Lec Medical has agreed a deal with Hoshizaki UK, one of world’s leading manufacturers of ice makers, to supply a comprehensive range of ice dispensers and flake/nugget ice machines, specifically designed for medical and laboratory use.

According to Matt Newsome, Marketing Manager at GDPA, the company behind the Lec Medical brand, the expanding medical refrigeration supplier is delighted to be working with such a renowned manufacturer as Hoshizaki. “This exclusive agreement means that we can combine Hoshizaki’s ice-making expertise with our own understanding of the requirements of our medical customers to produce equipment which brings real user benefits every day.”

The ice dispensers are ideal for any situation where a number of people need access to an ongoing ice/water supply, particularly for drinks. As well as being compact and energy efficient the dispensers use a very hygienic method of producing, storing and dispensing ice, perfect for any medical environment. The ice moves directly to the storage hoppers as soon as it is produced so it has no contact with light or air until it is dispensed.

There are three ice maker models in the range, two of which have the facility to select, ice cubes, ice cubes and water or water. The counter-top DCM60FE water and ice maker produces 60 kg of ice in 24 hours, and stores up to 1.9 kg. The DCM120FE has the same compact size and features, but produces ice more than twice as fast for busier locations, at 125 kg in 24 hours, storing up to 4 kg at one time. The floor-standing DIM30AE is for ice cubes only, produces 32 kg of ice in 24 hours and has a much larger storage bin capacity at 15 kg.

There are six flake/nugget ice machines for a wide variety of cooling purposes. The ice is compressed during production to give longer lasting cooling for the transportation and cooling of blood and organs. Flake ice is also ideal for packing around limbs.

The flake/nugget ice machines come in two different dimensions with varying production and storage capacities, with the FM80EE producing 85kg of ice in 24 hours, and storing 26kg, up to the larger FM120EE50 which produces 125 kg of ice in 24 hours and storing 50 kg at one time.
