Manitowoc Introduces Two New Energy Star 3.0 Indigo NXT Model Series
Indigo NXT (NEXT), Manitowoc’s next generation ice maker, is proud to announce the addition of two new Energy Star 3.0 approved model series to add to their portfolio of modular cubers. The Indigo NXT iT0750 air and water-cooled machines which will replace the iF0600 series and the Indigo NXT IT0900 air and water-cooled machines will replace the IF0900 series. These models will be available for sale beginning in March 2019.

Indigo NXT simplifies the process of owning and operating an ice machine by incorporating a 2.8-inch icon based easyTouch display into their modular cubers. Installation and set-up are no problem with the startup wizard. Owner-operators always know the operating status of their ice machine by the full color status indicators on the display. One touch access to asset information, service menu, reminders and alerts takes the guess work out of owning an ice machine. Programing the ice machine to be off during peak energy rates is as easy as setting an alarm clock on a personal mobile device.Other worry-free features include: auto detection of key accessories, handy water usage settings, one touch icon to locate a service provider and a display lock feature to prevent unwanted tampering.

Indigo NXT provides the next level of sanitation with its hinged front door that swings open and that does not need to be removed to access the foodzone. A front facing evaporator allows foodzone access without removing the top or side covers. The inside has smooth rounded corners to easily wipe clean and all the foodzone parts that need sanitizing can be removed without tools. Indigo NXT offers the industry’s only fully integrated advanced sanitation solution.The optional built-in LuminIce II device has a status icon in the display that provides peace of mind when system is working and indicators when servicing is required. LuminIce II keeps the food zone cleaner longer – meaning you clean less often and save money on cleaning cost over the lifetime of the machine

Indigo NXT models are among the most efficient cuber ice machines on the market today. Both the iT0750 and iT0900 air cooled models will be ENERGY STAR 3.0 qualified which makes them available for consumer rebates. Both model series incorporate the use of R410A refrigerant which is environmentally friendly and has 48% less global warming potential than previous models. All Indigo NXT models are certified by AHRI (Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Institute) to ASHRAE standards assuring customers that the Indigo NXT ice machines perform according to published specifications.

The Indigo NXT series provides the customer with the next level of reliability. The two new models will also incorporate a new feature called Active Sense. Active Sense is a new software and hardware solution built into the Inigo NXT machine which helps an individual ice machine learn its unique environmental conditions and creates its own individual ice making profile for determining the optimal time to harvest ice. Active Sense takes an already proven technology of the patented acoustic ice thickness probe and makes it even better resulting in superior performance and excellent reliability.

Manitowoc Introduces 10 Pack-Bundle: Metal Scoops, External Scoop Holders with Retail Merchandiser Package


Manitowoc, Welbilt’s leading brand for commercial ice makers, is offering two aftermarket accessories in new retail packaging with a point of sale merchandiser to display in restaurant equipment showrooms and commercial kitchen supply stores.
The 10-pack bundle includes 6- K00461 Multi-Mount External scoop holders and 4- K00463 NSF approved metal ice scoops, with a corrugated merchandiser fully assembled in one over pack carton. Unpack and set up the display in minutes for cash and carry items that will improve the overall sanitation of scooping ice for foodservice operations. The bundle is available from Manitowoc Distributors beginning in February 2019.

For places where the ice scoop must be stored outside the bin, Manitowoc has developed the optional NSF approved commercial grade external scoop holder. The external scoop holder can be configured in seven different ways for maximum flexibility. It can be mounted left side or right side of a bin, horizontal or vertical on a bin or on a wall in either direction. The scoop holder can be configured and assembled in minutes without any tools. The holder accommodates the NSF approved, blue ABS plastic scoop which ships with the Manitowoc D-bins, or with the new K00463 NSR approved metal scoop.The Multi-Mount external scoop holder can be used on Manitowoc, Koolaire and other branded bins as well.

The K00463 metal scoop is made with indestructible NSF certified cast aluminum with a capacity of 5.3 lbs/ 85 oz of scooping capacity. The knuckle guard improves sanitation by protecting the hand from contacting the ice. The rubber handle prevents the hand from getting cold when the scoop is accidently left inside the bin. Additionally, the K00463 metal scoop comes with a limited lifetime warranty that allows for free replacement under normal use and care.
