Good morning,
We are currently reviewing the ice machines used in our facility and looking to upgrade if required. Does anyone have experience with ice machines ie. pros and cons, what cleaning and maintenance schedule their facility has etc. I am aware of the food safety guidelines and CHRISP information but interested in ICPs experience.
At this stage ours are not required for any medical type use such as organ transportation.Thank you

Dear Robyn
In our new build we have installed self dispensing ice machines for ice for human consumption. The machines are sanitised 3 monthly and in addition descaled 6 monthly, this is performed by a private contractor that is AS/NZS ISO 22000:2005 and AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008 certified.
This process is coordinated by our food services manager, all ice machines are barcoded as well as the location documented, this is to ensure that each machine receives the appropriate service 3 monthly.
Please contact me directly if you would like more information on this process.
Regards
