Kooler Ice IM2500 Ice Vending Machine – 2,300 lb Bin, 400+ Bags Daily, New

IM2500 Ice Vending Machine — 2,300 lb High-Capacity Automated Ice House

The IM2500 ice vending machine is Kooler Ice’s highest-capacity outdoor ice and water vending unit, built around a 2,300 lb insulated storage bin and an on-board Scotsman Prodigy ice maker. It produces, automatically bags, and dispenses fresh ice around the clock with no attendant, vending in 10 lb/20 lb or 16 lb/32 lb bag configurations and holding up to 500 empty bags in its bag holder. The machine ships standard with one ice maker and can be upgraded on-site with a second, third, and fourth icemaker, lifting output to 400+ bags per day at fully configured capacity.

This is the model operators choose when a single high-traffic site needs serious daily volume: gas stations, supermarkets, marinas, campgrounds, and industrial yards where bagged-ice demand outruns smaller ice houses. Customers pay at the machine with coins, bills, credit/debit cards, or coupons, and the IceTalk™ remote monitoring system reports sales, inventory, and service alerts to your phone or computer, so one owner can run the location from anywhere. A filtered or reverse-osmosis water vending option can be added to sell purified water alongside ice from the same footprint.

IM2500 Ice Vending Machine Specifications

Key Features

• Scalable ice production: start with one Scotsman Prodigy ice maker and add up to three more as demand grows — the upgrade is performed on-site, so the machine grows with the location instead of being replaced.
• Fully automated bagging: the IM2500 makes the ice, bags it, and delivers it down the chute — no staff handling, no back-room merchandiser to restock.
• Insulated (non-refrigerated) storage: the 2,300 lb bin holds ice in heavy insulation rather than running a separate refrigeration circuit, which keeps energy use and mechanical complexity down.
• IceTalk™ telemetry: 24/7 sales, ice-level, and fault reporting from a phone, tablet, or laptop, plus remote free-vend control.
• Water vending option: add a filtered or reverse-osmosis purified-water station to create a second revenue stream from the same pad.
• Cold Weather Package available: heater and freeze protection for year-round operation in northern climates.
• Corrosion-resistant commercial build: engineered for continuous outdoor duty with a forklift-portable structure.

About Kooler Ice

Kooler Ice, Inc. is an American ice vending machine manufacturer headquartered in Byron, Georgia. Building ice house vending machines since 2007, the company has produced well over 1,600 machines and its IM-series lineup (IM600XL, IM1000, IM1500, IM2500) is one of the most widely deployed families of ice and water vending machines in the United States. The IM2500 sits at the top of that range as the high-volume flagship; full manufacturer documentation is available on the official Kooler Ice IM2500 page.

Where the IM2500 Earns Its Keep

An IM2500 ice vending machine is sized for locations where ice demand is constant and vehicle access is easy: gas stations and travel plazas, convenience stores and supermarkets, marinas, RV parks and campgrounds, sports complexes, car washes, and industrial or construction sites. Bagged ice from a vending machine typically sells for around $1.50–$2.50 per 10 lb bag, and because the machine produces its own ice on demand, operators avoid the delivered-bag costs and melt losses of a traditional merchandiser.

In warm-season, high-traffic spots the expandable ice-maker design lets you match capacity to peak demand instead of paying for it year-round. Requirements at the site are straightforward: a concrete pad, 220V/100A single-phase service, a 3/4″ potable water line, and a 2″ drain.
