The Manitowoc RNP0620A Air-Cooled Nugget Ice Machine delivers high-volume production of bite-sized nugget ice for commercial beverage service and healthcare applications. Designed for performance and durability, this machine produces up to 591 lbs of nugget ice per day (451 lbs AHRI certified at 90°F air / 70°F water).
Nugget ice contains approximately 85% ice content, providing one of the best ice-to-water ratios for fast cooling while minimizing drink dilution. Its soft, chewable texture makes it ideal for soft drinks, smoothies, beverage dispensing, and cold therapy. The unit can also be paired with Multiplex beverage dispensers to create a premium drink service experience.
Built for reliability, the RNP0620A features high-load maintenance-free stainless steel bearings and a heavy-duty stainless steel exterior that resists corrosion in demanding commercial environments. The R-290 refrigerant provides an environmentally friendly cooling solution with reduced ozone impact compared to traditional refrigerants.


The Manitowoc RNP0620A Air-Cooled Nugget Ice Maker is a powerful commercial ice machine designed to produce soft, chewable nugget-style ice that is ideal for beverages, foodservice operations, and healthcare environments. Engineered for reliability and high production capacity, this unit provides a dependable solution for restaurants, convenience stores, cafés, hospitals, and beverage stations that require a consistent supply of high-quality nugget ice throughout the day. Its compact footprint allows it to fit easily into a variety of installations while still delivering substantial ice output for demanding operations.
Under ideal conditions of 70°F air and 50°F water, the RNP0620A can produce up to 591 pounds of nugget ice every 24 hours. Even in warmer environments, the unit maintains strong performance with an AHRI-certified production capacity of 451 pounds per day at 90°F air and 70°F water. In optimal circumstances, the machine can produce up to approximately 633 pounds of ice daily. This level of production ensures that businesses have an ample supply of ice available for continuous beverage service, blending, or therapeutic use.
The machine produces bite-sized nugget ice that contains approximately 85 percent ice content, creating one of the most effective ice-to-water ratios available for cooling beverages. This composition allows drinks to chill quickly while minimizing dilution, helping maintain beverage flavor and quality. Nugget ice is especially popular in soft drink service because of its soft, chewable texture and its ability to absorb beverage flavors. It is commonly used in fountain drinks, smoothies, blended beverages, and specialty drinks where both cooling performance and texture are important.
In addition to beverage service, nugget ice is widely used in healthcare settings for cold therapy and patient care. Its soft, moldable structure allows the ice to conform easily around surfaces or injuries, providing effective cooling while remaining comfortable to handle. This versatility makes the RNP0620A suitable for facilities that require ice for both foodservice and medical applications.
Durability and long-term reliability are key aspects of this ice maker’s design. The machine incorporates high-load stainless steel bearings that are engineered to operate continuously while remaining maintenance-free. These heavy-duty internal components help ensure consistent ice production while reducing the need for routine servicing. The unit is powered by a 1 horsepower system that supports efficient ice formation and steady operation during peak usage periods.
The exterior of the machine features a heavy-duty stainless steel cabinet that resists corrosion and stands up to the demanding conditions of commercial kitchens and beverage service environments. This durable construction helps maintain a clean, professional appearance while also simplifying routine cleaning and maintenance.
The RNP0620A uses R-290 refrigerant, an environmentally friendly refrigerant option that offers lower ozone depletion potential compared to older refrigerants such as R404. This modern refrigerant supports efficient cooling performance while helping businesses meet evolving environmental standards and sustainability goals.
The air-cooled design with a self-contained condenser simplifies installation and operation, allowing the unit to function efficiently without requiring additional external cooling systems. The ice maker can also be paired with Multiplex beverage dispensers to create a complete beverage service setup, providing an enhanced soft drink experience with a reliable supply of chewable nugget ice.
To meet commercial safety and sanitation requirements, the Manitowoc RNP0620A carries NSF, cULus, CE, and cETLus certifications. These certifications indicate that the machine complies with recognized standards for sanitation, safety, and performance in professional foodservice environments.
Combining high-capacity nugget ice production, durable stainless steel construction, efficient refrigeration technology, and reliable internal components, the Manitowoc RNP0620A Air-Cooled Nugget Ice Maker offers a dependable solution for businesses that require large volumes of chewable ice. Whether used for beverage service, blended drinks, or therapeutic cooling applications, this machine provides consistent performance and long-lasting reliability in demanding commercial settings.
