It produces up to 510 lb of dice ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water and holds 445 lb at the 90°F\/70°F rating point, so a dinner-house bar and wait stations can scoop steadily from a D-400 or D-570 bin all evening while the machine rebuilds the reserve overnight. This is a head section only: the required JCF0500 remote condenser, tubing kit, and storage bin are all sold separately, and it is not the pick for noise-critical front-of-house installs; the QuietQube IDF1400C moves most refrigeration noise out of the room entirely and roughly doubles the output. Plan on a single 115V circuit sized to 14.8 amps minimum ampacity, a 3\/8 in. water line, a 1\/2 in. drain, and 12 in. of top and side clearance for the front-breathing head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRemote Refrigeration with the Condensing Unit Sold Separately\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeat rejection moves to the required JCF0500 remote condenser, sold separately, so the compressor's load leaves the kitchen instead of fighting your HVAC above the ice machine. Standard remote tubing kits RT20R404, RT35R404, and RT50R404 cover runs of 20 ft, 35 ft, and 50 ft, and the remote side keeps operating from -20°F to 120°F ambient, so a rooftop condenser holds spec through summer heat and winter cold. The head itself runs on R-404A refrigerant and rejects just 3,800 BTU\/hr average into the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e7\/8 In. Dice Cubes from a 30 In. Wide Head\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe IDF0500N produces standard dice cubes measuring 7\/8 in. on each side, the slow-melting shape that packs tight in glassware and holds up in food display. The head measures 30.00 in. wide by 24.00 in. deep by 21.50 in. tall and sets on a separately sold storage bin such as the D-400, which stores 365 lb, or the D-570, which stores 532 lb, so you can size the reserve to your service pattern without changing the machine above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTouch Screen Display with Programmable Ice Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe easyTouch display puts an icon-based touch screen on the front of the head, so staff run the machine without a manual in hand. Programmable ice production lets you shut the machine down during expensive electrical rate windows, cap daily production volume, or run a night program, and intelligent diagnostics provide 24 hour preventative maintenance and diagnostic feedback so a service call starts with answers instead of guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAcoustical Ice Sensing Probe with Active Sense Software\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eManitowoc's patented acoustical ice sensing probe reads the ice bridge reliably in challenging water conditions and environments, and Active Sense software works with the probe to keep every harvest consistent as conditions swing. That matters in a remote installation, where the head indoors and the condensing outdoors see different temperatures across the seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDuraTech Exterior with an Easy to Clean Foodzone\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DuraTech exterior provides corrosion resistance above stainless steel, with an innovative clear-coat that shrugs off fingerprints and dirt so the front-of-house side stays presentable between wipe-downs. The foodzone opens through a hung door, and the water trough, distribution tube, splash guard, water probe, and water pump all remove for fast, efficient cleaning; selected components are made with AlphaSan antimicrobial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccessory Options from LuminIce II to Automated Cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour factory accessories extend the platform: the LuminIce II virus and bacteria inhibitor controls viruses, bacteria, mold, and yeast within the food zone; iAuCS schedules and performs routine ice machine cleaning automatically; Arctic Pure Plus water filters reduce sediment and chlorine contaminants down to 0.5 microns; and an external holder keeps the ice scoop protected at the bin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manitowoc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52655855173917,"sku":"IDF0500N","price":4351.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/80836_IDF0500N_660528b6-f100-423a-a56a-1bb00db6bc3e.jpg?v=1785340459","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/manitowoc-idf0500n-510-lb-indigo-nxt-remote-dice-ice-machine-head-easytouch-display-requires-jcf0500-remote-condenser","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
