The Manitowoc Ice IDT1500A/D970 Indigo NXT™ ice machine and bin combo produces as much as 1,320 pounds of ice in 24 hours in ideal conditions. If the ambient air is warmer than 70 degrees Fahrenheit and incoming water is warmer than 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the unit will produce less than its maximum amount. The operator can specify the desired daily production level using the easyTouch® controls. When making ice, water flows over the evaporator plate and freezes into full-size cubes. Then a probe checks the ice before it falls into the bin, ensuring it is the correct thickness.
This Manitowoc Ice IDT1500A/D970 ice maker and bin can store 882 pounds of ice, so it is great for large venues. Its polyurethane liner can be wiped clean, and its insulated door prevents ice from melting quickly. The door is angled for comfort and has built-in grips and latches that help staff scoop ice, and because the included ice scoop has a thumb and knuckle guard, ice is protected from cross-contamination. Antimicrobial protection helps prevent mold growth between cleanings, and when it's time to clean the ice machine head, the screen provides a reminder. The food zone can be accessed through the front, and several parts can be removed and cleaned separately.
