Ice-O-Matic 48-1/4" Elevation Series Stainless Steel Remote Cooled Half Dice Cube Ice Machine Head Without Storage Bin, 208/230v - CIM1446R
The Ice-O-Matic CIM1446R is a stainless steel remote-cooled half dice cube ice machine head, specifically designed for commercial applications where high ice production is essential. With a footprint of 48-1/4 inches, this unit is capable of producing up to 1,650 pounds (748 kg) of ice in 24 hours under optimal conditions of 70°F air and 50°F water. Even in warmer environments, it maintains a substantial output of 1,300 pounds (589 kg) at 90°F air and 70°F water, ensuring a reliable ice supply for busy kitchens and bars. It operates on a 208-230V electrical system at 60Hz with a single-phase configuration. It requires a potable water flow rate of 15.0 gallons per minute to ensure the ice produced is safe for consumption. The energy efficiency of the CIM1446R is evident, as it consumes 4.4 kWh per 100 lbs of ice produced at high temperatures. With a minimum circuit ampacity of 19.9 amps and a maximum breaker size of 30 amps, it is designed for safe and efficient operation. Additionally, it has an approximate cooling capacity of 22,000 BTUs per hour, making it an excellent choice for establishments that require consistent and high-quality ice production.
