Manitowoc IDT1200C 1130 lb Indigo NXT QuietQube Modular Ice Machine Head, Remote CVD Condensing, Dice Cubes

The Manitowoc IDT1200C is the QuietQube head of the Indigo NXT 1200 class, the configuration for dining rooms, hotels, and healthcare floors where a self-contained ice machine would be heard: the compressor lives in the CVDT1200 remote condensing unit, sold separately, so the head runs on a 115V circuit drawing just 1.1 amps while the refrigeration noise and 16,200 BTU/hr of average heat rejection stay outside. It produces up to 1,130 lb of dice ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water and holds 930 lb at the 90°F rating point, with this CVD generation averaging 8 percent lower energy consumption and 10 percent more ice than its predecessor. The system is engineered as a matched Manitowoc pair and cannot be used with any other ice machine or condenser brand; kitchens without a practical route for refrigerant lines are better matched to the self-contained IDT1200A. Plan on pre-charged RC line kits in 20, 30, or 50 ft lengths within a 100 ft maximum run, a 35 ft maximum rise, a 3/8 in. FPT water inlet, a 1/2 in. drain, and 5 in. of clearance on all sides.

Icon-Based Touch Screen with Programmable Ice Production

Every 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.

Swing-Out Front Door with Removable Water-Path Components

Cleaning 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, water probe, water pump, and sensing components 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 and bacteria inside the food zone, with status indication on the display. For routine care you can go hands-off entirely: the iAuCS accessory schedules and performs cleaning cycles automatically, Arctic Pure Plus 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.

Acoustical Ice Sensing Probe with 24 Hour Intelligent Diagnostics

Manitowoc'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 conditions 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.

DuraTech Clear-Coat Exterior with Corrosion Resistance Beyond Stainless Steel

The 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 head stays presentable where guests can see it. The refrigeration split is what sets this machine apart: patented CVD Technology puts the compressor and condenser in the remote CVDT1200 unit, which runs on its own 208-230V circuit, operates from -20°F to 130°F, and connects through pre-charged RC line kits with a 100 ft maximum run, 35 ft of rise above the head, and 15 ft of drop below it, with the K-00172 S-trap kit required on rises over 20 ft. R410A refrigerant, a CFC-free formulation that lowers global warming potential by 48 percent, links the pair, and because head and condensing unit are wired independently, the 115V head circuit stays at 1.1 amps.
