Manitowoc RFF1220C 1092 lb QuietQube Remote Flake Ice Machine Head, 22 in. Wide, Condensing Unit Sold Separately

The Manitowoc RFF1220C is the 22 in. wide QuietQube remote flake ice machine head, built for buffets, seafood counters, and display-heavy operations that want a half ton or more of daily flake ice without compressor noise in the room. It produces up to 1,092 lb of flake ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water and holds 958 lb at the 90°F/70°F rating point, at 3.98 kWh and 12 gal of potable water per 100 lb of ice, so morning display builds and daytime top-offs draw from one narrow head. This is a head only: the RCUF-1200 condensing unit, interconnecting refrigerant lines, and storage bin are ordered separately, and operations without a practical path for refrigerant lines are better served by a self-contained flake machine such as the RFF1300A. The head itself needs a 208-230V single phase circuit at just 1.4 amps minimum circuit ampacity, with the condensing unit on its own 208-230V single phase supply, plus a 3/8 in. water inlet and a 1/2 in. drain.

Small Hard Flake Ice for Presentation Applications

Flake ice is small hard bits of ice ideally suited for presentation applications, where the ice bed is part of the display itself. The evaporator is designed for maximum ice quality and operating life, producing flake continuously rather than in batch harvests, and the stainless steel exterior keeps a clean, modern look in any self-serve environment.

Rated Output at 70°F and 90°F Rating Points

Manitowoc publishes output at both industry rating points: 1,092 lb per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and 958 lb in the harsher 90°F air and 70°F water condition, so you can size the system on your actual equipment room. The head holds spec across a 50°F to 110°F ambient range and 37°F to 90°F incoming water, with ice-making water pressure between 14 and 80 psi.

QuietQube Remote System with Condensing Unit Sold Separately

The QuietQube system splits refrigeration away from the ice-making head: the remote condensing unit, interconnecting refrigerant lines, head section, and ice storage unit are all ordered separately, and the design is a Manitowoc system around the RCUF condensing unit, not for use with any other ice machine or remote condenser brand. Moving the condenser indoors or outdoors away from the machine improves efficiency and ice production, lowers the air conditioning load at the machine, and eliminates most refrigeration noise for a quieter room. The lighter head weight also simplifies installation, and the head and condensing unit are powered independently of each other.

Refrigerant Line Runs to 100 Ft with a 35 Ft Rise Limit

The RCUF-1200 condensing unit runs on 208-230V, 60 Hz single phase service, rejects 7,680 BTU per hour on average with a 1-1/2 HP nominal compressor, and operates from -20°F to 120°F, so it can sit outdoors through winter and summer. Refrigerant lines can run up to 100 ft, rise up to 35 ft above the head, or drop 15 ft below it; a rise over 20 ft requires the S-Trap Kit K-00172, ordered separately, and the standard RC-51 line set covers 20 ft.

Stainless Steel Head with Adapters for Manitowoc Bins

At 186 lb shipping weight and 22.00 in. wide by 23.60 in. deep by 26.00 in. tall, the head mounts on a wide range of separately purchased Manitowoc bins: adapter K-00443 fits the D-570, K-00444 the D-970, K-302200 the F-700, and K-00421 with K-603030 or K-613030 fits the F-1325 and FC-1350. HACR-type circuit breakers can be used in place of fuses on both circuits.
