Self-contained ice makers are standalone appliances that produce and store ice within a single unit. Unlike modular ice makers, they do not require separate bins or dispensers. These compact machines are commonly used in smaller commercial settings such as cafes, small restaurants, offices, and homes. Self-contained ice makers are designed to produce a specific type of ice, such as cubes, nuggets, or flakes, depending on the model. They offer a convenient and space-saving solution for generating ice on-demand, providing a reliable supply of ice for beverages and other cooling purposes.
