Koolaire KDP0500A, 30" Air Cooled Full Cube Ice Machine, 502 Lb

Model specifics: up to 502 lbs per 24 hours · 30" wide · ENERGY STAR qualified · Kube (dice) ice · air-cooled · 115/60/1 · ice machine only, bin sold separately

The Koolaire KDP0500A is a 30-inch modular cube ice machine, a Koolaire "Kuber" built by Manitowoc. It makes up to 502 pounds of ice in 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and about 391 pounds at 90°F air and 70°F water. The KP0500 is the largest 115-volt Kuber, putting about 500 pounds a day into the 30-inch, 21.5-inch-tall cabinet. It is ENERGY STAR qualified in both cube sizes.

It makes Koolaire's full-size Kube, a 7/8" x 7/8" x 7/8" dice cube. The square cube is slow to melt and fills a glass evenly, a good all-round choice for soft drinks, iced tea, water service and mixed drinks.

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 5.5 kWh per 100 lbs of ice at 90°F air / 70°F water and about 14.3 gallons of potable water per 100 lbs of ice. Power is 115/60/1 with a 12.5 amp minimum circuit and 20 amp maximum fuse. It runs on standard 115-volt power. Refrigerant is R290.

Matching Koolaire bins: per Koolaire's K-Series bin chart, the KP0500 sits directly on the 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 ICE140-S ice machine water filter system, with the HF40-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.
