Press Release: Kooler Ice Introduces the Kooler Ice “Mini” Vending Machine.
Montezuma, Georgia - Kooler Ice Inc., a leader in the ice vending machine business, introduces
the Kooler Ice “Mini” Vending Machine (Model KI 510). The Kooler Ice “Mini”, is the smallest, most productive automatic ice manufacturing and bagging machine on the market today. Kooler Ice Inc. President stated, “After launching the original Kooler Ice vending machine in the summer of 2007, we quickly realized that many convenience stores did not require the production capacity of the original machine, and that a smaller physical design would make our machine accessible to even more businesses”.
“We took the proven design of the KI 810 and reduced the machine by more than half”, state representatives. “The machine is now about the size of a Coke vending machine, and with 220V single phase electric hookup, the unit can literally be plugged into the wall at the front of the convenience store”. The “Mini” uses the same industry leading Scotsman ice makers, and still provides customers with a 10 lb or 20 lb bag choice like the KI 810. The “Mini” is capable of producing up to (90) 10 lb bags of ice daily. In order to lower the unit price and lower the monthly utility cost of the unit, Kooler Ice engineers successfully eliminated the entire refrigeration unit by double insulating the machine. The ice melts very slowly, and in a lower production environment, the ice maker is more than capable of keeping up with slow melt that occurs. By eliminating the refrigeration unit, utility costs should be below $50.00 per month, making the “Mini” the most cost efficient ice vending machine on the market without sacrificing production!
In addition to removing the refrigeration unit, Kooler Ice has reduced the number of parts required to make the machine operate. “Reliability is critical in this business,” states Jeff Dyson, Vice-President of Sales, “our customers cannot have downtime. If the machine does not work, their revenue stops! We have been diligent in making sure the machine is easy to operate, easy to maintain and very reliable. We know if we keep these goals in mind, our owners will be happy and their customers will be too!”
