With a production capacity of up to 290 pounds of ice per day, it strikes an excellent balance between performance and compact design, making it an ideal choice for businesses with moderate ice needs.

One of the key features of the MDB-290 is its energy-efficient operation.

Its robust design is complemented by a user-friendly control panel that simplifies operation and troubleshooting, allowing staff to operate the machine with minimal training.

The MDB-290 incorporates advanced technologies, such as a built-in diagnostic system that alerts users to potential issues before they become critical, thereby minimizing downtime. This feature ensures consistent ice production, which is vital during peak service hours. Additionally, the unit's removable, easy-to-clean components promote hygiene, helping businesses maintain compliance with health standards.
