Koolaire - KYT0700A 30" Half Cube Ice Machine Head - 740 lb/day, Air Cooled, 208/230v/1ph
The Koolaire KYT-0700A ice maker uses air to cool its refrigerant lines, which run over the evaporator plate to cool it down to freezing temperatures. Water running over the plate quickly freezes into cubes in the individual cells. After a specific amount of the time, an ice thickness float switch shuts off the water flow, and the harvest cycle begins. The evaporator is then warmed up to release cubes from the plate and drop them into a bin.
This unit is sold separately from bins and dispensers. It can produce 675 pounds of ice in 24 hours if conditions are ideal, but it will usually produce 580 pounds of ice in standard kitchens. Water flows through the food zone, which is made of white plastic so that staff can see when it needs cleaning. The Koolaire KYT-0700A ice machine has removable components for quick cleanup.
Note: This unit must be paired with an ice maker bin or ice dispenser.

How It Works
- Water curtain must be closed and the toggle switch turned to "ice"
- Trough water is disposed of by the purge cycle
- Refrigerant lines are cooled by air
- Evaporator plate is cooled with refrigerant lines
- Water is frozen in the cells of the evaporator plate
- Ice thickness float switch monitors how long water flows over the plate
- Harvest float switch is turned on by ice thickness
- Cubes are released when the evaporator plate is slightly heated
