The Ice-O-Matic GEM0956A is the ultimate solution for commercial kitchens and restaurants needing high-volume, energy-efficient nugget ice production. Part of the Pearl Ice® series, this air-cooled machine delivers up to 1,053 pounds of soft, chewable nugget ice daily while storing 510 pounds in its insulated bin—ideal for bars, hotels, and high-traffic foodservice operations. Unlike cube-style ice makers, this unit is designed to consume less water and power, reducing operational costs while maintaining peak performance. Its self-contained condenser eliminates the need for complex building modifications, making installation seamless even in tight spaces. The durable stainless steel finish and 21-inch-wide footprint ensure it fits neatly into commercial kitchen layouts, while advanced features like SystemSafe load monitoring and a water sensor prevent downtime caused by mechanical stress or water issues. For restaurants and establishments that demand reliable, high-quality ice production without sacrificing efficiency, the GEM0956A is a top choice.
