Common Questions About Manitowoc Ice Machines

Why choose Manitowoc Ice?

Manitowoc ice makers are recognized for dependable performance and versatile ice styles that fit a range of operations. Manitowoc's Indigo series stands out with DuraTech™ coating that prevents smudging, and its programmable production ensures an appropriate supply of ice and energy efficiency. Manitowoc produces ice machines that can make full-cube ice, half-cube ice, nugget ice, flake ice, and extra-large, or gourmet, ice. Indigo NXT™ units use acoustical ice-sensing probes to monitor ice thickness, while AlphaSan® antimicrobial components reduce bacterial growth and improve overall sanitation. Backed by strong warranties, Manitowoc machines provide operators with fresh, reliable ice service shift after shift.

Which Manitowoc ice type is best for your needs?

Manitowoc offers machines that produce gourmet, full-cube, half-cube, nugget, and flake ice. Gourmet cubes are best for cocktails because they melt slowly and displace more liquid. Full- and half-cube ice are versatile for beverages, with half-cube being the most popular due to its balance of quick cooling and melt rate. Nugget ice is chewable and absorbs flavors, making it a favorite for soft drinks, while flake ice is ideal for healthcare applications and chilled food displays. Because flake and nugget units have more moving parts, they typically carry shorter warranties than cube machines.

Which type of compressor do I need?

The next big decision to make when choosing a Manitowoc ice machine is which type of compressor you need. The most common type is an air-cooled compressor, which takes heat from the internal compartment and transfers it into the surrounding air. These machines require proper ventilation and will increase heat and noise in the room. Remote compressors are connected to the ice machine via a series of tubes and wires, and the refrigerant can be cooled at the compressor's separate location, away from the ice machine itself. However, remote compressors don't come with the ice machine and must be purchased separately, while installation is more complicated and thus more costly. You also need an appropriate place to install a remote compressor, usually within 100 feet of the ice machine. Water-cooled compressors are best for institutions with self-sustained water systems, such as casinos, since they consume more utilities and cost more to operate in most settings.
