www.manitowoc.co.za 0722315060 When you decide to start an ice business the ideal machine to use would be an 320 kg per 24 hours machine (KDT0700A) and a 320 kg bin (B320). These machines are single phase 220 volt machines so a normal household plug can run the machine with no problem. Using a smaller machine would be a 240 kg per 24 hours which is about R5000.00 rand cheaper, for that saving you are loosing about one third of the ice capacity, when you consider ice bags are packed in 4 kg packs and 240 kg’s will amount to 60 bags of ice, a normal size 210 liter house hold freezer hold 20 bags of 4 kg ice, this means a 240 kg machine will fill 3 freezers full of ice per 24 hours, you will be able to refill 4 or 5 places you supply ice to every 24 hrs, this is not much and in a few weeks you will be looking to buy another machine and kicking yourself for not spending the extra and getting a machine with a 100 kg’s more, looking ahead two 320 kg machines is not much more expensive than one 700 kg machine so when purchasing a second machine you will not be wasting, also the problem with one machine is when it stops you have no ice, two smaller machines will at least leave you with half capacity still being supplied. (do not put all your eggs in one basket) What ice shape The types of ice are square (cube or dice) and round (gourmet) that are available in south Africa, the gourmet cube is a bigger and much more preferred cube, however the machine is about twice the price of a dice cube machine, so to start I would suggest a dice cube machine, later when your client base has grown you can get a gourmet cube machine and selective clients can be supplied with gourmet cubes, if you start with a gourmet cube machine you will end up supplying people gourmet ice at a huge cost to fill their cooler boxes which is a waste Water Filters are an option to keep in mind Depending on the water condition you may want to consider installing a water filter, The inline filters simply connect between the tap and the machine.

Stock management is the process of supervising and regulating the ordering, storage, and usage of resources in a firm. It entails planning, arranging, managing, and monitoring stock levels to ensure that there is enough stock to fulfil consumer demand without exceeding storage capacity and that the stock is of sufficient quality and quantity. Stock management systems assist firms in tracking stock levels, costs, and other information to ensure that stock is accessible when needed and is not wasted. Stock management is vital because it allows firms to keep track of what they have in stock, monitor inventory levels, and guarantee that there is adequate supply to fulfil client demand. It also assists firms in planning ahead of time and purchasing the proper quantity of inventory at the right moment, lowering costs and enhancing cash flow. Furthermore, stock management assists firms in identifying and correcting inventory problems, ensuring that consumers receive the things they want when they require them.
