Introducing The Everest Summit with Versavend

OUR PATENTED,
ONE MOVING PART DISPENSING SYSTEM

Over 20,000,000 vends and counting…

Everest patented this system, VersaVend, in 2008. It is an ice storage and dispensing system that is exclusive to Everest Ice and Water Systems.

Most ice vending machines break down because of ice jams due to the multiple moving parts that they use to move ice within the machine. The Everest Summit Series has dispensed over 20 million vends WITHOUT A SINGLE JAM and counting, because it has only one moving part. This simple, revolutionary, patented system is exclusive to Everest. The Everest Summit is the only commercial ice vending machine for sale in the industry to have ONE moving part. ONE. Since there is only ONE moving part, there is a LOT less to fail.

Everest. Ice Vending that’s simple. Easy. Revolutionary.

Water Vending
Comes Standard

To buy an ice vending machine without water vending would be like throwing money away. Why filter water but not sell it? Water Vending allows you to have TWO revenue streams. And we include it for FREE! And we include it, on every Everest machine.

What other companies charge you for,
Everest includes for free. On every machine.

Five Stage Ultra
Standard feature

The Summit Series of machines do not use expensive and complicated Reverse Osmosis (R/O) that require holding tanks, robust drain systems, costly membrane filters, and waste water in order to make water. We use a Five Stage Filtration System from Everpure, one of the most recognized brands among food service operators. This is the same system that was developed for McDonald’sTM to ensure their soda and coffee taste consistently great all over the world, no matter the water chemistry.

Ice Maker

Protected Ice Maker

At Everest, we protect your investment. We know that your ice maker is the most expensive component in your machine, so we protect it inside our locked, steel cabinet, where it can be protected from theft, vandalism and from the elements. Other companies leave it exposed on the roof, protected by a thin piece of canvas.

With a variety of features and upgrades designed to ensure your unit is always easy to service, Scotsman Prodigy Elite® technology helps operators save valuable time and resources. Scotsman designed Prodigy Elite® technology with the operator in mind. That’s why every easy-to-use feature we offer helps you get the most out of your unit. From convenient cleaning and a small operational footprint to enhanced energy efficiency, Prodigy Elite® is the smartest solution for today’s ice vending operators.

With its state-of-the-art ice maker technology, operators can connect to their ice makers through the ICELINQ app via Bluetooth, accessing real-time diagnostics and performance monitoring without even opening the machine. This innovative feature enhances efficiency and ease of ownership and allows operators to check for and address any ice maker issues promptly. 

Everest's Protected Ice Maker

Our machine is delivered in one piece, with the machine’s ice maker protected inside. When your ice maker is hidden under a canopy, that means it is unprotected and will be shipped separately. This is bad engineering and keeps your most valuable asset unprotected. In order to install your ice maker, this will have to happen at the location with a lift and other machines to the ice maker placed. With Everest, you do not have to worry about any of that as your machine comes protected and ready to start making you a profit.
