Wide, Water-Cooled, Dice Cubes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Manitowoc IDT0500W is the water-cooled version of the Indigo NXT higher-output 30 in. head, built for hot equipment rooms and buildings already running a condenser water loop. It produces up to 500 lb of dice ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water and keeps making 400 lb at 90°F air, drawing just 4.41 kWh per 100 lb of ice because the building water carries the condenser heat away instead of the compressor fighting a hot room. Its condenser loop is also the thriftiest of the family at 130 gal per 100 lb of ice, though that still belongs in the operating budget; the air-cooled IDT0500A trades a little efficiency to skip the loop entirely. It is a head only, sized to D-400 or D-570 storage bins sold separately. Plan the install around a 115V circuit with a 15 amp maximum fuse, separate 3\/8 in. FPT ice-making and condenser inlets, a 1\/2 in. condenser outlet and drains, and 8 in. of top and side clearance with 5 in. at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIcon-Based Touch Screen with Programmable Ice Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery function runs through the icon-based easyTouch display, so whoever closes the kitchen can read operating status, start a cleaning mode, or check an alert without hunting for a manual; the interface offers 13 language options and keeps a date and time stamp with automatic reminder and alert icons. Programmable ice production is the money feature: schedule the machine off during peak electrical rates, cap it by daily production volume, or shift the work to night programming so the bin is full before the morning crew clocks in. One touch calls up asset information, and the controller automatically detects accessories as you add them, so upgrades register without a service visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSwing-Out Front Door with Removable Water-Path Components\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCleaning happens through a hinged front door that swings out of the way rather than a panel you unscrew and set aside. The water trough, distribution tube, curtain, and sensing probes all remove from the food zone, so a deep clean is a fast, complete job instead of a reach-around compromise, and selected components are made with AlphaSan antimicrobial material that works between cleanings. An optional LuminIce II inhibitor controls viruses, bacteria, mold, and yeast inside the food zone, with a sanitation icon on the display reporting its operational status. For routine care you can go hands-off entirely: the iAuCS accessory schedules and performs cleaning cycles automatically, Arctic Pure water filters strip sediment and chlorine down to 0.5 microns ahead of the machine, and an external scoop holder keeps the scoop off the bin rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAcoustical Ice Sensing Probe with 24 Hour Intelligent Diagnostics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eManitowoc's patented acoustical ice sensing probe reads the harvest acoustically rather than by simple contact, which keeps cycles reliable in challenging water conditions that confuse conventional sensors. Active Sense software works in conjunction with that probe, adjusting so every harvest lands consistently as room temperature and water quality drift across the day, anywhere in the machine's 40°F to 110°F ambient and 40°F to 90°F water operating limits. Intelligent diagnostics watch the machine around the clock and surface preventative maintenance and diagnostic feedback right on the display, so a service tech arrives already knowing what the machine has reported instead of starting the diagnosis from zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDuraTech Clear-Coat Exterior with Corrosion Resistance Beyond Stainless Steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet wears Manitowoc's DuraTech exterior, a finish rated for corrosion resistance above stainless steel, with an innovative clear-coat that resists fingerprints and dirt so the machine stays presentable in an open sightline instead of polishing into your closing checklist. Unlike painted panels that chip at the corners, the clear-coated surface holds its look through years of cart traffic and scoop-in-hand contact. The refrigeration system runs R410A refrigerant, a CFC-free formulation that lowers global warming potential by 48 percent, and rejects 3 on a 115V connection with 10.8 amps at 115V of minimum circuit ampacity. Keep the listed clearance open and the self-contained system holds rated production without a remote condenser or added refrigerant lines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manitowoc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52655840755997,"sku":"IDT0500W","price":4771.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/80647_IDT0500W_93c9a0b8-a353-4426-acf2-c79b6978da47.png?v=1785340048","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/manitowoc-idt0500w-500-lb-indigo-nxt-modular-ice-machine-head-30-in-wide-water-cooled-dice-cubes","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
