Wide, Water-Cooled, Dice Cubes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Manitowoc IDT1500W is the water-cooled build of the Indigo NXT 48 in. head, made for high-volume hotels, hospitals, and banquet kitchens where an air-cooled condenser would be fighting a hot ice room all day. It produces up to 1,615 lb of dice ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water and, because heat leaves through the building water loop, holds 1,390 lb at 90°F air while drawing just 3.63 kWh per 100 lb of ice; three-phase service raises output to 1,744 lb. The condenser loop consumes 140 gal of water per 100 lb of ice on top of 20 gal of potable water, so this model belongs where water is cheap or a cooling loop already exists, and the air-cooled IDT1500A skips that plumbing at a modest energy premium. It is a head only, sized to the 48 in. D-970 storage bin sold separately. Plan the install around a 208-230V single-phase circuit with three-phase optional, separate 3\/8 in. FPT ice-making and condenser water inlets, 1\/2 in. 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\u003eEasy-Access Front Door with Removable Water-Path Components\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCleaning happens through an easy-access front door panel rather than a service 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 virus and bacteria 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, moving 23,000 BTU\/hr of average heat rejection (27,000 BTU\/hr at peak) on a 208-230V connection with minimum circuit ampacity of 17 amps at 1 phase, 12.0 amps at 3 phase. Keep the listed clearance open and the system holds rated production day after day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manitowoc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52655847276829,"sku":"IDT1500W","price":9410.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/80685_IDT1500W_19af482c-2c28-40a0-9ea9-7a3233784d0c.png?v=1785340206","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/manitowoc-idt1500w-1615-lb-indigo-nxt-modular-ice-machine-head-48-in-wide-water-cooled-dice-cubes","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
