True Refrigeration TCIM-530-FA1-A~*-# commercial ice machine

The True Refrigeration TCIM-530-FA1-A~*-# is a commercial modular ice-making head that makes cube ice, rated up to 480 lb of ice per 24 hours. Cube ice is the default for bars and restaurants — slow-melting and clear in drinks. That 480 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 30″ W × 24″ D × 22″ 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, wired for 115V. Manufacturer warranty: 3yr parts & labor; 5yr compressor (parts); 5yr evaporator (parts & labor). Plan on a water filter — most manufacturers require it and hard water cuts production and machine life.
