Product Description
The Follett Champion 15 is a countertop ice dispenser designed for self-serve environments where a consistent, hygienic supply of ice is needed throughout the day. It produces and dispenses nugget-style ice, storing it internally and delivering it on demand via a touchscreen panel on the front fascia. This model includes an integrated Claris water filtration unit, which treats incoming water before it enters the ice-making circuit — a meaningful step towards better-tasting ice and reduced limescale build-up over time.
In service, the Champion 15 is well suited to moderate-volume applications — think hotel beverage stations, staff refreshment points, healthcare ward pantries, or café self-serve counters. It is not designed to cover high-throughput bar or banqueting operations; at those volumes, a higher-capacity dispenser would be the more appropriate choice. For quieter or intermittent-use settings, the output is more than sufficient to keep pace with demand without excessive cycling.
A few operational features make this unit genuinely practical to run:
- Drainless design removes the need for a floor drain connection at the installation point
- Internal UV light and Agion antimicrobial protection help maintain ice hygiene between cleans
- Clean Light technology gives visible indication when a sanitisation cycle is due
- Touchscreen interface includes self-help diagnostics, reducing dependency on engineer call-outs for minor issues
- Integrated Claris filter addresses water quality at source, protecting the ice-making mechanism
On the installation side, the drainless operation is a genuine advantage — it opens up locations that would otherwise require drainage infrastructure. The unit does still require a mains cold water connection and a suitable electrical supply. At 43kg it can be positioned on a robust counter without specialist lifting equipment, though the working surface will need to be rated for the load. It uses R290 refrigerant, which has a very low global warming potential and is increasingly preferred where environmental compliance is a consideration.
This model is a sensible fit for hospitality operators, healthcare facilities, and office or workplace environments where staff or guests need reliable access to ice without attendant service. If your site has higher daily demand or needs to supply multiple points simultaneously, it is worth discussing whether a larger-capacity unit would serve you better.
If you are unsure whether the Champion 15 is the right match for your setup, our team is happy to talk through your requirements before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
- At 45.4kg output per 24 hours, the Champion 15 is well suited to moderate self-serve applications such as hotel beverage stations, healthcare pantries, or workplace refreshment points. For high-throughput bar environments or banqueting operations where demand is concentrated and volume is high, a larger-capacity dispenser would generally be the more reliable choice — it is worth discussing your peak service requirements before deciding.
- A drainless dispenser retains meltwater internally rather than routing it to a floor or wall drain, which means you do not need drainage infrastructure at the point of installation. This makes it considerably easier to position in areas such as serveries, ward pantries, or office kitchens where installing a drain would be disruptive or costly. You will still need a mains cold water supply connection and a suitable electrical supply at the location.
- The integrated Claris filter treats incoming water before it reaches the ice-making mechanism, which helps reduce mineral deposits and can extend the service intervals for the internal components. Filter cartridges will need replacing periodically depending on your local water hardness and usage volume — your water supplier or a service engineer can advise on the appropriate replacement schedule for your site.
