All of our industrial ice machines here at Ice Systems are available for rental. We offer a wide range of hire options, and all ice machines come with full installation and support as standard, along with maintenance costs and breakdown cover included throughout the rental period.
Hiring an industrial flake or chip ice machine can be a cost-effective way to meet short-term or seasonal increases in demand. It is particularly popular within industries such as bakeries, vegetable harvesting, food processing, fisheries and other sectors where production requirements fluctuate throughout the year.
Rental is also an excellent solution if you need to quickly increase ice production capacity or replace a machine that has unexpectedly failed. It also allows businesses to evaluate the benefits of on-site ice production before committing to a long-term investment.
While purchasing an industrial ice machine can offer the lowest long-term cost for large scale businesses with year-round demand, rental can provide significant savings in the short term by eliminating upfront capital expenditure.
A rental agreement spreads costs over a fixed period and includes maintenance and breakdown cover, making budgeting straightforward. Purchasing typically requires a larger initial investment but can become more economical over several years of continuous operation.
Many industries experience significant fluctuations in ice consumption throughout the year. Agricultural businesses may require large volumes of ice during harvesting periods, while food processors, fisheries and other production facilities often see peaks linked to seasonal demand or short-term contracts.
For bakeries, demand often increases during warmer months when ice may be needed to help control dough temperature during mixing and maintain consistent product quality. Additional peaks can also occur around busy production periods such as Easter, Christmas, summer events and wedding seasons, when higher volumes of baked goods may be required within a shorter timeframe.
As with a purchased machine, all of our industrial ice Machines are fitted with an HMI touchscreen as standard. Features include a built-in hygiene programme that flushes, cleans and sanitises all internal water components, as well as a 24/7 timer programme that allows ice production to be scheduled around your operational requirements.
Every rental machine also benefits from installation, technical support, maintenance cover and breakdown assistance throughout the rental period.
You can rent an ice machine for as long as you require. Whether you need additional capacity for a few weeks, a seasonal rental, or a long-term solution, our team can tailor a package to suit your requirements.
For short-term projects, seasonal demand or temporary increases in production, renting is often the most cost-effective option. For businesses requiring year-round ice production over many years, purchasing may provide better long-term value. Our team can help you compare both options based on your expected usage.
At Ice Systems, we supply both flake ice machines and chip ice machines. Each produces a different type of ice suited to specific applications and industries, and our team can advise on the most suitable solution for your requirements.
