The IYT-0500A air-cooled ice machine from the Indigo NXT™ Series is designed to meet the ice production needs of restaurants and convenience stores. With a width of 30", this Energy Star-rated ice machine can produce up to 550 lbs of half-dice ice daily while using 12% less energy compared to similar models. The durability and reliability of this Manitowoc Ice unit are ensured by its DuraTech exterior, which can withstand heavy use and tough environments. The acoustical ice-sensing probe checks the density of the ice cubes before dropping them into the bin, ensuring consistent quality. The active sense software adapts to environmental conditions to maintain a consistent batch of ice. The ice production volume is programmable, allowing you to produce the desired amount of ice based on demand. The machine can also be switched off during certain parts of the day to reduce electric expenses. The EasyTouch display simplifies the ice-making process by providing touch access to operational functions and sending cleaning reminders and service alerts. The automatic 24-hour preventative maintenance feature prevents surprise breakdowns during operation. The foodzone of this commercial ice machine is easily accessible from the front, with many parts removable for thorough cleaning. The AlphaSan coating protects exposed refrigeration parts from microbes, and the LuminIce II Growth Inhibitor (available separately) delays the growth of microorganisms, reducing the frequency of cleanings. The Manitowoc IYT-0500A is a certified ice machine head only unit with NSF, cULus, and CE certifications. It can be paired with accessories such as water filters and heat exchange systems to enhance the ice-making process. The air-cooled system of this ice machine lowers water expenses by transferring heat out of the machine using air. The condenser is conveniently packed inside the unit for plug-and-play operation. Smart and simple operation is ensured by preventative maintenance and routine self-diagnostic scans. The EasyTouch Display provides touch control for all ice-making tasks and displays operating status, cleaning alerts, and diagnostic feedback. This ice machine is environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. The acoustical ice-sensing technology ensures consistent ice density and thickness. The machine can be turned on and off as needed to lower electric bills, and the volume of ice production can be adjusted according to daily needs. The ENERGY STAR certification guarantees up to 15% more energy efficiency compared to other models. The machine cools using a CFC-free
