![]() |
| Ice Machine - GB560 on a B650 Bin. Stores 660 lbs. of ice, based on 35 lbs./cu.ft. at 90% of bin volume. |
Up To 500 lb. Daily Capacity
SIMPLICITY BY DESIGN
The KOLD-DRAFT 560 Series Classic Ice Cuber
produces up to 500 lbs. of ice per day. It is
engineered with rugged unibody construction
and its time-proven design ensures reliable
operation, greater water efficiency and maximum ice-making capacity. Serviceability is from the
front and the use of environmentally-friendly
R-404A refrigerant gives greater efficiency.
The KOLD-DRAFT B650 bin holds 650 lbs. of ice.
The B650 has a polyethylene liner and stainless
steel exterior front, sides and top. It is insulated with non-CFC foam for exceptional rigidity and
optimum insulation. The B650 comes with an
insulated stainless steel lift up door.
THE HIGHEST QUALITY ICE
Ice that’s free from impurities. Ice that’s uniformly shaped ensuring maximum displacement and ease of handling. Ice that sparkles, melts slowly and looks like ice should look. Three sizes of KOLD-DRAFT cubes to choose from that meet your exact needs. Full cubes, half cubes and cubelets – the highest quality ice.
STACKABILITY
GB Series Classic Ice Cubers are stackable with each other and can be stacked on existing KOLD-DRAFT GB Series Classic and Electronic Cubers. This unique “Add-A-Unit” feature will give you unsurpassed flexibility in ice-making capacity. So as your business grows, so can your ice capacity without using valuable floor space.
KOLD-DRAFT’s Commercial Ice Machine Warranty
KOLD-DRAFT’s warranty provides five years parts and labor on the entire machine and five years on the compressor and evaporator parts. More on the KOLD-DRAFT ice machine warranty.
