Koolaire KYT0500A-161 — Modular Head Ice Machine, 425 lb/day
The Koolaire KYT0500A-161 is a commercial modular ice-making head, rated up to 425 lb of ice per 24 hours. That 425 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. 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. Plan on a water filter — most manufacturers require it and hard water cuts production and machine life.
