Koolaire

Koolaire by Manitowoc

Koolaire Ice Machines manufactures low-cost commercial ice makers and ice bins for restaurants, cafes, bars, and other foodservice and hospitality. Despite being a relatively young brand introduced in 2014, Koolaire is a sub-brand of Manitowoc, a long-time manufacturer of refrigeration systems and ice makers since 1964, and relies on extensive expertise and technological know-how on ice making and commercial refrigeration. Manitowoc has gained a well-deserved reputation in the industry with its dedication to innovative technologies that created vertical evaporators, the first automated cleaning system for ice machines, and installing a touch panel control unit.

Koolaire extends this long-term knowledge to the new line of affordable commercial ice makers and ice bins, which feature durable construction to minimize the total cost of ownership by maximizing the service life. Koolaire ice makers present reduced energy consumption, and 10 models in the collection have Energy-Star certification. The company uses eco-friendly coolants that have less environmental impact. Koolaire offers a 3-year parts and labor warranty, while the evaporator and compressor are under warranty for 5 years.

Koolaire Products

Koolaire produces kube ice makers, undercounter ice machines, ice bins, and ice maker accessories. To address all types of ice production needs, Koolaire has developed a rich inventory of durable and reliable ice makers and bins available in various sizes to address commercial operations and residential needs.

Koolaire Kubers

Koolaire Kuber series are engineered to make cube ice with lower energy and water use (about 5.9 kWh electricity and 19-gallon water (71.922 Liters) per 100 Ibs (45.359 kg) ice) for commercial settings. Offered in air-cooled and water-cooled models, Koolaire ice machines can make half cubes (3/8" x 1-1/8" x 7/8" (0.95 x 2.86 x 2.22 cm)) and full cubes (7/8" x 7/8" x 7/8" (2.22 x 2.22 x 2.22 cm)). Koolaire ice machines are available in a wide array, starting from the compact-size 22-inch-wide () units that can produce up to 440 Ibs (199.581 kg) of ice per day, while the 48" (121.92 cm) models have 1765 Ibs (800.590 kg) of ice production capacity per day.

Koolaire ice makers feature the CleanAir™ pack, designed to monitor and prevent bacteria and fungi growth in the production chamber. Koolaire Kuber ice machines have an automatic cleaning system that starts the ice production cycle after the complete cleaning.

Koolaire Undercounter

Koolaire presents space-saving undercounter ice machines, which have 26" (66.04 cm) width and 38.5" (97.79 cm) to help you allocate floor area for your other equipment. These units have a daily ice production capacity of 169 lbs (77 kg) to meet medium-size requirements. Depending on your needs, these undercounter ice makers produce half-cube and full-cube ice types.

Koolaire Bins

Koolaire keeps your back when you finish the ice production and has more ice than you can use at that time with spacious and efficiently designed Koolaire ice bins. Featuring stainless steel and a non-corrosive polished exterior, these commercial ice bins have foam-insulated doors to maintain the interior cold and allow easier reach for the produced ice stay-open design. Commercial ice bins by Koolaire come with 4 adjustable feet that can be raised from 6" to 7.75" (15.24 to 20.32 cm) to retain their position even on rugged floors. Koolaire commercial ice bins can be used with the modular Koolair ice machines and can hold up to 882 Ibs (400 kg) of ice.

Koolaire Accessories

Koolaire improves the ice machine experience with the filters that are produced to hinder bacterial growth, while descalers and sanitizers are ideal for removing lime and scale from your machine. Additionally, the company offers remote condensers for ice machines and metal scoops to provide easier ice handling.

How to Clean a Koolaire Ice Machine?

The best way to clean a Koolaire ice machine is to use the company's deliming and scale removers, specifically developed for all Manitowoc and Koolaire products. Automatic cleaning systems in the Koolaire ice machines bring a significant advantage by allowing fast cleaning before ice production.
