Kold-Draft GBX561ACE, 42" Air Cooled Full Cube Ice Machine, 481 Lb

Model specifics: up to 481 lbs per 24 hours · 42.3" wide · Kold-Draft big cube (1-1/4" square) · air-cooled · 115/60/1 · ice machine only, bin sold separately

The Kold-Draft GBX561ACE is a 42-inch modular cube ice machine from the Kold-Draft X-Series. It makes up to 481 pounds of ice in 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and about 430 pounds at 90°F air and 70°F water. The GBX560 series is Kold-Draft's 42-inch X-Series head in the half-ton class: a low 17-inch cabinet that sits on the 42" KDB650 or 48" KDB950 bin and can be stacked with a second X-Series head to double production in the same footprint (stacking kit required).

Kold-Draft's upside-down horizontal evaporator and water plate freeze a true 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" square cube. The cube is hard, dense, clear and slow to melt, so it holds up in cocktails, spirits and soft drinks and stays fresh in the bin.

This is the air-cooled version, so no condenser water line is needed. Kold-Draft calls for 4 inches of clearance on the left side, 8 inches on the right side and back, and 6 inches on top for ventilation and utility connections, with room temperatures from 45°F to 110°F. Peak heat rejection is 8,750 BTU/hr, so plan ventilation accordingly.

Power is 115/60/1 with a 15.9 amp minimum circuit and 20 amp maximum fuse. It runs on standard 115-volt power.
