The Ecevt 105lb Ice Machine is a light commercial unit that uses a square-cube evaporator plate rather than bullet fingers, resulting in solid ice sheets that melt slower than bullet ice. It is constructed from 304 stainless steel and high-density polypropylene. This model uses an R290 refrigerant system, which is thermodynamically efficient but requires at least 6 inches of ventilation clearance. Because of its 45 lb dry weight and vibration frequency, it should be placed on a reinforced, stable surface.
Tests indicate that the first batch of ice is produced quickly, though the unit is gravity-drain dependent, which can make countertop installation tricky without a nearby sink. The "Auto-Cleaning" mode is designed with a longer cycle to improve descaling results. For long-term reliability, especially in hard water areas, an external inline water filter is recommended to prevent mineral scale from affecting the internal water pump and sensors. Note that the bin is not a freezer; ice will begin to melt over a 4 to 6-hour period if not moved.
Technical Features
- High-output capacity suitable for large parties or professional settings.
- Square-cube ice provides a slower melt rate for beverages.
- One-button cleaning cycle specifically flushes the evaporator plate.
If you need a high-output machine but require more than 100 lbs of ice per day, the Tuatnut 150lb commercial ice maker offers an even larger capacity.
