The Manitowoc IRT0500A-261* Ice Machine is a high-performance, air-cooled ice maker designed for commercial foodservice and hospitality operations. It is made in America and constructed with a stainless steel, silver exterior and hygienic plastic interior. It produces full-size cubes, measuring 1 1/8" W x 1 1/8" D x 7/8" H, and delivers an ice production capacity of 500 lb per day.

It operates with programmable ice production and intelligent diagnostics for streamlined performance. It uses R410A refrigerant, runs on 208/230V, 60 Hz, 1 phase, and consumes 5.04 kWh per 100 lbs of ice and 19 gallons of water. The system supports a potable water pressure range of 20 to 80 psi and features a cleaning alert indicator display for optimal sanitation. Its LuminIce® II Growth Inhibitor and Easy-to-Clean Foodzone keep internal components cleaner for longer.

The unit has a self-contained compressor and supports 20 to 276 psi condenser water pressure. With dimensions of 30 in (W) x 24.5 in (D) x 21.5 in (H), the machine includes a 3/8 in water inlet, a 1/2 in drain, and handles ambient temperatures from 40° to 110°F. The maximum fuse size is 15 A, and BTU output reaches 6000 BTU/hr, making it efficient and installation-friendly. It is compatible with bins like D400 and D570. The max fuse size required is 15 A with a hardwired plug.

Certified by NSF, CE, AHRI, cULus, and Energy Star, the unit meets rigorous industry standards. Backed by a 3-year parts and labor warranty on the ice maker and a 5-year parts and labor warranty on the evaporator and compressor, it’s built for reliability and long-term use.
