Packaged Ice in the USA is a $4 billion per year industry, historically dominated by ice delivery companies. Ice is produced in a central location and then hauled to stores and marked up for resale. This method is capital, labor, and fuel intensive. As their costs increase with inflation, retailers must raise prices and sell smaller bags.
Kooler Ice provides a disruptive technology that gets to the heart of the issue. By making, storing, auto-bagging, and dispensing the ice fresh on-site…without needing an attendant… the consumer gets better quality ice, better 24/7 curbside convenience, and a better price. Your expense to produce a bag of ice is a small fraction of what the ice delivery companies must charge, allowing plenty of wiggle room to offer a ‘deal’ to your customers with high profit margins.

HOW LONG HAS KOOLER ICE BEEN MANUFACTURING ICE VENDING MACHINES?
When making a decision, it’s important to consider the long-term success and reputation of ice vending machine manufacturers. Kooler Ice has been a key player in the industry since July 2007, producing over 2400 machines. They focus on establishing a strong market presence and brand recognition to ensure that their machines maintain their value. This commitment to their products and customers demonstrates their dedication to the industry as well as the success of machine owners. Kooler Ice strives for their machines to have the best resale value in the ice vending machine industry, and they invest in marketing and advertising the Kooler Ice brand. The company is dedicated to the ice machine manufacturing industry, their owners, and their success and profitability.
DOES THE MACHINE BAG THE ICE AND WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
There are two types of ice vending machines on the market today: machines that automatically bag the ice and those that require the customer to bag their ice. Providing an ice vending machine that automatically bags the ice requires investment in technology and research.
It is important to offer this option because it aims to provide customers with a safe, quick, and convenient way to purchase fresh ice. When the customer bags the ice, the safety and sterility of the ice can be compromised, as contact with the bagging area, bags, and the ice itself can lead to contamination. This also adds extra steps, instructions, and time, reducing the quick and convenient aspect.
Additionally, when customers need to bag the ice themselves, it can limit sales based on the machine’s ability to be stocked with or mechanically dispense bags. Furthermore, there is a risk of patrons taking more than one bag, leading to financial loss.
In contrast, the Kooler Ice Vending machine automatically makes, stores, bags, and dispenses fresh ice on demand. When the customer selects the quantity of ice needed, it is delivered pre-bagged with no risk of contamination.
DO YOUR MACHINES COME WITH A REFRIGERATION UNIT?
After extensive field tests and feedback from our owners, we determined that producing new ice was more cost-effective than trying to preserve it. As a result, we decided to eliminate the refrigeration unit and stainless steel bin.
Instead, we designed a food-grade plastic, foam-injected ice bin, significantly reducing utility and upfront costs for our owners while increasing their monthly profits.
This new design also provides a surface that is easier to clean and maintain, ensuring a more consistent manufacturing process and ultimately improving customer satisfaction.
ARE KOOLER ICE MACHINES BUILT TO LAST?
Looking to invest in a new pickup truck, tractor, or ice vending machine? Consider this: the frame is the backbone of the unit, determining its durability and future resale value.
At Kooler Ice, we bring over 100 years of combined fabrication experience. Our machines boast heavy-duty aluminum frames with stainless steel components, ensuring long-lasting performance. Moreover, our machines can be rebuilt to meet new production standards, offering extended service life.
WHAT ARE THE UTILITY AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS?
To set up a Kooler Ice Vending machine, you’ll need a 0.5 to 0.75” water line and 220V Single Phase Power. Our installation process is quick and easy. A standard 5000lb forklift will be used to move the machine from the trailer and put it in place. Our trained service technician will handle the installation, which typically takes just a few hours.
While setting up the machine, our service tech will provide a detailed explanation of the machine’s functions, maintenance, and basic troubleshooting tips for you and your team. For machines placed in a parking lot or away from the building, we recommend using a concrete pad with bollards for protection.
In some cases, tie downs may be necessary. Your sales representative will work with you to determine the best installation method for your specific location. Kooler Ice provides drawings for all installation sets for your electrician, plumber, or pad layer to use. They can also contact us with any questions they may have.
WHAT CERTIFICATIONS DO YOU HAVE TO PROTECT OWNERS, DISTRIBUTORS AND CUSTOMERS?
When considering your purchase, it is important to inquire about the testing conducted by the ice machine manufacturer to ensure the safety of their product.
Kooler participates in the NAMA machine evaluation program, which assesses ice and water vending machines according to federal guidelines for sanitation and consumer safety. This voluntary program means that our products are independently evaluated to ensure compliance with all Federal Guidelines for sanitation and consumer safety. Each year, Kooler Ice is visited by a representative of NAMA to certify our machines and any new products or updates that we have introduced.
Kooler Ice has also made investments in having their machines ETL certified to UL 541 Standards. This thorough evaluation ensures that owners are protected and can be confident that Kooler Ice adheres to all national electrical codes and standards.
Many municipalities and health departments are now requiring this certification. Therefore, regardless of which vending machine you purchase, make sure the manufacturer certifies its machines under the NAMA machine evaluation program and has its machines UL or ETL certified to protect you, your customers, and your investment!
