Product Description

The Ice-O-Matic GEM0450W90 is a 21 inch water-cooled modular Pearl ice machine head that produces 400 to 500 lb of soft, chewable nugget-style ice per 24 hours.

Water Cooling for Hot Mechanical Rooms

The GEM0450W90 rejects heat into condenser water rather than into the surrounding air, so it holds its rated output in hot kitchens and mechanical rooms where the air-cooled GEM0450A90 would struggle. That advantage comes with a condenser water and drain connection the air-cooled version does not need, plus the ongoing cost of that water.

Matching the Air-Cooled GEM0450A90

Both 0450 variants share the same 400 to 500 lb output and the same 21 in W x 24 in D x 27 in H cabinet, so the choice between them is purely about the install environment and utility hookups on site, not capacity.

R290 Refrigerant in a Water-Cooled Circuit

Like its air-cooled sibling, the GEM0450W90 runs on R290A, a low-GWP hydrocarbon refrigerant. The 115V/60Hz/1-phase electrical requirement stays the same across both cooling types in this output tier, so the only added trade at install is the water line.
