Omcan 48771 14 In. Nugget Ice Machine and Water Dispenser, 220 Lb Daily Output, Touch, Button, or Sensor Dispensing

This Omcan nugget ice machine and water dispenser makes soft, chewable nugget ice and serves it through a dispenser just 13.8 inches wide. It produces up to 220 pounds of nugget ice per 24 hours on a 115 volt circuit, dispensing ice, water, or ice and water through a dispensing area 9.68 inches tall, and it is meant for kitchen areas in shops, offices and other workplaces, hotels, restaurants and farms rather than home use. Plan the installation before it arrives: it needs a potable water supply, a drain, either a rear drain pipe or the bottom water pan, and an indoor spot between 45 and 104°F; its rated figures assume 80°F and 55 percent humidity. Know the storage math too, because the internal bin holds 6.2 pounds; the machine stops when the bin reads full and starts again once the ice level drops below 80 percent, so it refills as people draw ice rather than stockpiling a bag's worth for a rush.

Soft Nugget Ice People Chew

Water freezes on the inner wall of the evaporator cylinder, where a reducer-driven ice drill cuts it and a spiral ice blade carries it out, producing the soft, chewable nugget ice that drink stations serve into cups.

Three Ways to Dispense, No Scoop Involved

Dispensing runs from a 4.3 inch color touchscreen with mechanical buttons on either side, and an infrared sensor option pours when a cup is placed under the spout and stops when it is removed. Cup size settings for small, medium, and large standardize the pour, and the dispensed quantity per cup can be adjusted. Choose ice, water, or ice and water together. A manual button dispenses ice for as long as it is touched, and a one-click mode runs the bin down continuously until you cancel it.

Sanitation Engineered into the Ice Path

The refrigeration system is sealed to keep outside contamination away from the ice path, and the machine runs a built-in automatic cleaning cycle backed by a UV sterilization LED. A dedicated injection port takes descaling and disinfecting solution for the automatic cycle, and the air filter, water pan, and dispensing spouts all remove for washing. The condenser calls for a brushing every three weeks and the filter screen every two.

R290 Refrigeration on a NEMA 5-15P Plug

The air-cooled system runs on R290 refrigerant, pulling 493 watts and 5.4 amps on a 115 volt, 60 Hz circuit with a NEMA 5-15P plug on an external power cord, with a rocker power switch at the back. The front panel is 304 stainless steel. Air moves through grilles on the back and side, so leave 30 cm in front, 4 cm behind, and 30 cm above the machine for ventilation.

A Footprint That Fits Where People Gather

At 13.8 inches wide, 23.62 inches deep, and 32.67 inches tall, the machine sits on a countertop on adjustable legs, and it weighs 102 pounds. Dual drainage, a rear drain pipe or the bottom water pan, gives your installer two routes to the floor drain. A 3/4 inch inlet water pipe and a drain pipe come with the machine; a water filter does not, and the supply must be potable water at 19 to 80 psi and 41 to 95°F.
