![]() |
| Ice Machine - GT550 on a B400 Bin. Stores 400 lbs. of ice, based on 35 lbs./cu.ft. at 90% of bin volume. |
Up to 520 lb. Daily Capacity
SIMPLICITY BY DESIGN
The KOLD-DRAFT 550 Series Classic Ice Cuber produces up to 520 lbs. of ice per day. It is engineered with rugged stainless steel panels and frame. 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 B400 Bin holds 400 lbs. of ice. The B400 has a stainless steel interior liner and stainless steel exterior front, sides and back. It is insulated with 2" of expanded foam insulation and comes with an insulated stainless steel lift up door that will withstand years of hard use.
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.
KOLD-DRAFT’s Ice Commercial 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.
