The True Refrigeration TCIM-522-HA1-A, also known as the TI-522-MA-S1-A in the True Ice Series, is a high-capacity commercial cube-style ice maker designed for professional foodservice environments. Featuring self-contained, air-cooled refrigeration, it produces up to 550 pounds of half-size cubes per 24 hours. Its insulated and sealed TrueNcapsuL8 evaporator combined with advanced electronic controls and a 4.3" touch display ensures reliable operation, precise ice level monitoring, and easy management. Built with durability in mind, this model's aluminum exterior finish, energy-efficient R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, and compliance-ready design make it ideal for restaurants, bars, and catering operations seeking consistent, high-volume ice production with minimal maintenance.

This ice maker provides precise control through a touchscreen interface, facilitating easy operation in medium-volume foodservice settings. Its robust aluminum exterior and sealed evaporator ensure longevity and sanitation. Designed for efficient workflow integration, it supports high daily ice output, suitable for busy commercial kitchens requiring reliable, ready-to-serve ice. Its self-contained air-cooled condenser simplifies installation and maintenance, making it well-suited for placement in compact or dedicated ice stations where durability and performance are critical.

Ideal for high-volume foodservice environments requiring consistent ice supply and ease of operation.

This commercial ice maker features self-contained refrigeration with air cooling, optimizing operational simplicity for busy foodservice settings. It produces between 501 and 600 pounds of half-size cubes daily, arranged in a cube-style (half dice) output suitable for establishments like restaurants, bars, or catering facilities. The unit is constructed with durable aluminum exterior, measures 20-29 inches in width, 22 inches in height, and 24 inches deep, weighing 180 lbs. It operates on standard commercial power conditions, with specifications aligned to UL and cULus requirements, and is ENERGY STAR® certified for energy efficiency. The product uses R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, with a safe operating temperature range, and features a sealed, insulated evaporator for sanitary maintenance. It is designed for seamless installation, requiring appropriate airflow clearance, and features straightforward maintenance routines such as panel removal for cleaning and filter inspection. Additional practical considerations include proper electrical connection, ventilation, and space allocation for optimal airflow and drainage, ensuring reliable, continuous ice production. Its corrosion-resistant finish supports longevity in various environments, including high-humidity kitchens or bar areas.
