The FD480 combines the high-capacity FD450 platform — 24 individually controlled drawers and 4 refrigeration compressors — with the continuous operating principle of the FD470: an external bottom cold trap with automatic defrost. The result is up to 250 kg of ice extraction per cycle, or unlimited continuous operation in Infinity Mode.
WAVE FD480
The FD480 is a unique machine featuring proprietary technology developed by WAVE. It can operate in three distinct modes:
FD440 Mode
Ice is collected directly inside the main chamber, just like in the FD440 and FD450. Fast and highly effective — up to 130 kg of ice per cycle.
Infinity Mode
Moisture is collected in an external cold trap at the bottom of the machine. Once the trap is full, it automatically defrosts and continues drying. The main chamber always remains dry, and the process essentially has no capacity limit.
Boost Mode
The process starts by using the bottom cold trap, then switches to cooling the main chamber as well. Combined, up to 250 kg of ice can be extracted in a single cycle — ideal for high-moisture products such as coffee, milk and other liquids.
