The Ice-O-Matic Ice Machine is a water-cooled Pearl Ice Maker that has the capacity to produce up to 770 lbs of nugget cube ice in a 24-hour period. It requires 115 gallons of condenser cooling water, 12 gallons of potable water, and consumes 5.67 kWh of power. This particular model is designed for 115/60/1-ph power and draws 19.5 amps. Water-cooled ice machines are advantageous because they transfer heat from the condenser into water, rather than expelling it into the surrounding environment like air-cooled units. This makes them more cost-effective and efficient in warmer climates, where using air-cooled ice makers can increase the load on air conditioners. As long as water is easily accessible and affordable, a water-cooled unit is the optimal choice. The ice produced by this ice maker is known as Pearl Ice®, which is soft and chewable. Many consumers prefer this type of ice for its excellent cooling properties, and chewing on the nuggets can be particularly satisfying on hot days. Key Features: - Ice-O-Matic Water Cooled Ice Machines offer a wide range of cubers, flakers, and the patented Pearl Ice Machine, ensuring crystal-clear ice. - The compact design of this machine saves space, measuring 21" (533 mm) wide. - It has the capacity to produce up to 770 lbs (349 kg) of ice per day. - The stainless steel evaporator and auger guarantee durability. - Compared to cube ice makers, it consumes less water and power. - It cools beverages faster and maintains flavors for longer. - The industrial-grade roller bearings and heavy-duty gearbox ensure years of trouble-free operation. - The Water Sensor eliminates failures due to low or no water, and is not affected by adverse water conditions. - The SystemSafe load monitoring system constantly checks the workload on the gearbox, shutting down the system before any issues arise, thus preventing costly repairs.
