Manitowoc has the widest offering of enhanced sanitation solutions built into their ice machines.
Hinged door to prevent contamination Who knew hinges could be a sanitation feature? Unlike other manufacturers who require you to completely remove the front panel, the Indigo NXT has hinges, so you don’t need to set it aside and risk exposure to contaminants when performing regular de-scaling and sanitizing.
Front-facing evaporator design for easier cleaning Easy and safe access to clean. Other manufacturers’ models either require a ladder and even a special a 3-foot brush to descale the evaporator from the top! Many require you to move equipment to gain access from the sides.
Rounded corners make regular wipe-downs easy and prevent contaminants from building up in hard-to-reach corners.
Sealed food zone to keep contaminants out You won’t find more robust food-zone sealing than in the Indigo® NXT. Both the front door and the top of the food zone are sealed with heavy-duty rubber gaskets, which effectively keeps contaminated air out.
No tools required for detailed cleaning When performing a detailed cleanings on both Indigo NXT and Neo, all the component parts that need to be removed for sanitizing and de-scaling can be removed in a matter of minutes—without the use of tools.
AlphaSan is a silver-based antimicrobial additive incorporated into food zone plastics that protects against odors, discoloration and other problems caused by microbial contamination. Works by releasing a silver ion exclusively in conditions that are conducive to bacterial growth.
DuraTech® exterior resists smudging and corrosion, and cleans easily.
