Easy Ice, a full-service ice machine service provider, has added touchless ice dispensers to its national leasing program inventory, according to a press release.

The machines are fully automated and dispense ice and water without the user ever having to touch the surface of the machine, thereby reducing the risk accidental contamination in the ice supply.

"It provides a cost-effective and sanitary solution for our clients who now more than ever are concerned about ice contamination," CEO Mark Hangen said in the release. "We strive to provide the most efficient inventory to our customers and this addition was critical to move forward safely during the pandemic."

Hands-free ice machines eliminate the possibility of transferring pathogens to a surface, where they can make their way onto drink ware. Easy Ice's expanded inventory includes touchless ice and water dispensers, ice bagging machines and ice dispensing bins to accommodate the needs of many industries.

Easy Ice's touchless machines hold between 650-1000 pounds of ice and can fill eight standard 8-pound bags per minute.
