Follett Ice Makers, Dispensers, Refrigerators, Freezers, and Incubators

Follett Ice Machines is an ice-making and ice-handling equipment manufacturer committed to innovation, reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. Follett was founded in 1948 by Roy Follet and Henry Korber in New York. Follett Ice is located in Easton, PA, and provides "innovative solutions inspired by ice" for operators in diverse sectors, including foodservice, healthcare, and workplaces. Follett Products, LLC makes Follett ice machines; it operates as an independent brand under the international foodservice equipment leader Middleby Corporation. The company's globally distributed product line includes commercial ice makers, dispensers, ice storage & transport solutions, and related equipment.

Follet Ice Makers

Follett Ice manufactures top-mount ice maker heads compatible with most Follett ice bins and dispensers. Condenser configuration options include self-contained air and water-cooled or remote air-cooled. Follett Ice Machines' signature ChewbletĀ® ice ā€“ soft, nugget-shaped for ultimate chewability ā€“ is a crowd favorite, while flaked ice and other alternatives offer versatility. The Maestro Plus Series ice makers produce 425 lb (192.77 kg) per hour. Horizon Elite Series machines' production capacity ranges from 759 lb (344.25 kg) to 2039 lb (924.94 kg).

Follett ice makers provide these capacities with energy-efficient designs that minimize operating costs. They promise 35 to 50 % less water consumption than comparable cube-ice machines. Follett's ice machines' semi-automatic sanitizing system and antimicrobial protection promote hygiene. They work silently and smartly with harvest assist and intelligent remote diagnostics technologies.

Follet ice machines work similarly to most commercial ice makers but have an advanced, multi-stage filtration system for cleaner and better-tasting ice. The freshwater that enters the machine goes through this water filter system. The most distinctive feature of Follet ice machines is their patented RIDE (Remote Ice Delivery) technology. It automatically transports ice through a tube up to 75 ft (22.86 m) away, offering great installation flexibility and improving sanitation.
