Kooler Ice IM600XL Ice Vending Machine: 24/7 Automated Bagged Ice and Water Sales
The IM600XL ice vending machine from Kooler Ice is a heavy-duty, self-service ice and water dispenser built to sell fresh bagged ice around the clock with no attendant. At its core is the commercial Scotsman C1848 ice maker, rated for up to 1,909 lbs of ice per 24 hours (output varies with air and water temperature), feeding a double-walled, insulated 550 lb storage bin. In a typical day the machine comfortably dispenses 80–100 ten-pound bags using Kooler Ice’s patented touchless auto-bagging system — the customer pays, and a sealed bag of fresh ice drops on demand.
Because the ice is made on site and vended minutes after production, buyers get colder, fresher ice than pre-bagged truck-delivered product, and the operator skips delivery fees, merchandiser freezers, and melt loss. An optional water-vending package adds 1-gallon and 5-gallon purified water sales through one of three filtration packages, including reverse osmosis, so a single 18-square-foot footprint can run two revenue streams at once.

Key Features
- Touchless auto-bagging — ice is made, stored, bagged, and dispensed automatically; customers never touch loose ice, which supports FDA Food Code sanitation expectations.
- Commercial Scotsman refrigeration — the C1848 Prodigy is a proven workhorse in the ice industry, and the power-saving compressor design keeps electricity draw in check.
- Multi-payment acceptance — the machine takes cash, coins, and card/contactless payments (Apple Pay, Google Wallet) from customers, and its 500-bill validator stretches the time between collection visits.
- IceTalk™ remote monitoring — check sales, inventory, and machine health from your phone or a secure portal instead of driving to the site.
- All-weather cabinet — double-walled insulated storage, stainless money plate, bright LED lighting, and an optional cold-weather heater package for northern winters.
- Two products, one pad — add the water-vending option and sell purified water by the gallon alongside bagged ice.
About Kooler Ice
Kooler Ice, Inc. is a US manufacturer based in Byron, Georgia, building ice and water vending machines since 2007, with more than 1,600 machines produced and a 7-day-a-week service hotline behind them. The company’s machines are known for compact footprints and simple, low-labor operation compared with older bulk ice houses. Full manufacturer documentation is available on the official Kooler Ice IM600XL page, and the filtration hardware carries NSF/ANSI 58 certification.
Where the IM600XL Earns
An IM600XL ice vending machine performs best where people already stop for fuel, food, or recreation: gas stations and convenience stores, car washes, campgrounds and RV parks, marinas and boat ramps, bait shops, beach access points, and busy rural crossroads without a nearby grocery. Its ~18 sq ft footprint fits against a wall or as a freestanding pad-mounted unit, so it can occupy dead space that produces nothing today.
Operators typically price 10 lb bags at levels competitive with local convenience stores while keeping most of the margin, since there is no delivery contract or middleman; with 80–100 bags of daily capacity, the machine has headroom for genuine summer-peak traffic. Plan for a concrete pad, a 220V/60A single-phase circuit, and a 3/4″ water connection when scouting locations.
