the contact area with liquids, cooling drinks faster — ideal for high-volume beverage service in restaurants, bars and events.

Can Koller ice machines produce edible ice?

Yes. Koller clear ice block machines and ice cube machines are designed to produce hygienic, food-grade ice that meets edible standards. The ice is transparent, clean and suitable for direct contact with beverages and food.

How to choose the right ice machine for a restaurant or bar?

Consider your daily ice consumption, the types of drinks you serve, and available space. Small bars may need a compact ice cube machine (100–300 kg/day), while large restaurants or event venues may require a tube ice machine (1–5 tons/day) for high-volume cooling.

What ice types are used in hotels and events?

Hotels typically use cube ice for guest room mini-bars and event beverages, tube ice for banquet cooling, ball ice for premium cocktail service, and clear ice blocks for decorative displays and high-end presentations.

Does Koller provide ice machines for small catering businesses?

Yes. Koller offers machines ranging from 100 kg/day for small bars and cafes to multi-ton systems for large event venues and hotel chains. All models can be customized to match your space and output requirements.

What warranty do Koller machines carry?

All machines carry a 1-year warranty covering free repairment and components. Beyond the warranty period, the same service is still provided at cost.
