High-Volume Ice Output
The ARCTIC-TEMP® Model 1500RCU is engineered for heavy-duty performance, producing 10,000 lbs. of hard cracked ice in 24 hours. This consistent, high-volume output meets the needs of industries such as seafood processing, poultry production, produce cooling, chemical manufacturing, and concrete cooling. With its impressive capacity and efficient footprint, the 1500RCU is designed to keep up with continuous demand without sacrificing space.
Advanced Engineering for Maximum Efficiency
The 1500RCU incorporates precision engineering and premium components to ensure peak performance:
- Highly efficient Copeland compressor for reliable, energy-conscious operation.
- Double-walled vertical tube evaporators to maximize ice production and heat exchange efficiency.
- Hot Gas Defrost for rapid harvest and faster production recovery.
- Harvest Hold (PHC) technology to maintain consistent defrost cycles in varying conditions.
- No moving parts in the freezing zone, reducing wear and extending service life.
- All stainless steel welded construction for durability and resistance to harsh environments.
- USDA approved for safe use in food production.
Built for Reliability
Every industrial ice machine from Holiday Ice Inc. is factory-assembled, fully charged, and tested before shipment. This ensures faster installation, immediate readiness, and dependable performance from day one. The low-temperature Copeland compressor works seamlessly with the unit’s robust refrigeration system to deliver maximum output while maintaining long-term reliability.
Designed for Outdoor Use
The ARCTIC-TEMP® Model 1500RCU is built to handle tough conditions. Its stainless steel welded construction resists corrosion, while its refrigeration system is engineered for consistent performance outdoors. Whether installed in a processing facility or an open-air environment, this unit delivers reliable operation in all weather conditions.
The Arctic-Temp® Ice Making Process
Like all Arctic-Temp® models, the 1500RCU produces ice on vertically suspended, double-walled cylindrical evaporators. This process utilizes 100% of the evaporator surface, resulting in the hardest, coldest cracked ice possible while maintaining high energy efficiency. By eliminating moving parts in the freezing zone, the design reduces maintenance and extends the unit’s lifespan.
A Smart Investment for Demanding Industries
The ARCTIC-TEMP® Model 1500RCU is more than just a high-output machine — it’s a dependable solution for businesses that require consistent ice production around the clock.
