Key Features:
  • High-Volume Nugget Ice Production: Produces up to 420 lb. of Original Chewable Nugget Ice per 24 hours at 70°F air/50°F water, with an AHRI-certified rating of 348 lb. at 90°F/70°F, making it well-suited for high-demand foodservice, healthcare, and hospitality environments.
  • Two Nugget Ice Types Available: Choose between the softer Original Chewable Nugget Ice, ideal for traditional ice bin applications, or the harder H2 Nugget Ice, which is slower melting and better suited for dispensing applications.
  • Energy and Water Efficient: Uses up to 40% less water and 15% less energy than cube ice machines, consuming just 5.36 kWh per 100 lb. of ice produced and only 12 gallons of water per 100 lb., significantly reducing utility costs.
  • Prodigy Plus Self-Diagnostic Technology: Advanced onboard diagnostics continuously monitor machine performance, displaying diagnostic codes to help ensure the right fix the first time and minimize service downtime.
  • AutoAlert Indicator Lights: External LED indicator lights provide at-a-glance operational status and alert operators when it is time to descale, sanitize, or perform other maintenance tasks.
  • Sealed, Maintenance-Free Bearings: Eliminates the need for grease or wearable bearing components, reducing preventive maintenance requirements and maximizing long-term reliability.
  • Stainless-Steel Evaporator and Auger: Durable stainless-steel internal components deliver corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance in demanding commercial settings.
  • AgION Antimicrobial Protection: Built-in AgION antimicrobial treatment guards internal surfaces between cleanings, while the sealed refrigeration system minimizes exposure to airborne contamination for consistently sanitary ice production.
  • Compact, Front-Breathing Design: At just 22"W x 24"D x 23"H, the unit features one of the smallest operational footprints in its class. Air-cooled units are front-breathing, requiring no side clearance for flexible placement in tight spaces.
  • Easy Preventive Maintenance: Easily removed panels provide clear access to internal components, and the external reusable air filter is front-mounted for quick removal and cleaning without special tools.
  • Unit-Specific QR Code: Each unit includes a QR code for instant access to service manuals, cleaning guides, and warranty history, streamlining service calls and recordkeeping.
  • Optional Smart-Board and Vari-Smart Controls: The optional Smart-Board provides NAFEM data protocol and remote operational data monitoring for early issue detection. The optional Vari-Smart ultrasonic ice-level sensor allows operators to program ice production levels up to seven days in advance.
  • Industry Certifications: NSF, AHRI, and UL/cUL certified, meeting rigorous standards for safety, performance, and sanitation in commercial foodservice operations.
  • Made in the USA with Strong Warranty Coverage: Manufactured in South Carolina and backed by a 3-year parts and labor warranty on all components plus a 5-year parts warranty on the compressor.
