Description
The Koolaire KYT1700W 48" Ice Machine is a premium commercial-grade solution designed for restaurants, bars, and food service establishments that demand consistent, high-volume ice production with minimal maintenance. This water-cooled unit delivers 1,555 lbs of AHRI-certified half-cube ice per 24 hours, ensuring your beverages stay perfectly chilled while minimizing waste from slow-melting ice. Its compact footprint (34" deep x 35.5" tall) makes it an efficient fit for tight commercial kitchens or back-of-house spaces.
A key advantage of this model is its easy-to-clean food zone, accessible via two removable screws and a door, allowing for quick disassembly and deep cleaning—critical for maintaining hygiene standards in a busy restaurant environment. The half-cube ice size (0.375" x 1.125" x 0.875") is ideal for cooling cocktails, beer, and drinks, as it melts faster than full-cube ice while reducing surface area contamination. Additionally, the corrosion-resistant exterior finish and removable components (distribution tube, floats, pump, trough, and water shield) reduce downtime and extend the machine’s lifespan.
For commercial operations prioritizing reliability and efficiency, the Koolaire KYT1700W stands out with its 3-year parts & labor warranty, 5-year evaporator warranty, and R410A refrigerant for optimal performance. Whether you're outfitting a high-volume restaurant, a bar, or a catering kitchen, this ice machine delivers consistent production, durability, and ease of maintenance—making it a smart investment for any business serious about quality. Pair it with a compatible ice bin or dispenser (sold separately) for a complete solution.
