Daily ice care that keeps the venue ready.

Resurfacing and maintenance equipment should match the rink's size, traffic, ice standard and operator workflow. IRM helps define the package before purchase.

OPERATING EQUIPMENT

Daily resurfacing affects the ice customers see.

The ice will change with traffic, water quality, blade condition and the number of sessions. The daily routine has to account for those factors.

We consider ice resurfacer size, water system, blade and conditioner requirements, edging, storage, charging or refuelling, operator access and spare parts. The equipment schedule is built around the number of sessions and the people who will run them.
