Why a Touchless Ice Dispenser?

Any high-use appliance poses the risk of transferring harmful pathogens from person-to-person. This is especially the case with self-serve ice dispensers, which are harder to monitor. Standard commercial ice machines require a scoop or a push-button system to retrieve ice. Hands-free ice machines eliminate the possibility of transferring pathogens to a surface, where they can make their way onto drinkware.

Below are some of the reasons why touchless ice dispensers can benefit your industry:
