KOLD-DRAFT Commercial Ice Machines Overview

For more than 50 years, our passion has been to create the perfect cube

Ice Is Not Just Ice The ice that you use directly translates to the overall quality of your product – it’s an ingredient Today’s resurgence of the classic cocktail demands high standards Nothing spoils a cocktail faster than bad ice

The Best Ice In The World KOLD-DRAFT Ice Machines produce: – Ice that’s free of impurities – Ice that’s uniformly shaped – Ice that sparkles – Ice that melts slowly – Ice that looks like ice should “Bars like Drink and Craigie on Main are customizing their ice to the drinks. They have these things called KOLD-DRAFT ice machines that make these big dense square cubes. You can use them on their own in a rocks glass and it will make the drink cold, but it melts slowly.” - Lauren Clark Founder of DrinkBoston.com

The Best Ice In The World Since 1955, KOLD-DRAFT has been the premier brand of automatic ice machines using a unique evaporator and water plate system, KOLD-DRAFT’S design produces perfect, pure, clear, hard ice cubes - every time.

Pure Ice: Upside-Down KOLD-DRAFT uses the horizontal ice making system ensuring: – Time proven design – Pure, clear ice that melts slower and keeps drinks colder longer

Pure Ice: Upside-Down The horizontal evaporator is essentially an upside down ice tray – Rapid harvests reduce the amount of ice meltage during each harvest – Minimal webs between cubes which eliminates “waffle ice” – Perfectly shaped cubes

Pure Ice: Upside-Down Water is pumped "up“ into the cells and freezes from the outside- out minerals and foreign substances before the water forms into cubes As the water circulates continuously through the freezing cell, it forms ice smoothly on the cold surfaces, eliminating air and flushing away impurities

Pure Ice: Upside-Down Each cell acts as an individual freezing unit The evaporator is solid copper for the most efficient heat transfer Electro-tin plated for protection against corrosion Tin also has anti-microbial qualities to protect food and potable water

What’s Wrong With Vertical Machines? Many of KOLD-DRAFT’S competitors make ice with a vertical design Ice machines designed with vertical evaporators tend to freeze the impurities that are in the water into the ice – Ice tends to sticks together – Impurities in the water tend to corrode the evaporator and clog the ports – This requires expensive water filtration equipment or a self-cleaning system to minimize problems

A True Fresh Water Cuber With KOLD-DRAFT, you don't have to spend the extra money on expensive water filtration equipment, add-on self-cleaning units, replacement filters and maintenance labor KOLD-DRAFT automatically flushes out and rinses the system with each harvest and starts the next cycle with a fresh batch of water

Why Choose KOLD-DRAFT? 1. Time-proven horizontal water plate and evaporator ice making system 3 2. Front accessibility to all major 1 controls and components 3. Stainless steel exterior and frame that resists corrosion 4 2 5 4. On/Off/Wash switch up front 5. Liquid level control guarantees fully-formed cubes without over freezing

Why Choose KOLD-DRAFT? The ONLY Full Size Cube in the US 1 1/4" × 1 1/4" × 1 1/4" This is the slowest melting ice cube period.

Why Choose KOLD-DRAFT? Based on a 2004 Penn State University study, KOLD-DRAFT ice exceeded the purity of all competitors tested and contained the lowest amount of calcium carbonate of tested machines. Slower Melting Ice – Slowest melting ice cubes on the market – Pure ice melts slower – Does not distort the taste of any drink

Why Choose KOLD-DRAFT? Harder Ice – Hard ice lasts longer in storage bins, cocktail sinks, drinks, salad bars and coolers – Harvested ice is colder than the freezing temperature of water

Why Choose KOLD-DRAFT? Based on a 2004 Penn State University study, KOLD-DRAFT ice exceeded the purity of all competitors tested and contained the lowest amount of calcium carbonate of tested machines. Incredibly Pure Ice – The least impurities – More pure than water supply – Nearly as pure as distilled water – Unique horizontal evaporator actually freezes impurities out

Why Choose KOLD-DRAFT? Longer Life – KOLD-DRAFT Ice Machines last two to three times longer than competitors – Time proven design for more than half a century – KOLD-DRAFT was the first and is still the best top-shelf ice machine system on the market This machine was in service for 43 years and still works today… can any competitors say that?

How Does KOLD-DRAFT Stack Up? All cubers are compatible with new and old cubers, crushers, dispensers and bins – Guarantees maximum flexibility – Allows ice making capacity to increase as requirements grow – Simple and economical way to expand capacity

How Does KOLD-DRAFT Stack Up? Only 16" high – can stack four to " five cubers to competitors two Rugged frame won’t buckle Skins are not part of the support structure Can mix models in a stack: – Old style/new style – Different sizes – Crushers

“There's only one type of ice I'll tolerate. That's a big cube, made only by a KOLD-DRAFT machine.” KOLD- - Dale DeGroff King of Cocktails

Testimonial “Nothing will spoil a cocktail faster than bad ice. Ice is truly at the foundation of all great cocktails and it is impossible to make great cocktails without great ice, and KOLD-DRAFT makes great ice.” - Tony Abou-Ganim Abou- The Modern Mixologist

“We have about 30 of the original KOLD-DRAFT ice machines, installed in 1969, still in operation. KOLD-DRAFT equipment is easy to work on and maintain. We started some cyclical equipment replacement over the last three years with 15 new machines, but we haven’t put them all into service yet because we don’t need to replace most of the existing equipment.“ - Rodney Schauf Director of Engineering

“When it’s really cranking around here, we never worry about ice - we know the KOLD-DRAFT machines will be running. I wish KOLD- all of our equipment could be as reliable as the ice machines”. - Archie Casbarian Arnaud's Restaurant - New Orleans

“More than 14 KOLD-DRAFT ice KOLD- machines and dispensers have proven their reliability and dependability serving the demands of the hotel and its guests. Those machines have been here since 1982, and they only require minor adjustments.” Four Diamond Rating: CAA and AAA - Greg Gooding Hotel Manager

The KOLD-DRAFT ice machines that we are now using have been superior to other units that we have used and have given us a tremendous advantage over the last several years. The ice is used everyday on the practice field to cool the water, post-practice drinks and the players. - Scott McGonagle MS, ATC/L Head Athletic Trainer
