Ice-O-Matic HEM0956R49 21" Remote-Cooled Quartz Nugget Ice Machine Head, 740 lb/24 hr, R449A, 208-230V
Description
Up to 740 lb a day of harder, slow-melting Quartz nugget ice from a 21" head.
The Ice-O-Matic HEM0956R49 is a 21" wide Quartz nugget ice machine head for bars, restaurants, healthcare and drink stations. It makes up to 740 lb of ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and 618 lb at 90°F air and 70°F water. It is remote-cooled: the condenser goes outside, so heat and fan noise stay out of the room. Ice-O-Matic pairs it with the RC106G49 remote condenser and a line set. The bin is sold separately.

Harder Quartz nugget
Ice-O-Matic's new, harder Quartz nugget, 3/4" x 1/2" x 1/2", dispenses better and melts more slowly.
740 lb per day
740 lb per 24 hours at 70°F air / 50°F water; 618 lb at 90°F air / 70°F water. Energy use is 3.63 kWh per 100 lb at 70/50 and 4.5 kWh at 90/70.
Gearbox load monitoring
The load monitoring system checks the gearbox workload and shuts the machine down before a problem develops. The gearbox runs on maintenance-free double roller bearings.
Water sensor protection
A water sensor prevents low or no water failures and works in adverse water conditions. Built-in non-contact ice detection gives a fail-safe automatic shutoff.
R449A refrigerant
Ice-O-Matic uses R449A, which it calls a future-proof refrigerant.
Remote condenser system
The RC106G49 remote condenser mounts outside and connects with Ice-O-Matic's precharged RL49 line sets; quick connects on the head are 1/2" discharge and 3/8" liquid.
