Just a repost from 2018 when this article was still live and complete interview with Polar Ice Systems president Tim Birkett

- WHO does the nationwide leading foodservice equipment magazine interview for over an hour and use "expert" advice from to print in their article about "perfect ice" you may ask ?
the ICEMAN of course , who else ?????????😂🤣

I cut a short paragraph out if you want the cliff notes version.........

The new numbers mean there are fewer Energy Star-rated units on the market; however, ice machines from all major makers now make more ice with less energy and less environmental impact than units that rolled off the line just a few years ago. “Operators looking for savings on water and electric bills need to really evaluate this depending on the age of their current machine; they may actually be astonished by the efficiency upgrades,” says Tim Birkett, President of DeMotte, Ind.-based Polar Ice Systems, which sells, leases and services ice machines. However, he cautions, operators should note each maker’s efficiency standards, since there are substantial differences from one manufacturer to another. For example, product spec sheets typically list energy and water usage per 100 lb. of ice; several manufacturers, but not all, submit their numbers for certification by the Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Institute.
