The Koolaire KYT0500W/K570 560 lb half cube ice machine is a high-performance, water-cooled solution designed for commercial kitchens and restaurants demanding efficiency and durability. With a daily ice production capacity of 560 lbs (450 lbs AHRI-certified), this ice machine ensures a steady supply of half-cube ice—measuring 0.375 in. x 1.125 in. x 0.875 in.—which chills beverages faster than full-size cubes, ideal for bars, restaurants, and catering operations. Its stainless steel-like exterior resists smudges and fingerprints, maintaining a professional appearance while its compact footprint (34 in. deep x 65.5 in. tall) fits seamlessly into tight spaces. The water-cooled, self-contained condenser eliminates the need for air cooling, reducing energy costs and heat output, while the removable water shield, distribution tube, pump, floats, and trough make maintenance a breeze. Designed for 24/7 operation in ambient temperatures of 40–110°F and incoming water temperatures of 40–90°F (20–80 PSI), this unit is built to handle the demands of commercial environments. The 532 lb bin capacity ensures minimal refilling, maximizing uptime. For restaurants and bars prioritizing efficiency, durability, and performance, the Koolaire KYT Series is the smart choice for ice production.
