Manitowoc RFF1300A 1264 lb Flake Ice Machine Head, Air-Cooled, 30 in. Wide, Stainless Steel

The Manitowoc RFF1300A is the air-cooled model of this two-model flake ice machine family, built for supermarkets, salad bars, and seafood or produce displays that re-bed product with soft flake ice every morning. It produces up to 1,264 lb of flake ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water and keeps 951 lb coming at the 90°F/70°F rating point, at 4.24 kWh and 12 gal of water per 100 lb of ice, enough to rebuild a full display case and keep salad bar pans topped off through the day. The head stores nothing on its own, so plan on a separately purchased D-570 or adapted B-style bin below it, and kitchens fighting a hot equipment room can hold more output at the 90°F rating with the water-cooled RFF1300W from the same cabinet instead. Installation needs a 208-230V single phase circuit at 15 amps minimum circuit ampacity, a 3/8 in. water inlet, a 1/2 in. drain, and 8 in. of top and side clearance with 5 in. at the back.

Small Hard Flake Ice for Food Display and Cold Therapy

Flake ice is small hard bits of ice ideally suited to presentation work: it forms around product without bruising and holds items in place without tipping or spilling. That behavior makes it the working standard for food displays, salad bars, and cold therapy and healthcare applications, where the ice bed itself is part of the service. This machine produces that flake continuously rather than in batch harvests.

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

Manitowoc publishes output at both industry rating points: 1,264 lb per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and 951 lb in the harsher 90°F air and 70°F water condition, so you can size the machine on your actual equipment room. Operating limits run 50°F to 110°F ambient and 37°F to 90°F incoming water, with ice-making water pressure between 14 and 80 psi.

10% Average Energy Improvement Over the Previous Model

Manitowoc rates this generation at energy improvements averaging 10% and ice production improvements averaging 5% over the previous model, and service updates facilitate installation and make cleaning easier. The air-cooled RFF1300A draws 4.24 kWh per 100 lb of ice at the 90°F/70°F rating point and uses 12 gal of potable water per 100 lb, with no condenser water circuit to plumb or pay for.

Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Cabinet with High-Load Bearings

The heavy-duty stainless steel cabinet resists corrosion, and high-load maintenance-free bearings carry the flake auger for enhanced reliability under continuous production. A 1.5 HP nominal compressor runs on R-404A refrigerant, and HACR-type circuit breakers can be used in place of fuses. The air-cooled condenser rejects 14,000 BTU per hour on average, drawing air in the side and discharging out the back and side, so the machine tolerates a lineup against a wall.

Modular Head for D-570 and 48 In. B-Style Bins

The head measures 30.00 in. wide by 23.62 in. deep by 27.40 in. tall and stores nothing itself; on a separately purchased D-570 bin the stack stands 77.40 in. tall with 430 lb of ice storage, with bin legs adjustable from 6.00 in. to 7.00 in. The K-00370 adapter mounts the head on 48 in. B-style bins, though it is not for use with large-capacity bins. Allow 8 in. of clearance at the top and sides and 5 in. at the back.
