This is a presentation machine. A sphere has the least surface area of any ice shape for its volume, so it melts the slowest of anything you can put in a glass, and that is exactly why cocktail bars and whiskey programs buy it: the drink stays at strength while it is being enjoyed, and the ice itself is part of the service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSphere ice made in the machine, not by hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe alternative to this machine is hand-carving or silicone-mold spheres in a freezer, both of which cost labor and produce inconsistent results. The IM-50BAA-Q forms each sphere individually as part of its normal cycle, so a bar can pull a uniform sphere on demand through service instead of rationing a tray made that morning. At 500 spheres a day it comfortably covers a busy cocktail bar's whole shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSelf-contained and plug-in\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 36-pound storage bin is integral, so nothing separate has to be specified or fitted. The cabinet is 24-3\/4 inches wide by 39-1\/2 inches tall and ships with a 6.5-foot cord and NEMA 5-15 plug drawing 5 amps, meaning it goes on a standard 115V outlet rather than a hard-wired circuit. Note the water figure before siting it: sphere production uses 69 gallons of potable water per 100 pounds of ice, considerably more than a conventional cuber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIM-50BAA-Q\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIce type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSphere\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIce production\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 50 lb, or 500 spheres, per 24 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStorage capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 36 lb, built in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondenser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir-cooled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExterior dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24-3\/4\" W x 20-3\/4\" D x 39-1\/2\" H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElectrical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115V\/60\/1, 5 amps, 15 amp max fuse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5 ft cord with NEMA 5-15 plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRefrigerant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR-134a, 7.1 oz (201 g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.7 kWh per 100 lb at 90\/70\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e69 gal potable water per 100 lb at 90\/70\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eETL Listed (US and C), NSF, UL Health Effects\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree years parts and labor on the entire machine.
