Manitowoc UDE0065A 57 lb NEO Undercounter Ice Machine, 31 lb Bin Storage, Air-Cooled, Dice Cubes

The Manitowoc UDE0065A is the smaller of the two NEO 65/80 undercounter ice machines, built for small-volume operations that need their own ice supply without giving up floor space to a modular machine and bin. It produces up to 57 lb of dice ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and the 31 lb insulated bin below the evaporator keeps a working reserve ready, so a bar or wait station can scoop through a full shift instead of running ice from the back of the house. It is right-sized for operations that scoop steadily rather than by the bucket; the sibling UDE0080A produces nearly double the daily ice from the same cabinet size, and a modular machine with a floor bin is the better format for high-volume beverage service. Plan on a standard 115V outlet, a 3/8 in. water line, and a drain; the flat right-angle plug and front-breathing airflow let it slide into tight spots a rear-vented cabinet cannot use.

Ice Maker and 31 lb Bin in One 19.69 In. Wide Cabinet

The cabinet measures 19.69 in. wide by 22.34 in. deep by 30 in. tall, and the legs adjust from 6.00 in. to 7.25 in. to level the machine and tuck it under a standard counter. Instead of coordinating a separate ice maker head and storage bin, you get both in one stainless steel cabinet with an easy-access door that slides up and out of the way, so a bartender can scoop one-handed in a narrow aisle. The dice cube measures 7/8 in. square, a shape that packs tight in glassware and melts slowly in beverage service.

Front Air Intake and Exhaust with No Minimum Clearance

Air comes in the left front and exits the right front, with no side vents, so the machine runs correctly even when it is boxed in by cabinetry or standing equipment on both sides. Manitowoc requires no minimum clearance on the top, sides, or back, though 5 in. is recommended where you can spare it. That is the difference between an undercounter machine you can actually install under a counter and one that needs breathing room the floor plan does not have.

Seamless Rotocast Bin Liner with AlphaSan Protection

The bin liner is one-piece rotocast polyethylene with no seams to trap meltwater or harbor buildup, surrounded by foamed-in-place CFC-free insulation that slows melt between pulls. AlphaSan antimicrobial protection is built into key internal components to extend the time between cleanings, and Manitowoc's patented cleaning and sanitizing technology shortens the routine when it is due. The proprietary vertical evaporator is the same design approach Manitowoc uses across its commercial line.

Slide-Out Air Filter and Up-Front Selector Switch

The reusable air filter slides out from the left front without tools, so whoever closes the kitchen can rinse it and keep the condenser clear of grease and lint rather than waiting for a service call. Ice, off, and clean operations run from a simple selector switch on the front of the machine; you never remove a panel for day-to-day operation. A 1/4 HP compressor and R-134A refrigerant system draw just 5.3 amps on a 115/60/1 circuit with a 6 ft cord and standard plug.
