New Manitowoc NEO Ice Machines: Clearer Ice, Smarter Design
- Jul 29, 2025
The new line of Manitowoc NEO undercounter ice machines is here, bringing you a better way to make ice exactly where you need it. Whether you're running a bar, restaurant, café, or coffee shop, these updated machines help you serve clear, great-tasting ice with less work and more confidence.
With a focus on filtration, energy efficiency, and everyday convenience, Manitowoc has created a machine that works harder - so you don’t have to.
Integrated Water Filtration for Better Ice
Every Manitowoc NEO ice machine now comes with built-in Arctic Pure Pro 5 Micron water filtration. This powerful system helps remove particles, sediment, and unpleasant tastes or odors from your water before it ever becomes ice.
- Cleaner, clearer ice means better-tasting beverages.
- Integrated filtration improves machine performance and efficiency.
- Less maintenance - the filter helps keep your machine cleaner, so you don’t have to clean it as often.
- Longer life on smaller units - while the filter lasts about 6 months on larger machines, it can last up to 8 months on smaller models.
And when it’s time to replace the filter? It’s designed to be quick and easy to remove and install, saving you time and hassle.
Designed for Real-World Use
Manitowoc designed these new machines with the needs of busy kitchens in mind. Every detail helps make daily use easier, from cleaning to scooping to fitting into tight spaces. Key convenience features include:
- Removable Storage Bin
The forward-sliding bin gives you full access to internal parts for fast maintenance - no need to move the whole machine. - Front Airflow
These machines draw in and release air from the front, which makes them perfect for tight spaces like under counters or between equipment. - Easy-to-Use Touchpad
The simple touchpad lets you turn the machine on or off, delay ice production, start a cleaning cycle, or see status alerts like “Filter Change” or “Full Bin.” - Angled Door for Easier Access
A slight angle in the door makes it easier to scoop ice quickly without straining. - Comfortable, Ergonomic Scoop
Each machine includes a well-designed scoop that feels natural in your hand and helps reduce mess. - Antimicrobial Protection
Built-in features help slow the growth of bacteria on key components, keeping your ice cleaner for longer.
A Sustainable Choice
NEO machines use R290 natural refrigerant, which is more environmentally friendly than older refrigerants. It has low global warming potential, meets current energy standards, and helps you reduce your kitchen’s impact without sacrificing performance.
Cube Options for Every Application
The Manitowoc NEO series is available in both dice and half dice cube sizes, so you can choose the ice shape that works best for your drinks. Whether you're serving soft drinks, cocktails, or iced coffee, NEO delivers the quality and consistency your customers will appreciate.
If you’re looking for a compact ice machine that delivers great-tasting ice, built-in filtration, and easy operation, the new Manitowoc NEO series is a perfect fit. With smart design improvements, lower maintenance needs, and better performance, it’s a reliable solution for any commercial kitchen.
