This directory lists certified automatic commercial ice-cube machines (bath type) and ice storage bins.
The Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute sponsors and administers certification programs to help
ensure that industry products perform as rated.
PERSPECTIVE
The Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) is a voluntary, nonprofit organization comprised of
the manufacturers of air conditioning, refrigeration, and heating products. Members of ARI produce more
than 90 percent of the air conditioning and refrigeration machinery and components manufactured in the
United States.
ARI traces its history back to 1903 when the Ice Machine Builders’ Association of the United States
started. ARI was formed in 1953 through a merger of two related trade associations. Since that time
several other related trade associations have been merged into ARI, making it the strong association that
it is today.
Over the past 30 Years, ARI has emerged as the major voice for the industry. Manufacturers are drawn to
ARI membership in part because of the variety of services and benefits afforded those who participate in
ARI Activities. These activities include:
• Establishing standards for testing and rating products.
• Testing products to verify certified performance ratings, and publishing certification rating data.
• Providing representation and technical assistance to government entities on federal, state, and local
legislative and regulatory matters.
• International trade research and analysis.
• Public relations and promotional programs for the industry.
• Consumer education programs.
• Credit information services.
• Regular statistical reports on product shipments.
WHAT CERTIFICATION MEANS
Two of ARI’s most important functions are the development of performance rating standards and the
administration of performance certification programs for eligible products. Each product section, with the
support of the ARI engineering staff, may develop certification programs for eligible products.
Participation in the program is voluntary and open to members and nonmembers of ARI on an equal level
basis.
ARI regularly selects random samples of equipment to be tested by an independent laboratory under
contract to ARI. The equipment is tested, using procedures stipulated in the corresponding ARI standard,
to verify that it meets the manufacturer’s certified published performance ratings.
The ARI certification label appearing on products has been an indication of verified performance for more
than 40 years. Once a product is certified it is listed with its performance ratings in the appropriate ARI
directory. These directories serve as authoritative sources of specification and performance rating for
manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, contractors, utilities, architects, engineers, and consumers. The
ARI certification directories serve as reference manuals for many government agencies.
This directory of Certified Automatic Commercial Ice-Cube Machines and Ice Storage Bins lists all eligible
models, of this type of equipment, produced by each manufacturer participating in the certification
program of the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute.
