Can the Ice Vending Machine Work Reliably in 35°C Weather?

Yes, absolutely. Our machines use commercial tropicalized compressors designed to operate reliably in high-temperature climates.

In 35°C weather, the machine adjusts automatically. Please note two normal technical changes:

Ice output: Daily production drops by 15%–25% because freezing takes a bit longer.
Power use: Electricity use rises by 15%–20% because the compressor works harder.

Tips for best performance in hot weather:

Water temperature: Cooler input water makes ice faster. Lower water temperature means higher daily output.
Ventilation: Install the machine in the shade with good airflow to help heat escape.

How Much Water Does the Ice Maker Vending Machine Need?

The ice dispenser machine needs about 2kg of raw water for every 1kg of ice.

This includes the water used for ice making and the water lost during RO filtration:

About 1kg of water goes into ice making.
About 1kg of water becomes RO wastewater.

Water use changes with the amount of ice made and with local water quality.

What Water Filter Does the Ice Cube Vending Machine Use?

The ice dispenser machine uses a 5-stage water filter system with RO. The water passes through these stages in order:

5-micron PP cotton
Granular activated carbon
1 micron PP cotton
Reverse osmosis (RO)
T33 coconut shell activated carbon

Can the Bagged Ice Vending Machine Also Sell Loose Ice?

Yes. The automatic ice vending machine can sell both bagged ice and loose ice. One machine can offer both options. Users choose the ice type on the touchscreen.

The ice cube vending machine supports:

Bagged ice: 1–5kg per bag
Loose ice: 1–10kg per purchase

This means customers can buy ice in bags or take loose ice from the same machine. It is a useful choice for different ice buyers.
