Ice comes in many different shapes and types on its own. In our ice makers, the ice may be different in shape and type as well. In fact, there are six different types and shapes of ice that you may run into with our different machines: nuggets, flakes, cubes, full cubes, half cubes, crescent, and gourmet. Knowing the different types and shapes of ice can help you to make a better decision about the type of ice that you might prefer for your beverages, food displays, or special events.
