Description

A 30-inch-wide air-cooled ice machine head that makes up to 500 lb. of regular cubes a day and sits on a Manitowoc storage bin.

Manitowoc 30 in. ice machine head, earlier generation shown, front left view

The Manitowoc Ice IRT0500A-261 is an Indigo NXT iT0500 self-contained, air-cooled cube ice machine head. Manitowoc rates it at 500 lb. of regular ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and 386 lb. at 90°F air and 70°F water. It runs on 208-230/60/1 power with R410A refrigerant and an icon-based easyTouch display. The head is sold without a bin: Manitowoc pairs it with the D400 or D570 bin.

Order the storage bin separately, and measure doorways: the head alone is 30" wide and 24" deep.

500 lb. a day

Up to 500 lb. of regular cubes in 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and 386 lb. at 90°F air and 70°F water. Cube size is 1-1/8" x 1-1/8" x 7/8".

easyTouch display

An icon-based touch screen runs the machine. You can program ice production by time of day or by daily volume, for example to shut off overnight.

Easy-clean food zone

A hinged front door opens to the food zone. The water trough, distribution tube, curtain, water probe and pump come out for cleaning, and select parts use AlphaSan antimicrobial.

Steady harvest

An acoustical ice sensing probe helps keep harvests consistent in challenging water conditions, and 24-hour diagnostics flag maintenance needs.

DuraTech exterior

The DuraTech exterior resists corrosion better than stainless steel, per Manitowoc, with a clear coat that resists fingerprints and dirt.

Delivery and setup

  • Free shipping on this item. See our shipping policy for delivery details.
  • Inspect the crate for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
  • Install the head indoors and leave 12" at the top and sides and 5" at the back for airflow.
  • Have an electrician run a dedicated 208-230/60/1 circuit sized to the 5.1 A minimum circuit ampacity, with a maximum 15 A fuse or HACR breaker.
  • Connect potable water at 20 to 80 psi and a drain line. Manitowoc offers Arctic Pure water filters as an accessory.
  • The bin is ordered separately. Manitowoc requires an ice deflector when the head is installed on a bin.

Questions buyers ask

Does it come with a bin?

No. Manitowoc sells the ice machine and bin separately. The iT0500 is shown on the D400 or D570 bin; the D400 holds 365 lb. and brings the total height to 59.5"; the D570 holds 543 lb. and brings the total height to 71.5".

What electrical service does it need?

208-230/60/1 on its own circuit with a disconnect. Manitowoc lists a 5.1 A minimum circuit ampacity and a 15 A maximum fuse size for this air-cooled model.

How much ice does it really make?

Manitowoc rates 500 lb. per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water. In a hot kitchen, at 90°F air and 70°F water, the rating is 386 lb.

How much space does it need?

The head is 30" W x 24" D x 21.5" H. Leave 12" at the top and sides and 5" at the back for airflow. It must be installed indoors.

What cube does it make?

Regular cubes, 1-1/8" x 1-1/8" x 7/8".
