KOLD-DRAFT has been manufacturing commercial ice machines that produce the best ice in the world. KOLD-DRAFT's exclusive "upside-down" horizontal evaporator ice-making system produces pure, solid, sparkling ice that cools faster, melts slower, and doesn’t distort the taste of beverages.

1. For more than 50 years, our passion has
been to create the perfect cube

2. Ice Is Not Just Ice
The ice that you use directly translates to the overall
quality of your product – it’s an ingredient
Today’s resurgence of the classic cocktail demands
high standards
Nothing spoils a cocktail faster than bad ice

3. The Best Ice In The World
KOLD-DRAFT Ice Machines produce:
– Ice that’s free of impurities
– Ice that’s uniformly shaped
– Ice that sparkles
– Ice that melts slowly
– Ice that looks like ice should
“Bars like Drink and Craigie on Main are customizing their ice to the drinks.
They have these things called KOLD-DRAFT ice machines that make these big
dense square cubes. You can use them on their own in a rocks glass and it
will make the drink cold, but it melts slowly.”
- Lauren Clark
Founder of DrinkBoston.com

4. The Best Ice In The World
Since 1955, KOLD-DRAFT has been the premier brand
of automatic ice machines using a unique evaporator
and water plate system, KOLD-DRAFT’S design
produces perfect, pure, clear, hard
ice cubes - every time.

5. Pure Ice: Upside-Down
KOLD-DRAFT uses the horizontal
ice making system ensuring:
– Time proven design
– Pure, clear ice that melts
slower and keeps drinks
colder longer

6. Pure Ice: Upside-Down
The horizontal evaporator is essentially an upside
down ice tray
– Rapid harvests reduce the amount of
ice meltage during each harvest
– Minimal webs between cubes
which eliminates “waffle ice”
– Perfectly shaped cubes

7. Pure Ice: Upside-Down
Water is pumped "up“ into the cells and freezes from
the outside- out minerals and foreign substances before
the water forms into cubes
As the water circulates continuously through the freezing
cell, it forms ice smoothly on the cold surfaces,
eliminating air and flushing away impurities

8. Pure Ice: Upside-Down
Each cell acts as an individual freezing unit
The evaporator is solid copper for the most efficient
heat transfer
Electro-tin plated for protection against corrosion
Tin also has anti-microbial qualities to protect
food and potable water

9. What’s Wrong With Vertical Machines?
Many of KOLD-DRAFT’S competitors make ice with
a vertical design
Ice machines designed with vertical evaporators tend to
freeze the impurities that are in the water into the ice
– Ice tends to sticks together
– Impurities in the water tend to corrode the evaporator and
clog the ports
– This requires expensive water filtration equipment or a
self-cleaning system to minimize problems

10. A True Fresh Water Cuber
With KOLD-DRAFT, you don't have to spend the
extra money on expensive water filtration equipment,
add-on self-cleaning units, replacement filters and
maintenance labor
KOLD-DRAFT automatically flushes out and rinses
the system with each harvest and starts the next cycle
with a fresh batch of water

11. Why Choose KOLD-DRAFT?
1. Time-proven horizontal water plate and evaporator
ice making system

4. On/Off/Wash switch up front
5. Liquid level control guarantees fully-formed cubes
without over freezing

12. Why Choose KOLD-DRAFT?
The ONLY Full Size Cube in the US
1 1/4" × 1 1/4" × 1 1/4"
This is the slowest melting ice cube period.

13. Why Choose KOLD-DRAFT?
Based on a 2004 Penn State University study, KOLD-DRAFT ice exceeded the purity of all competitors
tested and contained the lowest amount of calcium carbonate of tested machines.
Slower Melting Ice
– Slowest melting ice cubes on the market
– Pure ice melts slower
– Does not distort the taste of any drink

14. Why Choose KOLD-DRAFT?
Harder Ice
– Hard ice lasts longer in storage bins, cocktail sinks, drinks,
salad bars and coolers
– Harvested ice is colder than the freezing temperature
of water

15. Why Choose KOLD-DRAFT?
Based on a 2004 Penn State University study, KOLD-DRAFT ice exceeded the purity of all competitors
tested and contained the lowest amount of calcium carbonate of tested machines.
Incredibly Pure Ice
– The least impurities
– More pure than water supply
– Nearly as pure as distilled water
– Unique horizontal evaporator actually freezes impurities out

16. Why Choose KOLD-DRAFT?
Longer Life
– KOLD-DRAFT Ice Machines
last two to three times longer
than competitors
– Time proven design for more
than half a century
– KOLD-DRAFT was the first and
is still the best top-shelf ice
machine system on the market
This machine was in service for
43 years and still works today…
can any competitors say that?

17. How Does KOLD-DRAFT Stack Up?
All cubers are compatible with new and old cubers,
crushers, dispensers and bins
– Guarantees maximum flexibility
– Allows ice making capacity to
increase as requirements grow
– Simple and economical way
to expand capacity

18. How Does KOLD-DRAFT Stack Up?
Only 16" high – can stack four to
"
five cubers to competitors two
Rugged frame won’t buckle
Skins are not part of the support
structure
Can mix models in a stack:
– Old style/new style
– Different sizes
– Crushers

That's a big cube, made only by a
KOLD-DRAFT machine.”

20. Testimonial
“Nothing will spoil a cocktail faster than
bad ice. Ice is truly at the foundation
of all great cocktails and it is impossible
to make great cocktails without great ice,
and KOLD-DRAFT makes great ice.”

21. “We have about 30 of the original KOLD-DRAFT ice machines,
installed in 1969, still in operation. KOLD-DRAFT equipment is
easy to work on and maintain. We started some cyclical
equipment replacement over the last three years with 15 new
machines, but we haven’t put them all into service yet because
we don’t need to replace most
of the existing equipment.“
- Rodney Schauf
Director of Engineering

22. “When it’s really cranking around here, we never worry about
ice - we know the KOLD-DRAFT machines will be running. I wish
KOLD-
all of our equipment could be as reliable as the ice machines”.
- Archie Casbarian
Arnaud's Restaurant - New Orleans

23. “More than 14 KOLD-DRAFT ice
KOLD-
machines and dispensers have
proven their reliability and
dependability serving the
demands of the hotel and its
guests. Those machines have
been here since 1982, and they
only require minor adjustments.”
Four Diamond Rating: CAA and AAA
- Greg Gooding
Hotel Manager

24. The KOLD-DRAFT ice machines that we
are now using have been superior to
other units that we have used and have
given us a tremendous advantage over
the last several years. The ice is used
everyday on the practice field to cool
the water, post-practice drinks and
the players.
