The Signature
A lot of ice. A lot of options. The KOLD-DRAFT GB560 Signature Series is our most popular line, producing up to 500 lbs. of ice per day. And, like all KOLD-DRAFT GB units, the GB560 is stackable — allowing you to double the capacity in the same footprint. KOLD-DRAFT equipment offers some of the best recovery rates in the industry, too. You get more ice, more often.
KOLD-DRAFT ice machines produce the only "square cube," known for its perfect shape, purity, hardness, and slower melt rate. That means it not only looks better, but also lasts longer in storage bins, cocktail sinks, drinks, salad bars, bags, and coolers. And all KOLD-DRAFT ice machines feature a unique "upside-down" horizontal evaporator and water plate assembly. As water is sprayed upward into the evaporator cells, the pure water freezes first while particulates and air are forced out and dumped at the end of each cycle. This leaves only perfect crystal-clear cubes, nearly as pure as distilled water.
The GB560 Series' rugged unibody construction and time-proven design ensure reliable operation, greater water efficiency and maximum ice-making capacity. Plus, they are energy efficient, using environmentally friendly R-404A refrigerant. To facilitate maintenance, the GB560 is serviceable from the front and is armed with our 3-year "bumper-to-bumper" warranty on all parts and labor
