Ice-O-Matic HEM0450A90 — Nugget Modular Head Ice Machine, 21"W, 293 lb/day
The Ice-O-Matic HEM0450A90 is a commercial modular ice-making head that makes nugget ice, rated up to 293 lb of ice per 24 hours. Nugget (chewable) ice suits healthcare, soft drinks and smoothies. That 293 lb/day figure is the AHRI rating (90°F air / 70°F water); real output runs lower in a hot kitchen, so size with headroom. It measures 21″ W × 24″ D × 27″ H and ships as a head only, so budget a matching-width storage bin. It is air-cooled — the simplest install, but it exhausts heat into the room and needs clearance. It is ENERGY STAR certified, NSF listed, wired for 115V. Manufacturer warranty: 3yr parts & labor, 5yr evaporator, 5yr compressor. Plan on a water filter — most manufacturers require it and hard water cuts production and machine life.
