Ice Machine Sanitation
Enhanced sanitation solutions made simple
Sanitation by design. It’s not a reaction. It’s not a fad. It’s what Manitowoc has built into every ice machine for decades. From the color of the plastics we use (white to better identify contaminants), to a front-facing evaporator for easy access and thorough cleaning, to the LuminIce® II UV growth inhibitor, Manitowoc designs and builds ice machines with food safety in mind.

You need to keep your ice machine running smoothly, and most importantly, producing clean, safe ice that you’ll be proud to serve your guests!
LuminIce II Virus and Bacteria Inhibitor
LuminIce II Virus and Bacteria Inhibitor
Sanitation Solution
LuminIce is an advanced sanitation device which defends against viruses, bacteria, mold and yeast using chemical-free ultraviolet light technology. The device creates “active air” by circulating air inside the ice machine foodzone over a sterilizing UV light. As this treated air passes over exposed foodzone components, it inhibits the growth of yeast, bacteria, and other common microorganisms.
The benefits of the device include improved sanitation, performance, and a better bottom line. Treating the air for viruses, bacteria and microorganisms results in a machine that stays clean longer. This means less labor and downtime during scheduled cleanings. Clean machines also perform better, producing ice efficiently and with less strain on machine components. A small investment in LuminIce improves your bottom line through fewer professional cleanings and less downtime to complete them.
Whether your operation is a challenging environment, such as a bar or pizza parlor, or if sanitation is top of mind, there’s no better way to defend against viruses and bacteria in your ice machine than with LuminIce® II.
Standard Features
- Defends Against Viruses and Bacteria – uses a uniquely designed 254 nm UVC germicidal class light and 185 nm UVV light to create COP (Cold Oxygen Plasma)
- Reduced Yeast and Bacteria Growth – proven by independent lab testing to inhibit the growth of yeast and bacteria for a cleaner foodzone
- Easier Cleaning – reduced slime build up speeds the regularly scheduled cleaning process.
- Fully Integrated Design – device mounts inside the Indigo NXT ice machine, powered by the board and is fully integrated with the easyTouch display
- Easy to Use - no chemicals to add or maintain. Only a simple UV bulb change is recommended once a year to maintain effectiveness. Note: Indigo NXT provides a sanitation icon in the easyTouch display that changes from blue to red when it's time to change the bulb. Note: Use kit K00474 kit to convert LuminIce II kits (K00450 and K00451) for Indigo to work with Indigo NXT

AuCS Automatic Cleaning System
AUCS Automatic Cleaning System
An efficient, dependable, and affordable accessory that schedules and preforms routine ice machine cleaning automatically.
The innovative AuCS accessory virtually eliminates the need to have a service technician preform manual cleaning procedures on the water distribution system of your Manitowoc ice machine.
It is a known fact that regularly scheduled preventative maintenance (cleaning) reduces the total operating cost of any ice machine. With AuCS, you simply select the monthly cleaning frequency through the Indigo display (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 months) and AuCS does the rest…automatically. AuCS is also affordable, as the entire system costs less than the expense of 3 manual cleanings. AuCS is designed for use with Manitowoc Indigo Series ice machines.
Standard Features
- Exterior finish is stainless steel.
- Flexible design allows unit to be mounted on bin or wall
- The AuCS accessory can dispense either cleaner or sanitizer
- Cleaner is used to remove and control buildup of lime scale or other mineral deposits
- Sanitizer is used to control algae (slime) and other airborne bacteria (yeast)

How LuminIce Works
UV light acts on the oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor in the air stream passing across the bulb to create photoplasma. Photoplasma is a gas that is fully ionized by UV light containing ions, free electrons, hydroxyl radicals, and ozone. Each of which is highly reactive with any microorganisms it encounters within the foodzone. This "active air" is continually recirculated within the foodzone inhibiting microorganism growth.
Air from behind the evaporator passes by a germicidal class 254 nm UVC light and is sterilized. Then a 185 nm UVV light acts on the oxygen and water vapor in the air stream as it passes by the bulb to create photoplasma. Cold Oxygen Plasma is a gas that is ionized by UVV light containing ions, free electrons, hydroxyl radicals and ozone. Each of which is highly reactive with the microorganisms it encounters in the foodzone. This active air is continually recirculated within the foodzone, inhibiting virus and bacteria growth.
Keep the water used in your ice machines safe and clean while reducing costly maintenance calls
This system uses a built-in scale inhibitor with 20 grams of Siliphos to reduce buildup in pipes, on evaporator plates, or in other components - even under the hardest water conditions. A graded density carbon block filter provides superior dirt retention and reduces fine sediment, while the filtration media helps reduce chlorine taste and odor. Its 1 micron rating keeps unwanted microbes out of your water, ensuring excellent purity and protection from harm.
The AR-10000 Arctic Pure single cartridge water filtration system can handle water temperatures ranging from 35-100 degrees Fahrenheit and has a maximum flow rate of 0.75 GPM. The maximum capacity is rated at 14,000 gallons. This system can supply filtered water for up to 600 lbs. of ice per day and features a 3/8” inlet that easily connects to existing plumbing lines. It features automatic shut-off and pressure relief valves for additional safety and efficiency.

HINGED DOOR WITH ALPHASAN & DURATECH TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION
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. ALPHASAN is a silver-based antimicrobial additive incorporated into foodzone plastics that protects against odors, discoloration and other problems caused by microbial contamination. DURATECH® exterior resists smudging and corrosion, and cleans easily.
FRONT-FACING EVAPORATOR DESIGN FOR EASIER CLEANING
Easy and safe access to clean. Other manufacturers’ models 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. When performing 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.
SEALED FOOD ZONE TO KEEP CONTAMINANTS OUT
You won’t find more robust foodzone sealing than in the Indigo® NXT. Both the front door and the top of the foodzone are sealed with heavy-duty rubber gaskets, which effectively keeps contaminated air out.
