Why this ice machine earns its place
The Manitowoc Ice FU862 is a countertop nugget ice maker and dispenser. It is intended for drink stations where ice production and dispense need to be handled from one unit rather than a separate ice machine and bin.
Nugget ice is commonly chosen for cold drinks service where the texture of the ice is part of the serve. The countertop dispenser format also helps keep ice access at the point of use, provided the site layout supports safe traffic flow and daily cleaning.
Before specifying the FU862, check the counter position, water supply, drainage route and access for routine hygiene. Ice equipment should be planned around service volume, cleaning discipline and the route staff or customers take to the dispense point.
