In summer or tropical areas, ice cubes are popular among consumers as a quick way to cool down. Most businesses will launch a variety of cold drinks and foods with ice cubes added. However, not all businesses have their own comcommercial icee machine. Many businesses rely on bagged ice for various reasons. However, the price of bulk ice bags has been rising, and there is no guarantee that the quality of existing ice bags is the best.
This article will introduce you to the hidden dangers of buying bagged ice and describe the advantages of commercial icee machine to help you have a better development in the ice making business.
Hidden Dangers Of Buying Bagged Ice
- Unstable ice supply: If there is a problem with the ice bag retail supplier or the amount of ice used suddenly increases, it will lead to insufficient ice supply, affecting the normal operation of the business
- Quality cannot be guaranteed: Bagged ice is not always made with the best quality pure water, and inferior ice cubes are easy to break. Using these ice cubes with health risks will damage the service quality of the business and affect the reputation of the business.
- Cause environmental pollution and waste of resources: Bags of bagged ice are generally disposable plastic bags, which will be discarded after use, which will cause plastic waste and may cause plastic pollution.
- Not suitable for long-term investment: The retail price of bagged ice is relatively cheap, but it is undoubtedly unwise from the perspective of long-term investment.
Let’s calculate: If you are an individual merchant in the Philippines and you need 100 pounds of ice a day, and a bag of edible ice is 10 pounds and the retail price is $2, then your daily cost is $20. To ensure sufficient ice, a PE-150P Integrated Commercial Ice Machine costs about $800 including freight, with a power of 0.42KW, and the daily water and electricity costs for ice making are calculated at $2.5. We assume that the consumption of the two ways of using ice on the Xth day is equal to what we get: 20X=800+2.5X, X=45.7, and after 48 consecutive days of work, the total cost of buying bulk ice bags exceeds the cost of buying ice making machines.
Advantages Of Buying Commercial Icee Machine
- Sustainable development: One of the advantages of owning an commercial icee machine is that it reduces the generation of plastic waste and eliminates automobile emissions in the transportation of bulk ice bags. And the ability to continuously produce ice does not require worrying about sudden interruptions in ice supply.
- The quality of ice cubes is guaranteed: Commercial ice machine use filtered and treated water to make ice cubes, which can strictly control the quality of ice cubes. Eliminate the situation where poor ice quality affects consumer experience and business reputation.
- Suitable for long-term business development: Through the previous calculations, it can be found that using the initial cost of purchasing an commercial ice machine in exchange for a reduction in long-term business operating costs and increasing business operating profits is undoubtedly a very wise decision
- Convenience of ice making business: With an ice machine, you can reduce the time of managing inventory, and you don’t have to over-forecast inventory. You can have more time to handle daily work and concentrate on providing customers with high-quality services.
Summary
