Follett Ice Makers

Follett Ice Makers – Innovative Ice Solutions for Healthcare and Hospitality

When it comes to premium commercial ice machines, Follett Ice Makers have earned a reputation for innovation, reliability, and exceptional user experience. Known for their industry-leading “Chewblet® ice,” Follett’s American-made machines are a preferred choice in both foodservice and healthcare environments across Australia and beyond.

Whether you’re running a hospital ward, a café, or a high-traffic convenience store, Follett offers a commercial ice making solution that prioritises efficiency, hygiene, and customer satisfaction.

What Makes Follett Ice Makers Different?

Unlike traditional cube ice machines, Follett ice makers are best known for producing their proprietary Chewblet ice—soft, chewable nugget-shaped ice that’s pleasant to consume and fast to chill drinks. This type of ice is ideal for:

• Healthcare facilities – where patients may struggle to chew or swallow hard cube ice

• Fast-service restaurants and cafés – where quick cooling with minimal dilution is critical

• Bars and beverage stations – for premium cocktail presentation and customer enjoyment

• Breakrooms and self-serve applications – where staff or customers value clean, chewable ice

This unique ice texture not only enhances the customer experience but also reduces drink dilution, making it a standout choice for high-volume beverage operations.

Commercial Ice Maker Models to Suit Every Business

Follett ice makers are available in a wide variety of configurations to meet the specific demands of different commercial environments. Whether space is limited or ice demand is constant, there’s a model to match.

✅ Countertop & Undercounter Models

Compact and self-contained, these ice machines are ideal for small hospitality venues, staff kitchens, clinics, and food prep areas where ease of access and space-saving are top priorities.

✅ Top-Mounted Ice Dispensers

Follett’s top-mounted units are popular in hospitals and aged care settings where hygiene and ergonomic access are critical. These models combine hands-free dispensing with compact design, reducing cross-contamination and improving workflow.

✅ High-Capacity Remote Systems

For high-traffic or multi-station environments, Follett offers exclusive ice-through-a-tube technology. These systems allow you to produce ice in a central location and dispense it remotely, reducing clutter and improving service speed across multiple floors or rooms.

This remote delivery system is a game-changer in large hospitals, stadiums, or multi-outlet foodservice businesses where centralised production boosts both efficiency and cleanliness.

Built for Commercial Durability

Every Follett ice maker is engineered for 24/7 commercial use, with premium-grade stainless steel construction, corrosion-resistant internal components, and smart diagnostics for preventative maintenance.

Many models include self-cleaning functions, air- or water-cooled condensers, and simple filter replacement processes—all designed to reduce downtime and extend machine life. With regular servicing, Follett units can reliably serve your business for years, even in the most demanding environments.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

Follett is also known for its environmentally responsible design. Many of its ice machines are ENERGY STAR® certified, using air-cooled condensers and natural refrigerants to lower power consumption and minimise environmental impact.

By investing in a Follett ice maker, businesses not only ensure consistent ice output but also enjoy lower operating costs and support sustainable business practices.
