Savvy businesses looking for smart solutions to refine their ice- making journey will be impressed by Icematic’s most recent line of products. Catering to a host of outlets with differing needs, the brand’s new app carves out a clear-cut case of why
it pays to be connected, Icematic’s Paolo Dalla Tor tells Isobel Clark
T
wo years ago, Italian manufacturer Castel MAC took a cool, appraising look at its
range of Icematic icemakers and decided it was high time to tweak the tech a little in order to avoid being frozen out of an ever- evolving landscape. With over four decades in the
sector, there was no disputing the brand’s longevity and success, and this track record informed its intuitive timing of a more customer-centric creation. “We had to deliver a new idea, allowing the customer to adapt the machine to their seasonal production needs, depending on consumption and usage levels,” says Paolo Dalla Tor, R&D manager at Icematic.

And so an invigorating wave
of targets was set in motion, with one of the first challenges being how to replace the existing electronic platforms with one single solution. R&D turned its attention to a new app and software, drawing up plans for revised models, and, crucially, the process of product certification and patents. Particular attention was
paid to the updated tech in the new iterations. For example, beneath their shiny, stainless steel exteriors, they’re now also available with the more environmentally friendly R-290 gas. Tis offers a wider choice of solutions, with lower energy consumption but equal or better ice production.
While developing fresh designs,
components have been unified across the collections where possible, thereby reducing service costs. Tis includes evaporators being protected by a new NSF- approved application to help scale back any metal contamination. “Water-cooled machines are
equipped with high-efficiency condensers, reducing the water consumption when compared to past models,” explains Dalla Tor. Te integral parts of the
icemakers are protected from limescale build-up and harsh descaling products by applying the brand’s Rainbow Technology® nano-technological treatment. “Additionally, this innovative
treatment displays an antibacterial action, reducing the
THE ADVANTAGE IS THAT THOSE SOLUTIONS GRANTED BY THE NEW APP ARE EXTENDED AND ACCESSIBLE FOR LARGE AND SMALL BUSINESSES
