    摘要: A modular ice delivery system (5) includes a beverage dispenser unit (70) for dispensing beverages therefrom and an ice delivery unit (10) linked with the beverage dispenser unit for supplying ice to the beverage dispenser unit. A docking pathway (12) formed between the ice delivery unit and the beverage dispenser unit is provided for operatively linking the ice delivery unit with the beverage dispenser unit. The modular ice delivery system may further include an ice capacity booster unit (50) linked with the ice delivery unit, ultimately, for supplying ice to the beverage dispenser unit. A docking pathway formed between the ice delivery unit and the ice capacity booster unit is also provided for linking the ice capacity booster unit and the ice delivery unit. In effect, each docking pathway enables the modular ice delivery system to be broken down into modular units commensurate with varying demand for ice. Additionally, the modular ice delivery system includes a sanitizing system (43-49) for ensuring the production and dispensing of sanitary ice from the modular ice delivery system.
