Manitowoc IDP1000W 985 lb Indigo NXT Modular Ice Machine Head, Water-Cooled, Full-Dice Cubes, 30 In. Wide

The Manitowoc IDP1000W is the highest-production head in this run of the Indigo NXT 30 in. wide modular line, a water-cooled full-dice ice machine head built for operations that empty large bins every single day, hot equipment room or not. It produces up to 985 lb of dice ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water (883 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 D400 or D570 storage bin instead of accepting a fixed cabinet reserve. It also runs more efficiently than its air-cooled twin, drawing 3.6 kWh per 100 lb of ice versus 4.65, in exchange for 120 gal of condenser water per 100 lb of ice. If cooling water is not practical in your building, the sibling IDP1000A makes nearly the same daily ice air-cooled, and the IDP0800W suits operations a step below this volume. Plan on a 208-230V single-phase circuit with a three-phase version available, separate ice-making and condenser water lines, a 3/4 in. bin drain, and 8 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 15.9 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 13,980 average, 16,030 peak BTU per hour while the machine holds spec from 35°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.
