Ice machines can be a hotbed (or rather coldbed) for mold, mildew, and biofilm—if they are not maintained properly. You may think cold temperatures wouldn’t be a hospitable environment for grime and slime to grow.
But they are, thanks in large to the moisture. On top of that, so much can enter the machine, whether it’s through the water, people handling the ice, or airborne viruses circulating the machine.
Okay, you get the picture.
The good news is there are measures you can take to ensure the integrity of every cube. Routine descaling and sanitizing are a must. Proper water filtration is another.
And there’s one more secret weapon that continuously sanitizes without using chemicals or relying on your manual effort… It’s ozone disinfection.
The Chemical-Free, Hassle-Free, Worry-Free Solution
Ozone disinfection is an oxidizing agent that’s stronger and more effective than other disinfectants. It attacks at the molecular level to remove dirt and bacteria before they even come in contact with surfaces.
This mighty sanitizer removes the contaminants from both the water and ice basis using the power of ozone—not any formulas or cleaning agents—so you get tastier ice with fewer maintenance visits and costs.
Our Award-Winning Disinfection System: Oxidice
Our Everpure Oxidice Ice Machine Disinfection System is compact and ready to attack. It treats the water, air, and ice machine surfaces from the inside—reducing the growth of bacteria, molds, yeast, and other contaminants.
And because it’s chemical-free, it leaves no residues or off-tastes behind.
As for its design, Oxidice is award-winning. All the units and connectors come standard. There’s no refilling or recharging required.
The system includes many bells and whistles, including LED status indicators, an automated service timer, a micro-processor, and more.
The universal power supply and compact size work with most ice machines. Oxidice can be more efficiently than comparable technologies and is certified under NSF, UL, CE, and UKCA.
In 2023, Oxidice received the prestigious Best New Product Award for its health and sustainable innovation at the World of Coffee event.
