Manitowoc IRT0620A 525 lb Indigo NXT Regular Cube Modular Ice Machine Head, Air-Cooled, 22 in. Wide

The Manitowoc IRT0620A is the narrow one in the Indigo NXT regular cube lineup, a 22 in. wide air-cooled head for ice programs squeezed into equipment lines where the standard 30 in. machines will not fit. It produces up to 525 lb of regular cubes in 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water and holds 410 lb at the 90°F and 70°F rating, which is full-size output from a footprint that matches the slim D-420 storage bin below it. Power use runs 5.29 kWh per 100 lb of ice at the hot rating. The head stores no ice itself, so budget for the bin; operations with room for a 30 in. machine give up nothing by choosing the IRT0500A instead, and single-station scooping is still undercounter territory. Plan the install around a 115V circuit with a 20 amp maximum fuse, a 3/8 in. water line, a 1/2 in. drain, and a generous 12 in. of top and side clearance for airflow.

Regular Cubes Sized for Slow Melt in the Glass

This head produces Manitowoc's regular cube, a 1 1/8 in. x 1 1/8 in. x 7/8 in. block that melts slower than smaller dice in a glass, a display bed, or a banquet cooler, and packs cleanly for bagging. Production is rated at 525 lb per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water and 410 lb at 90°F air and 70°F water, so you can size the machine from the hot-kitchen number instead of the best-case number. The same Indigo NXT platform also builds dice and half dice cubes in sibling models, so the whole ice program can standardize on one control scheme.

EasyTouch Display With Programmable Ice Production

An icon-based easyTouch touchscreen on the front panel runs daily operation in any of 13 languages, with a date and time stamp, reminder and alert icons, one-touch asset information, and automatic detection of accessories. Programmable ice production lets you idle the machine during expensive daytime electric rates, cap output by daily volume, or schedule night production so the bin is full before the first shift arrives.

Acoustical Ice Sensing Probe With Intelligent Diagnostics

Manitowoc's patented acoustical ice sensing probe keeps harvests reliable in challenging water conditions and environments, and Active Sense software works with the probe to hold consistent harvests as conditions swing. Intelligent diagnostics run 24 hour preventative maintenance and diagnostic feedback in the background, so problems surface as alerts on the display before they become down days waiting on a service call.

DuraTech Exterior With an AlphaSan-Protected Food Zone

The DuraTech exterior pairs corrosion resistance beyond stainless steel with a clear-coat that resists fingerprints and dirt between wipe-downs. For cleaning, the hinged front door swings out and the removable water trough, distribution tube, curtain, and sensing probes come out for fast, thorough food zone work, with select components made from AlphaSan antimicrobial material. The optional LuminIce II inhibitor controls viruses, bacteria, mold, and yeast inside the food zone and reports its status through a sanitation icon on the display.

Modular Head Matched to Manitowoc Storage Bins

As a modular head, it sits on a Manitowoc storage bin sold separately: D-420 (383 lb); D-400 (365 lb) with K00443 adapter. Combined height runs 71.50 in. on D-420, 59.50 in. on D-400 with bin legs set at 6 in. Supporting accessories round out the program: Arctic Pure Plus filtration cuts sediment and chlorine contaminants down to .5 microns ahead of the machine, the iAuCS accessory schedules and performs routine cleanings automatically, and an external scoop holder keeps the scoop clean and off the bin floor.
