Sanitation Made Simple.

Hygiene is important for equipment.  This is what Sunice has required for the components used on every ice maker for more than 20 years.  From the food-grade materials in the plastic parts we use, to the color of the sinks and baffles (white is a better way to identify contaminants), to the easy-to-clean front evaporator, Sunice designs and manufactures ice machines with food safety and product hygiene in mind.

 

For employees in restaurants, bars, milk tea drinks shops and catering services, they may be more inclined to focus on serving customers well, and may pay less attention to the equipment of the ice machine.  Therefore, we design the ice machine into a one-click automatic cleaning function, convenient, intelligent and fast daily cleaning.  We made a detailed video for users to watch.

The purpose of this page is to make it easier, safer and more hygienic for you to use your device.  Come here and you'll find the information you need to keep your ice maker running smoothly, and most importantly, you get satisfaction from getting to know us and serving your customers better!

Enhanced Sanitation through Built In Features  

Sunice  has the widest offering of enhanced sanitation solutions built into their ice machines. 

HINGED DOOR TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION Who knew hinges could be a sanitation feature? Unlike other manufacturers who require you to completely remove the front panel, the Indigo NXT has hinges, so you don’t need to set it aside and risk exposure to contaminants when performing regular de-scaling and sanitizing.


​FRONT-FACING EVAPORATOR DESIGN FOR EASIER CLEANING Easy and safe access to clean. Other manufacturers’ models either require a ladder and even a special a 3-foot brush to descale the evaporator from the top! Many require you to move equipment to gain access from the sides. 


ROUNDED CORNERS make regular wipe-downs easy and prevent contaminants from building up in hard-to-reach corners. 


SEALED FOOD ZONE TO KEEP CONTAMINANTS OUT You won’t find more robust food-zone sealing than in the Indigo® NXT. Both the front door and the top of the food zone are sealed with heavy-duty rubber gaskets, which effectively keeps contaminated air out.


NO TOOLS REQUIRED FOR DETAILED CLEANING When performing a detailed cleanings on both Indigo NXT and Neo, all the component parts that need to be removed for sanitizing and de-scaling can be removed in a matter of minutes—without the use of tools.


ALPHASAN is a silver-based antimicrobial additive incorporated into food zone plastics that protects against odors, discoloration and other problems caused by microbial contamination. Works by releasing a silver ion exclusively in conditions that are conducive to bacterial growth.


DURATECH® exterior resists smudging and corrosion, and cleans easily.

Enhanced Sanitation through Add On Features  

LuminIce® II
Creates "active air" by recirculating the air inside the ice machine food zone over a UV light. This "active air" passes over exposed food zone components to inhibit the growth of yeast, bacteria, and other common microorganisms.

Sunice Sanitizer and De-scaler
Cleaner/De-scaler removes lime scale and mineral deposits from machine components. Sanitizer is used at least once every six months to remove algae, biofilm growth and to disinfect the machine. Meets EPA criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2 (cause of COVID-19).

iAucs®
Automatically de-scales your ice machine so you have more time to focus on your business and your customers are served the clear ice they crave.

Arctic Pure®
This two-stage system removes sediments like sand, rust and dirt. In stage two, the water filter traps microorganisms, polymers, chlorine and minerals to ensure a better tasting ice.
