Description

Koolaire KDT-0300A Ice Machine Head Overview

The Koolaire KDT-0300A is a reliable ice machine head capable of producing up to 330 pounds of ice per day, with an AHRI-certified output of 230 pounds. This machine specializes in creating full-cube ice, known for its slow melting properties, making it suitable for a variety of applications while not occupying too much space in beverage glasses.

Key Features:

• Ice Production: Capable of generating 333 pounds daily, with 230 pounds certified by AHRI.
• Cube Size: Produces full-cube ice, each measuring 0.875 inches on all sides.
• Accessibility: Features a white plastic food zone with components that are easily removable for cleaning.
• Operation: Equipped with a toggle switch for starting the ice production cycle.
• Cleaning: Simple to maintain with removable distribution tube, floats, pump, trough, and water shield.
• Design: Smudge-resistant exterior and an air-cooled baffle to prevent condenser air recirculation.

Functional Mechanics:

• Cycle Initiation: Begins with setting the toggle to “ice” and closing the water curtain.
• Cooling Process: Utilizes a fan to cool down refrigerant lines, which in turn chills the evaporator.
• Ice Formation: Water flows over the chilled evaporator plate and freezes into cubes.
• Harvest Cycle: Ice thickness is monitored by a float switch; once optimal, the refrigerant heats the plate to release ice.

Installation Requirements:

• Must be paired with an ice bin or dispenser.
• Requires specific environmental conditions to operate optimally.

Physical and Operational Specifications:

• Dimensions: Measures 30 inches in width, 24 inches in depth, and 21.5 inches in height.
• Electrical Needs: Runs on 115 V/60 Hz/1 ph and consumes 5.9 kW, drawing 9.4 amps.
• Environmental Conditions: Best performance within ambient air temperatures of 40-110 degrees F and water temperatures of 40-90 degrees F.
• Clearances: Requires 12 inches of clearance on top and sides, and 5 inches at the rear.

Certifications and Warranties:

• This unit is ENERGY STAR® certified, ensuring energy-efficient operation.
• Backed by a 3-year parts and labor warranty, with an extended 5-year warranty on the evaporator and additional compressor coverage.

This ice machine head is ideal for commercial environments such as restaurants, bars, and hospitality settings, where large volumes of ice are required consistently.
