Better ice management with gravity dispense

Reduce your operating costs with Horizon Elite

- Easy enough for in-house maintenance personnel to clean
- Advanced auger design reduces operating loads by 80% for long machine life
Reduce scale-mitigation expenses
- Horizon Elite™ produces ice that is 85% lower TDS concentration than that of incoming water
- Horizon Elite reduces or eliminates the need for reverse osmosis or other expensive scale control in high TDS water
![TDS comparison chart](/sites/default/files/styles/max_650x650/public/2023-03/Water%20Conditions%20-%20Solutions%20TDS%20In%20Ice_0_0.png)
Superior performance in all water conditions
Cost of scale in hard water
- In high TDS water, machines need to be descaled far more frequently, costing as much as $200 per visit
- Reverse osmosis is an expensive alternative to frequent descaling
- Neglecting descaling can significantly shorten equipment life
How does Horizon Elite remove TDS?
- The incoming water at the front of the evaporator forces high TDS water to the reservoir at the back of the machine where it's expelled in small volume flushes
- The result is high quality ice with a fraction of the water that cube ice machines use.

- Horizon Elite with RIDE remote ice delivery equipment automatically transports the ice to the dispenser or bin without the risk of slips and falls on spilled ice
- Staff can manually fill Vision ice and beverage dispensers at waist height instead of climbing on ladders or stools
