It produces up to 398 lb of flake ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, keeps a 50 lb working reserve in the bin below, and still fits under standard counter heights at 39.52 in. tall, so a produce department or seafood counter gets serious flake volume without giving the machine its own room. Its flake carries a 73 percent ice-to-water ratio, so it forms around objects without bruising them and holds in place without tipping or spilling, which is exactly what a display bed asks of its ice. If your volume is lighter, the narrower UFP0200A covers up to 257 lb per day from a 19.69 in. footprint, and beverage-led operations are better served by a nugget machine. Plan on a standard 115V circuit, a 3\/8 in. water line, and a drain; the machine ships pre-wired with a 6 ft cord and NEMA 5-15P plug and needs only 2 in. of side clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlake Ice Maker and 50 lb Storage Bin in One 29.06 In. Wide Cabinet\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet measures 29.06 in. wide by 27.17 in. deep by 39.52 in. tall on 6 in. bin legs that adjust from 4.50 in. to 6.00 in., so you can level the machine on a real kitchen floor and still slide it under a standard counter. Ice maker and bin share one stainless steel housing, which spares you the job of matching a separate head to a separate bin, and the sheet rates application capacity at 60 lb with 40 lb under the 2017 AHRI measurement and 2.04 cu ft of bin volume under the 2018 AHRI standard. The easy-access door slides up and out of the way, so staff can work the included ice scoop with one hand while the other steadies a pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSmall Hard Flake Ice for Food Display, Salad Bars, and Cold Therapy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlake ice is small hard bits of ice ideally suited to presentation applications, and Manitowoc points this machine squarely at food display, salad bars, and cold therapy and healthcare work. The 73 percent ice-to-water ratio is the working difference: softer ice bruises delicate product and slumps as it melts, while this flake packs around whole fish, bottles, and produce and stays where it was set. A supply that lives at the point of use means the case gets rebedded at open and topped through the day without anyone hauling ice from the back of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHigh-Load Maintenance-Free Bearings and R290 Refrigerant\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlake machines run long duty cycles, so Manitowoc fits high-load maintenance-free bearings for enhanced reliability rather than bearings that go on a lubrication schedule. The refrigeration side pairs a 3\/4 HP compressor with R290 refrigerant, which Manitowoc notes is environmentally friendly with less ozone depletion compared to R404. Efficiency comes in at 5.27 kWh and 12 gal of potable water per 100 lb of ice at the 90°F air and 70°F water rating point, numbers that matter when a machine runs around the clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront-to-Back Airflow with 2 In. Side Clearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe air-cooled, self-contained condenser pulls air in at the front of the cabinet and discharges it out the back with no side vents, so the sides need just 2 in. of clearance while the back needs 8 in. Operating limits run from 50°F to 110°F ambient and 37°F to 90°F incoming water, with 14 psi to 80 psi supply pressure, so the machine holds spec in a warm back-of-house corner as well as an air-conditioned service area. Total ampacity is 7.5 amps on a 115\/60\/1 circuit 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":52748522717469,"sku":"UFP0350A","price":5250.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/80559_UFP0350A.jpg?v=1786369507","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/manitowoc-ufp0350a-398-lb-flake-ice-machine-with-50-lb-storage-bin-air-cooled-r290-refrigerant","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
