Manitowoc IDP0420W 442 lb Indigo NXT Modular Ice Machine Head, Water-Cooled, Full-Dice Cubes, 22 In. Wide

The Manitowoc IDP0420W is the water-cooled build of the narrow 22 in. wide Indigo NXT modular head, a full-dice ice machine head built for busy restaurants and hotel service areas working around narrow equipment alcoves. It produces up to 442 lb of dice ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water (369 lb at 90°F air and 70°F water), and because it is a machine head with no bin attached, you match it to a D320 or D420 storage bin instead of accepting a fixed cabinet reserve. Programmable production lets it build ice overnight on off-peak power, and it holds spec from 40°F to 110°F ambient. It runs leaner than its air-cooled twin at 5.06 kWh per 100 lb of ice versus 5.9, in exchange for 141.3 gal of condenser water per 100 lb, so budget the water bill against the power savings. The IDP0420A is the air-cooled version of this same machine, and the 30 in. wide IDP0450W offers similar output where floor width is not the constraint. Plan on a 115V/60/1 circuit, a 3/8 in. water line, a 3/4 in. bin drain, and 12 in. of top and side clearance; the storage bin is sold separately.

Icon-Based Touch Display with Programmable Ice Production Schedules

The icon-based easyTouch display takes the guesswork out of owning an ice machine: staff pick their language in the start-up wizard, follow on-screen icons for day-to-day operation, and get automatic reminder and alert icons instead of blinking fault codes. Production is programmable by time of day, by daily volume, or with an overnight shutoff, so the head can build its reserve when electric rates drop rather than fighting for power during the dinner rush. Bluetooth connectivity handles quick setup and serves up instant machine information on a paired device.

R290 Natural Refrigerant with Acoustical Ice Sensing and Active Sense

The refrigeration system runs on R290 with a 5.3 oz charge, a refrigerant-grade propane that occurs naturally, depletes no ozone, and carries extremely low global warming potential. The patented acoustical ice sensing probe works with Active Sense software to deliver consistent harvests even in challenging water conditions, and the water-cooled self-contained condenser rejects 8,800 average, 10,570 peak BTU per hour while the machine holds spec from 40°F to 110°F ambient and 40°F to 90°F incoming water.

Hinged Front Door and Removable Water-System Parts with AlphaSan Protection

Cleaning is where most ice machines lose their owners, so Manitowoc made the food zone come apart without tools: the front door swings open on a hinge, and the water trough, distribution tube, curtain, water probe, and water pump all lift out for fast, thorough cleaning at the sink instead of awkward in-place scrubbing. Select components carry AlphaSan antimicrobial protection to keep the food zone cleaner between those sessions.

DuraTech Exterior and 24-Hour Diagnostics for Long Service Life

The DuraTech exterior resists corrosion better than stainless steel, and its clear coat shrugs off the fingerprints and dirt that make busy-kitchen equipment look tired within a year. Behind the panels, 24-hour intelligent diagnostics monitor the machine continuously and surface preventative maintenance feedback on the display, so a service call happens on your schedule rather than during a Saturday rush.

LuminIce II, Water Filtration, and Automated Cleaning Accessories

The optional LuminIce II growth inhibitor controls viruses and bacteria inside the food zone and reports its status through an icon on the display. The iAuCS accessory schedules and performs routine descaling or sanitizing automatically, turning a dreaded quarterly chore into a background task, and Arctic Pure Pro water filters cut sediment and chlorine contaminants down to 0.5 microns when the prefilter and primary filter run together.
