Modular Ice Machines - Head Units with Storage Bins
The most common and widely used.

A Modular ice machine is composed of an ice-making head and separate ice storage bin.

Head Units
The head unit is a standard ice maker and condensing unit. Condesnsers can be air-cooled, water-cooled or, remote-cooled. It can produce a range of 300 to 2400 lbs of ice per 24 hrs. Available in a variety of sizes and ice types, it allows you to design an machine to fit your ice production and storage requirements.

Storage Bins
Storage Bin capacity ranges of 200 to 2000 lbs. It is important to choose a bin that will hold enough ice on your peak business days, but won't overflow during downtime.

At Kirby we have pre-packaged a variety of head units and storage bins, to give you the bin that is most compatible with your ice machine.

Remote Condensers- Designed for use with remote-cooled ice makers

Remote condensers allow quiet operation and provides energy savings. The remote unit takes the biggest heat-producing component, the condenser, out of the ice maker and your kitchen altogether. The remote approach does not require water and removes most of the heat from the service area. Remote ice makers are also quieter than typical machines because some of the machinery has been relocated. The condenser can be located up to about 50 feet away, including the roof.


At Kirby we have pre-packaged several of the most popular cube remote-cooled head units, remote condensers, and storage bins, based on our 38 year experience to provide you profitable ice productions.

Cube ice is clear and comes in various shapes —rectangular, full cube, half cube, gourment, contour, or other regular shapes. The largest dimension is about 1.25 inches (3.18 centimeters). Pieces of cube ice range in weight from 1/6 to 1/2 ounce (4.8 to 14.0 grams) and contain minimal amounts of liquid water. Learn More about Cube Ice

Flaked ice is the most economical to produce and ideal for rapid cooling. Fills in around foods, unlike cubes that create warm air pockets that melt your ice. Generally used in cold pans or displays where ice need to be molded to the foods. Occasionally is it used in specialty drinks and soft drinks. Learn more about Flake Ice
