The Manitowoc RFF1300A Air-Cooled Flaker Ice Machine is engineered for high-volume commercial ice production. Capable of producing up to 1,264 lbs of flake ice per day (951 lbs AHRI certified at 90°F air / 70°F water), this unit is ideal for demanding environments such as seafood displays, salad bars, grocery stores, healthcare facilities, and foodservice operations.
Flake ice forms easily around products, keeping them securely chilled without bruising or shifting—making it perfect for food presentation and cold therapy applications. This model features high-load maintenance-free stainless steel bearings for enhanced reliability and extended service life. Energy improvements average 10% greater efficiency with about 5% increased ice production compared to previous models.
A heavy-duty stainless steel cabinet provides excellent corrosion resistance, while service-friendly design updates make installation, maintenance, and cleaning easier. With a self-contained air-
The Manitowoc RFF1300A Air-Cooled Flaker Ice Machine is a high-capacity commercial ice maker engineered to deliver large volumes of flake ice for demanding foodservice, retail, and healthcare environments. Designed for operations that require continuous and dependable ice production, this flake-style machine combines powerful performance with durable construction and a space-efficient footprint. With dimensions of approximately 30 inches wide, 23-5/8 inches deep, and 27-13/32 inches high, it provides substantial output while still fitting comfortably into many commercial kitchen layouts, prep areas, and product display stations.
This ice machine is capable of producing up to 1,264 pounds of flake ice per 24 hours under ideal conditions of 70°F air and 50°F water, while maintaining an AHRI-certified production capacity of 951 pounds per day in higher ambient conditions of 90°F air and 70°F water. Under certain operating conditions, the system can reach daily production levels of up to 1,365 pounds of flake ice. This high production capacity ensures that busy establishments such as seafood markets, grocery stores, restaurants, and healthcare facilities have a consistent supply of ice available throughout the day.
The flake ice produced by the Manitowoc RFF1300A consists of small, firm flakes that are particularly well suited for product presentation and cooling. Because flake ice forms closely around items, it gently surrounds delicate products such as seafood, meats, or fresh produce without bruising them. This ability allows items to remain securely positioned within display cases or serving areas while maintaining proper temperature control. The same moldable characteristics also make flake ice ideal for salad bars and cold food displays. In addition, healthcare facilities often use flake ice for cold therapy applications because it conforms easily to surfaces and provides consistent cooling.
The unit incorporates several design improvements compared to previous models, including energy efficiency enhancements averaging approximately ten percent and ice production improvements averaging around five percent. These updates help operators achieve better overall performance while managing operating costs. The machine is also designed with service-friendly updates that make installation simpler and cleaning easier, helping reduce maintenance time and support long-term reliability.
Durability is a key component of the RFF1300A’s design. The machine is equipped with high-load, maintenance-free stainless steel bearings that are built to withstand continuous operation in demanding commercial settings. These heavy-duty internal components help ensure dependable ice production while minimizing maintenance requirements. The exterior cabinet is constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel that resists corrosion and stands up to the rigorous conditions of professional kitchens and service environments, while also maintaining a clean and professional appearance.
The air-cooled design with a self-contained condenser simplifies installation and supports efficient operation without requiring additional external refrigeration components. This configuration allows the unit to integrate more easily into existing equipment layouts while maintaining reliable cooling performance.
The Manitowoc RFF1300A also meets recognized safety and sanitation standards, carrying ETL and cETLus certifications. These certifications confirm that the machine complies with commercial safety and sanitation requirements, making it suitable for use in professional foodservice and healthcare environments.
With its combination of high daily ice production, improved efficiency, durable stainless steel construction, and dependable internal components, the Manitowoc RFF1300A Air-Cooled Flaker Ice Machine provides a powerful and reliable solution for operations that require large quantities of flake ice. Whether used for attractive food displays, maintaining product freshness, or supporting medical cooling applications, this commercial ice machine delivers consistent performance and long-term durability in demanding environments.
