{"product_id":"spika-ms500a1fr","title":"ITV Ice Makers SPIKA MS500A1FR 30\" Remote Air-Cooled Modular Full-Dice Cube Ice Machine – 441 lb\/Day (Head Only)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \"R\" in this model means remote: instead of rejecting heat into the room like a self-contained machine, the MS500A1FR pairs with an outdoor or remotely mounted RC5 condenser connected by a refrigerant line set. The benefit is a noticeably cooler, quieter ice-making area — about 8,250 BTU\/h of heat is moved away from the space — which is ideal where kitchen heat load, ventilation, or noise is a concern. It does require professional refrigeration installation and the matching RC5 condensing unit and line set, which are ordered separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull-dice cubes measure about 1\" × 0.9\" × 1\" (26 × 23 × 26 mm) — a substantial, traditional cube that melts slowly and dilutes drinks less, making it the go-to choice for spirits, cocktails, and upscale fountain and bar service. The machine forms about 200 of these cubes per cycle on a high-efficiency vertical plate evaporator, using ITV's patented smart water distributor that cascades water across the entire evaporator so each cube takes shape cleanly and consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a 30\" footprint, the head pairs with a range of ITV storage bins and is stackable — two heads can sit on one large bin with the optional stacking kit. A smart electronic control board manages every parameter and shows self-diagnostics; panels come off with a single screwdriver for fast service, and the high-resistance AISI 304 stainless steel frame is built for demanding kitchens. The head runs on 115 V single-phase power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemote condenser (RC5):\u003c\/strong\u003e rejects ~8,250 BTU\/h of heat and fan noise out of the room for a cooler, quieter kitchen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic full-dice cube:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~1\" × 0.9\" × 1\" (26 × 23 × 26 mm) — slow-melting, low-dilution \"Classic American\" cube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh output:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 441 lb (200 kg) of ice per day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApprox. 200 cubes per cycle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStackable:\u003c\/strong\u003e two heads on one bin with the optional stacking kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e115 V \/ 60 Hz \/ single-phase\u003c\/strong\u003e head power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatented smart water distributor\u003c\/strong\u003e for clean, consistent cubes and better scale resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-efficiency vertical plate evaporator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmart electronic control board\u003c\/strong\u003e with self-diagnostics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool-light service:\u003c\/strong\u003e panels remove with a single screwdriver (EASI — Easy Access for Service \u0026amp;
