Product Overview
The Manitowoc Indigo NXT Series iT0450 ice machine is designed for operators who recognize the critical role of ice in their business. Featuring advanced preventative diagnostics, the machine continually monitors itself for reliable ice production. Enhancements in cleanability and programmability contribute to easier ownership and lower operating costs.
Key Benefits:
- Improved Performance: Offers an average of 9% lower energy consumption, up to 12% increase in ice production, and reductions in condenser water usage (19%) and potable water usage (5%), leading to a lower cost of ownership.
- easyTouch® Display: An intuitive icon-based touchscreen simplifies operation and maintenance.
- Programmable Ice Production: Allows users to schedule the machine's operation based on time of day or daily ice volume to conserve energy and manage costs.
- Easy to Clean Foodzone: Features a hinged front door for full access, with removable components like the water-trough, distribution tube, curtain, and water probe for efficient cleaning. Select components include AlphaSan® antimicrobial protection.
- Intelligent Diagnostics: Provides 24-hour monitoring for preventative maintenance and diagnostic feedback, ensuring trouble-free operation.
- Acoustical Ice Sensing Probe: A patented technology that ensures reliable ice production even in challenging water conditions.
- DuraTech® Exterior: A superior corrosion-resistant finish over stainless steel, featuring a clear-coat that resists fingerprints and dirt for easier maintenance.
- LuminIce® II Growth Inhibitor: Helps control the growth of bacteria and yeast within the food zone, keeping the machine cleaner for longer. An indicator on the display monitors its operational status.
