Koolaire KYP0400A, 30" Air Cooled Half Cube Ice Machine, 450 Lb

Model specifics: up to 450 lbs per 24 hours · 30" wide · ENERGY STAR qualified · Half Kube (half dice) ice · air-cooled · 115/60/1 · ice machine only, bin sold separately

The Koolaire KYP0400A is a 30-inch modular cube ice machine, a Koolaire "Kuber" built by Manitowoc. It makes up to 450 pounds of ice in 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and about 350 pounds at 90°F air and 70°F water. The KP0400 steps production up to the 450 lb class in the same 30-inch by 21.5-inch cabinet, a common replacement size for busy restaurants and bars that still run on a standard 115-volt outlet.

It makes Koolaire's Half Kube, a 3/8" x 1-1/8" x 7/8" half-dice cube. The thinner cube packs tightly in cups, cools drinks fast and is the usual pick for fountain beverages, blended drinks and dispensers.

This is the air-cooled version, so no condenser water line is needed; it puts about 7,515 BTU/hr of heat into the room on average (8,905 BTU/hr at peak), so plan ventilation accordingly. Koolaire rates it at 5.3 kWh per 100 lbs of ice at 90°F air / 70°F water and about 13.7 gallons of potable water per 100 lbs of ice. Power is 115/60/1 with an 11.4 amp minimum circuit and 15 amp maximum fuse. It runs on standard 115-volt power. Refrigerant is R290.

Matching Koolaire bins: per Koolaire's K-Series bin chart, the KP0400 sits directly on the K400 (365 lb, 30" wide) or K570 (532 lb, 30" wide) bin; it also fits the K970 (882 lb, 48" wide) with the K00470 bin adapter. Bins and adapters are sold separately.

Water filter: filtered water keeps scale off the evaporator and makes clearer, better-tasting ice. The matching filter for this model is the 3M CUNO ICE120-S ice machine water filter system, with the HF20-S replacement cartridge for change-outs. Both are sold separately.

Koolaire warranty: Koolaire's limited commercial warranty covers the ice maker for three (3) years parts and labor, the evaporator for five (5) years parts and labor, and the compressor for five (5) years parts and three (3) years labor.

Please note: this is the ice machine head only. The ice bin, bin adapter and water filter are sold separately. The attached Koolaire spec sheet has full dimensions, clearances and utility connections.
