Manitowoc RFK1300AZ 1301 lb Modular Flake Ice Machine Head, Air-Cooled, 220-240V 50 Hz Export

The Manitowoc RFK1300AZ is the 220-240V, 50 Hz export build of Manitowoc's modular flake ice machine head, made for international operations that merchandise and preserve product on ice, from seafood displays and salad bars to cold therapy in healthcare. It produces up to 1301 lb of flake ice per 24 hours at 50°F air and 45°F water and 1124 lb at 70°F air and 60°F water, so a hotel cold buffet or market fish counter can rebuild its displays through the day instead of dressing them once each morning. It is built for 220-240V, 50 Hz single-phase supplies, so it is the wrong pick for North American 115V, 60 Hz kitchens, where the RFP series belongs; it is also a head only, so plan on a Manitowoc D-570 series storage bin below it, and the RFK0620 models cover lighter duty from a narrower 22 in. cabinet if this much daily ice is more than the operation will use. Installation takes a dedicated 50 Hz circuit fused at up to 16 amps, a 3/8 in. cold water line, drains for the head and bin, and 8 in. of clearance at the top and sides with 5 in. at the back.

220-240V, 50 Hz Single-Phase Export Electrical Build

The machine is specified for 220-240V, 50 Hz, single-phase power, the supply standard across most markets outside North America, with average power consumption of 1,400 W and a maximum fuse size of 16 amps; HACR-type circuit breakers can be used in place of fuses. That keeps the electrical hookup a routine job for a local installer instead of a transformer project.

Flake Ice That Forms Around Product Without Bruising

Flake ice is small, hard bits of ice suited to presentation work. It molds around whatever you set in it without bruising delicate product, and it holds bottles and merchandised items in place without tipping or spilling, which is why it is the standard choice for food display, salad bars, and cold therapy use in healthcare settings.

High-Load Maintenance-Free Bearing With Service-Friendly Updates

A flake machine makes ice continuously rather than in batches, so bearing wear is the mechanical failure a buyer should ask about. Manitowoc fits a high-load, maintenance-free bearing for enhanced reliability, and service updates to this generation facilitate installation and make routine cleaning easier, so upkeep stays a quick task rather than a scheduled teardown.

R452A Refrigerant in a Self-Contained Refrigeration System

The refrigeration system is fully self-contained and runs on R452A refrigerant, with an air-cooled condenser rejecting 14,000 BTU/hr average (air) of heat into the room. The machine holds spec across a 50°F to 110°F ambient range and 37°F to 90°F incoming water, and draws 4.54 kWh per 100 lb of ice at the 90°F air rating point.

Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Cabinet Sized for Manitowoc Storage Bins

The heavy-duty stainless steel cabinet resists corrosion and measures 30.00 in. wide by 23.62 in. deep by 27.40 in. tall; on a D-570 series bin the combination stands 77.40 in. tall with 430 lb of ice storage below. Air enters at the side and exhausts out the back and side, with 8 in. of clearance required at the top and sides and 5 in. at the back, and the K-00470 adapter for the 48 in. D-970 bin covers wider storage layouts.
