The TUATNUT Commercial Ice Maker produces up to 150 lbs of ice per day and features a 50 lb storage bin. The unit uses 430-series stainless steel for the exterior and high-density polyurethane for insulation, which helps the bin retain ice for over 6 hours. The evaporator plate consists of 45 nickel-plated copper cube molds, designed to produce a batch every 12 to 15 minutes. It is an air-cooled system, so significant clearance is required for the condenser to operate efficiently.
Specifications show that the unit uses a gravity drain, which must be pitched correctly to prevent bin flooding; an external condensate pump may be necessary if a floor drain is not nearby. The LCD panel provides telemetry on water levels and bin status. While the unit features a self-cleaning cycle to help prevent biofilm, manual flushes with citric acid are necessary to clear calcium buildup from the sensors and spray bar. Note that 430-grade stainless steel can be susceptible to surface pitting in very high-humidity environments.
