Ice-O-Matic 561 lb Capacity Commercial Ice Machine | Half Dice Cube | Air-Cooled

This Ice-O-Matic 561 lb capacity commercial ice machine with half dice cubes is designed to deliver dependable, high-volume ice production while maintaining efficient operation and simplified maintenance. As part of the Elevation Series™ modular ice maker line, this unit is built for demanding commercial environments such as restaurants, bars, hotels, healthcare facilities, and institutional kitchens where consistent ice availability is critical to daily operations. Its modular configuration allows it to be paired with a variety of compatible ice bins or dispensers, offering flexibility in system design and installation.

The unit features an air-cooled, self-contained condenser and produces approximately 525 pounds of half-size cube ice per 24 hours under standard conditions of 70°F air and 50°F water. Even in more challenging environments with higher ambient temperatures, it continues to perform reliably, producing approximately 400 pounds of ice per day at 90°F air and 70°F water. The half dice cube format is ideal for beverage applications, offering faster cooling and improved drink presentation while maintaining a solid structure that performs well in high-volume service settings.

Designed with installation versatility in mind, this model includes a top air discharge configuration that helps streamline placement in a variety of kitchen or bar layouts. The 30-inch width provides substantial production capacity while still fitting within standard commercial equipment footprints. Its modular design supports straightforward installation on top of ice storage bins or beverage dispensers, allowing operators to build a system that meets their specific operational needs.

Ease of maintenance and sanitation is a key focus of this machine’s design. The front-facing evaporator allows for quick and convenient access during cleaning and servicing, reducing downtime and simplifying routine upkeep. Food zone components are dishwasher safe up to 180°F, making it easier to maintain proper sanitation standards. One-touch sanitize and descaling controls further streamline the cleaning process, helping operators maintain performance while minimizing labor requirements and operational interruptions.

The machine incorporates Harvest Assist technology to promote consistent ice release and stable production throughout its lifespan. This feature helps optimize the harvest cycle, supporting reliable output while also contributing to improved energy efficiency and increased overall capacity. Durability is enhanced through electroless nickel plating on the evaporator plates, providing added resistance to corrosion and wear in demanding commercial environments.

Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum with a fingerprint-resistant finish, the exterior maintains a clean and professional appearance even in high-traffic areas. The use of R290 refrigerant supports environmentally responsible operation while delivering efficient cooling performance, helping reduce overall energy consumption and environmental impact.

An LED status display provides clear and accessible system information, allowing operators to easily monitor performance and identify maintenance needs. The unit is certified to meet key commercial standards, including cULus, NSF, and CE, and is ENERGY STAR® rated for energy efficiency. With its combination of high production capacity, durable construction, efficient operation, and user-friendly maintenance features, this Ice-O-Matic air-cooled ice machine offers a reliable solution for operations that require a consistent supply of half dice cube ice.
