Product Description
The Manitowoc Indigo NXT iT1900 is a large-capacity modular ice machine producing half dice ice at a rate of 819kg per 24 hours, paired with the D970 storage bin which holds up to 323kg. At this scale, the combination is intended for operations where ice demand is constant, high, and non-negotiable — not somewhere that a smaller unit has been pushed beyond its limits.
In busy service environments, the iT1900 is well suited to sustained, heavy demand across long operating days. The machine is designed to continue producing at full output even when ambient temperatures reach 43°C, which matters in kitchen or back-of-house environments that run hot during service. The integrated diagnostics monitor the ice-making process in real time, flagging inefficiencies or early signs of maintenance requirements before they become operational problems. When demand drops, the machine adjusts accordingly to avoid unnecessary energy consumption, then ramps back up when output is needed.
Practical operational advantages include:
- Consistent half dice ice output suited to high-volume beverage, food prep, and display applications
- Large onboard storage reduces the frequency of production cycles required to meet demand
- Diagnostic system supports planned maintenance rather than reactive repair
- Designed to operate reliably in warm ambient conditions without loss of output
- Energy modulation reduces running costs during lower-demand periods
This is a substantial piece of equipment — the combined unit stands over two metres tall and requires a dedicated, level installation space with adequate clearance for airflow and servicing access. Water supply and drain connections are required, and a correctly sized water filtration system is strongly recommended; limescale accumulation is one of the most common causes of premature wear and ice quality deterioration in high-output machines, and at this capacity the consequences of neglecting filtration are significant. Electrical supply requirements should be confirmed at the planning stage. Installation by a qualified engineer is advised.
The iT1900 is best suited to high-volume venues where ice supply is operationally critical — large hotels, stadium and arena catering, central production kitchens, busy bars, or large-scale food retail environments. For operations with more modest but still substantial requirements, smaller-output models within the Indigo NXT range may be a more appropriate and cost-effective fit. For sites with demand that regularly exceeds what a single unit can support, a multi-machine configuration may be worth discussing.
If you are unsure whether this output level matches your site's realistic daily demand, or have questions about installation requirements, our team is happy to talk through the details before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- An 819kg daily output is designed for genuinely high-volume sites — large hotels, arenas, central production facilities, or busy licensed venues where ice is in constant demand across long service periods. If your realistic daily requirement is significantly below this, a smaller-capacity model in the Indigo NXT range is likely a better fit both operationally and economically. It is worth calculating your actual peak-day demand, not just average usage, before specifying at this scale.
- You will need a mains water supply connection, a suitable drain, and an electrical supply matched to the machine's requirements — all of which should be confirmed with your installer at the planning stage. The combined unit is over two metres tall and weighs 131kg, so adequate floor loading, clear access for delivery, and sufficient space around the unit for airflow and servicing are all important considerations. A properly specified water filtration system should be treated as a mandatory installation requirement, not an optional extra.
- Limescale is one of the leading causes of reduced output, poor ice quality, and premature component failure in commercial ice machines — and the higher the throughput, the faster limescale can accumulate. At 819kg per day, an unfiltered water supply will cause damage more quickly than on smaller units, and repair or replacement costs at this scale are substantial. Fitting an appropriate inline water filter from the outset is strongly recommended and will protect the machine's performance and longevity.
