Product Description

The Ice-O-Matic GEM0450A90 is a 21 inch air-cooled modular Pearl ice machine head that produces 400 to 500 lb of soft, chewable nugget-style ice per 24 hours.

Air Cooling on a Standard 115V Circuit

The GEM0450A90 rejects condenser heat into the kitchen air instead of into a water line, so it runs on a standard 115V/60Hz/1-phase circuit with no condenser water or drain hookup required. That keeps installation simpler than the water-cooled GEM0450W90 in the same output tier, at the cost of adding heat load to the space around the unit.

Entry Point of the GEM Pearl Line

At 400 to 500 lb per day, the GEM0450A90 sits at the bottom of the 21 inch GEM cabinet size, one step below the 700 to 800 lb GEM0650A90 that shares the same air-cooled configuration and footprint. Operators choosing between the two are trading daily output for the same 21 in W x 24 in D x 27 in H head, so the decision comes down to how much ice the operation needs rather than available space.

R290 Refrigerant and the IFQ1 Filter

The unit runs on R290A, a low-GWP hydrocarbon refrigerant, paired with an IFQ1 filtration system sized to this output tier. Larger GEM heads in the 900 lb and up range step up to the IFQ1-XL and IFQ2 filters, so the IFQ1 here is matched specifically to this smaller cabinet's water flow.
