Ice-O-Matic MFI1506R49 21" Remote-Cooled Flake Ice Machine Head, 1,375 lb/24 hr, R449A, 208-230V
Description
A 21" remote-cooled flake ice machine head that makes flake ice on top of a bin or dispenser.
The Ice-O-Matic MFI1506R49 is a 21" remote-cooled modular flake ice machine head that makes flake ice. It is rated at 1,375 lb per 24 hours at 70°F air / 50°F water, or 1,018 lb at 90°F air / 70°F water. It runs on R449A refrigerant and connects to a 208-230/60/1 circuit with a 25 A maximum breaker. It ships as the head only: the storage bin or dispenser is sold separately.

Flake ice
Ice-O-Matic rates flake ice best for preservation and presentation.
Gearbox load monitor
The load monitoring system checks gearbox workload and shuts the system down before a problem develops.
Water sensor
A water sensor prevents low or no water failures and works in adverse water conditions.
Rugged drivetrain
A stainless steel evaporator, maintenance-free double roller bearings and a heavy-duty gearbox.
Automatic shutoff
Built-in, non-contact ice detection gives a fail-safe automatic shutoff.
Remote condenser
Pairs with the RC106G49 remote condenser and RL49-25, RL49-40, and RL49-75 precharged line sets.

Questions buyers ask
Does it come with a bin?
No. The MFI1506R49 ships as the head only. Ice-O-Matic suggests these bin combinations: B40 with the KBT19 kit; B42 with the KBT24 kit; B55 with the KBT19 kit; B110 with the KBT23C kit.
How much ice does it make per day?
1,375 lb per 24 hours at 70°F air / 50°F water and 1,018 lb at 90°F air / 70°F water. Hotter rooms and warmer water lower output.
What electrical service does it need?
A 208-230/60/1 supply. The sheet lists a minimum circuit ampacity of 16.3 A and a maximum breaker of 25 A.
What water and drain hookups does it need?
A 3/8" FPT potable water inlet and a 3/4" FPT drain. Potable water use is 12 gal per 100 lb of ice at 90°F air / 70°F water. Water pressure must be 20 to 80 psi.
What else does a remote-cooled model need?
The RC106G49 remote condenser and an RL49-25, RL49-40 or RL49-75 precharged line set, sold separately.
What warranty does Ice-O-Matic give?
3 years parts and labor on the ice maker, 5 years parts on the compressor.
Which water filter fits?
Ice-O-Matic pairs it with the IFQ1-FM manifold system, which takes the IOMQ-FM replacement filter.
