Ice-O-Matic GEM0650A90 21-Inch Air-Cooled Pearl Nugget Modular Ice Maker - 700 lb/Day Head Commercial Description

Ice-O-Matic GEM0650A90 — 700-pound Pearl Ice capacity for frequent beverage service

The Ice-O-Matic GEM0650A90 is an air-cooled modular pearl nugget ice maker producing up to 700 lb of ice every 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water. At 90°F air and 70°F water, its rated output is 538 lb per day. The head measures 21 inches wide and works with a separate compatible storage bin, allowing the ice-making and storage capacities to be selected independently. This listing is for the ice machine head only; a storage bin is sold separately.

Ice-O-Matic's Pearl Ice measures 1/2 x 3/8 in. and has the soft, chewable texture associated with nugget-style ice. It suits fountain drinks, iced tea and other beverage service where customers enjoy both the drink and the ice. The GEM0650A90 makes this small, irregular ice format automatically, bringing a different texture to the menu than a hard full cube or gourmet cube.

A stainless steel evaporator assembly and industrial-grade double roller bearings support the continuous ice-making mechanism. The gearbox load-monitoring system checks the drive workload and can shut the system down on overload. A water sensor responds to water-supply conditions, while non-contact ice detection provides an automatic bin-level shutoff. These systems support equipment operation without requiring a mechanical paddle to remain in the ice.

The GEM0650A90 combines its Pearl Ice mechanism with R290 refrigeration and a 115V / 60Hz / single-phase electrical supply. The listed cabinet dimensions are 21 W × 24 D × 27 H inches, with intake and exhaust positions shown on the installation drawing. Its 3/8 in. FPT water inlet and 3/4 in. FPT drain connect at the rear. A separate compatible bin and any required adapter kit complete the installation; neither is included with the ice machine head.

Key Features

  • Up to 700 lb/day at 70°F air / 50°F water
  • 538 lb/day at 90°F air / 70°F water
  • Pearl Nugget Ice: 1/2 x 3/8 in.
  • Stainless steel evaporator assembly
  • Industrial-grade double roller bearings
  • Gearbox load monitoring with protective shutoff

  • Non-contact ice-level detection and automatic shutoff
  • 21-inch-wide modular cabinet
  • R290 refrigerant; 115V / 60Hz / 1 phase
  • Separate compatible bin required

Best For

Restaurants, cafés, convenience stores and high-use beverage stations that serve chewable nugget-style ice. The modular design suits operators who want to select storage capacity separately from daily ice production.
