Wide, Bite-Size Chewable Nuggets","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Manitowoc RNP0320A is the entry point to the RNP modular nugget line, sized for cafes, fountain counters, and clinics that want chewable nugget ice on tap without committing to a high-volume ice program. It produces up to 308 lb of bite-size nugget ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water and still turns out 236 lb when the room hits 90°F, enough to keep a single beverage dispenser or smoothie station supplied from open to close, and a 9 in. discharge tube for dispenser applications ships standard in the box. This is a machine head only, so budget for a D-420 storage bin or a Multiplex dispenser beneath it; operations that ice every cup all day long are better matched to the RNP0620A, which makes nearly twice the ice from the same 22 in. wide cabinet. Installation calls for a 115V, 60 Hz circuit protected at 15 amps, a 3\/8 in. water line, a 1\/2 in. drain, and 8 in. of clearance at the top and sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBite-Size Nuggets with an 85% Ice-to-Water Ratio\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNugget ice from the RNP0320A comes out in soft, chewable pieces averaging 3\/8 in. to 1\/2 in. in width and length. Its 85 percent ice-to-water ratio is one of the best in the category, so drinks get maximum cooling effect with minimal dilution, and the soft texture dispenses cleanly through beverage equipment. That combination is why nugget machines anchor soda fountains, smoothie programs, and cold-therapy service in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRated Output at 70°F and 90°F Test Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eManitowoc publishes production at both standard rating points: 308 lb of nugget ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and 236 lb at 90°F air and 70°F water. Plan around the second number, because it reflects a working kitchen in warm weather. At that hotter rating the machine uses 6.88 kWh of power and 12 gal of potable water per 100 lb of ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHigh-Load Maintenance-Free Bearings for Enhanced Reliability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ice-making drive rides on high-load, maintenance-free bearings, reinforcing the wear point that works hardest in a machine that produces ice around the clock. A 3\/4 HP compressor runs a R290 refrigeration circuit, and R290 is the environmentally friendlier choice, with less ozone depletion than the R404 refrigerant it replaces. Operating limits span 50°F to 110°F ambient and 37°F to 90°F incoming water, with inlet pressure between 14 and 80 psi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eModular Head for D-Style Bins and Multiplex Dispensers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RNP0320A is a machine head only: it makes ice but stores none. Set it on a D-420 storage bin and the stack stands 76.00 in. tall on 6 in. bin legs while holding 310 lb of nugget reserve, or mount it on a Multiplex beverage dispenser for direct soft-drink service. A K00472 adapter lets the 22 in. head sit on 30 in. D-style bins. When dispensing, verify with the dispenser manufacturer that the correct agitator and deflector kit for nugget ice is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e8 In. Top and Side Clearances with Rear-Intake Airflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eManitowoc calls for 8 in. of clearance at the top and sides and 5 in. at the back, with cooling air entering at the rear and exhausting out the sides, so the head holds its rating inside an equipment lineup. Minimum circuit ampacity is 7.5 amps with a 15 amp maximum fuse, and HACR-type circuit breakers can be used in place of fuses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manitowoc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52748576620829,"sku":"RNP0320A","price":4681.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/80844_RNP0320A.png?v=1786372371","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/manitowoc-rnp0320a-308-lb-modular-nugget-ice-machine-head-air-cooled-22-in-wide-bite-size-chewable-nuggets","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
