Ice-O-Matic 313 lb Capacity Air-Cooled Commercial Ice Machine | Half Dice Cube

The Ice-O-Matic 313 lb Capacity Air-Cooled Commercial Ice Machine with half dice cubes is a modular ice maker designed to deliver dependable ice production, efficient performance, and simplified maintenance for busy commercial foodservice environments. Part of the Elevation Series™, this machine is engineered to provide consistent ice output while offering flexible installation options and modern sanitation features. Its modular design allows it to be easily installed on compatible ice bins or beverage dispensers, making it a practical solution for restaurants, bars, hotels, healthcare facilities, and other operations that require a reliable and steady supply of ice.

This air-cooled ice machine produces approximately 313 pounds of half dice cube ice every 24 hours under standard operating conditions of 70°F air and 50°F water. Even in warmer environments, it maintains strong production with approximately 244 pounds of ice per day at 90°F air and 70°F water. The half-size cube format is ideal for beverage service applications because the smaller cubes provide faster cooling while still maintaining good structure in drinks. This ice type works well for soft drinks, cocktails, and other beverages where rapid chilling and consistent ice quality are important.

The machine features a self-contained condenser and a dual exhaust design that allows air to discharge from either the top or the side of the unit. This flexible ventilation system makes installation easier in a wide range of layouts, including tight bar spaces or back-of-house equipment areas. With a compact 22-inch width, the unit fits easily into limited spaces while still providing strong daily ice production.

Efficiency and environmental responsibility are key elements of the design. The ice maker uses R290 refrigerant, which offers improved energy efficiency while significantly reducing environmental impact compared to many traditional refrigerants. Harvest Assist technology further improves performance by helping the ice release more consistently from the evaporator plates. This system helps maintain reliable ice production throughout the life of the machine while also reducing energy consumption and increasing overall capacity.

Durability is enhanced through electroless nickel plating applied to all evaporator plates. This plating provides strong corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in demanding commercial environments. The cabinet exterior is constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum with a fingerprint-resistant finish that helps maintain a clean, professional appearance even in high-traffic service areas.

Cleaning and maintenance are designed to be fast and straightforward in order to minimize downtime. The front-facing evaporator provides easy access for routine inspection and cleaning. Many of the food-zone components are dishwasher safe up to 180°F, allowing operators to quickly sanitize removable parts. One-touch sanitize and descaling controls further simplify routine maintenance, helping staff complete cleaning procedures quickly and efficiently.

The machine also includes PURE ICE® built-in antimicrobial protection in key internal areas to help inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms within the food zone. An LED status display provides clear visual feedback on the machine’s operating condition, making it easy for operators and service technicians to monitor performance and identify maintenance needs.

Serviceability is simplified through the use of many shared components across Ice-O-Matic CIM series machines. This common parts design helps reduce maintenance complexity and allows service technicians to complete repairs more quickly, helping lower long-term operating costs.

The Ice-O-Matic Elevation Series™ half cube ice maker meets important industry standards and certifications including cULus, NSF, and CE. It is also BPA free and ENERGY STAR® certified, reflecting its energy-efficient performance and suitability for commercial foodservice environments.

With its compact modular design, efficient refrigeration system, sanitation-friendly features, and dependable ice production, the Ice-O-Matic 313 lb Capacity Air-Cooled Commercial Ice Machine provides a reliable solution for businesses that require consistent half dice cube ice while maintaining efficient operation and easy maintenance.
