Follett 7UC100A Ice Machine & Dispenser – 100 lb/Day Chewblet Nugget Ice, Undercounter

Follett 7UC100A Ice Machine Dispenser — Follett 7UC100A Ice Machine & Dispenser – Champion 7 Undercounter Chewblet Nugget Ice

The Follett 7UC100A ice machine dispenser is a Champion 7 Series air-cooled undercounter unit built to make and dispense Follett’s signature Chewblet nugget ice: a soft, chewable, slow-melting compressed ice that offices, clinics, and hospitality operators consistently prefer. In a single compact cabinet it produces up to 100 lb of ice in 24 hours and holds 7 lb in on-board storage, dispensing on demand at the touch of a capacitive-touch panel rather than requiring staff to scoop from an open bin.

This exact configuration — model 7UC100A-NW-CF-ST-00 — is the ice-only (no water tap), internal-filter, stainless-steel build. Its standout feature is Follett’s drainless design: the unit refreezes melt water from the storage hopper instead of sending it to a drain, so it can be installed virtually anywhere there is water and electricity, with no dedicated floor drain. That flexibility, plus a footprint under 15 inches wide, makes it a practical fit for break rooms, nurse stations, and front-of-house counters where plumbing is limited.

Specifications

Key features

Beyond raw ice output, the Follett 7UC100A ice machine dispenser is engineered around sanitation and low-maintenance operation:

• Chewblet nugget ice — soft, chewable, and displaces beverages well; popular for healthcare, wellness, and premium office settings.
• Drainless installation — refreezes hopper melt so no dedicated drain line is needed, opening up more placement options.
• Internal Claris filter — conditions incoming water to protect the ice-making system and improve ice quality.
• Agion antimicrobial "Shield" protection on key ice- and water-contact components, plus internal UV light and clean-light technology in the dispense area.
• Capacitive-touch dispensing with an upgraded interface, self-help menu, and advanced on-board diagnostics.
• Compact stainless cabinet under 15 inches wide that slides under most standard counters.

About Follett

Follett LLC, based in Easton, Pennsylvania, is a long-established American manufacturer of ice machines, ice-and-water dispensers, and medical-grade refrigeration. The company pioneered Chewblet compressed nugget ice and is widely specified across healthcare, foodservice, and workplace markets for durable, sanitation-focused equipment. Full manufacturer documentation for the Champion 7 undercounter line is published on the Follett Ice Champion 7 page, and Follett equipment is NSF-certified for commercial use.

Where this machine earns its keep

With a 100 lb/day ceiling and 7 lb of ready storage, the 7UC100A is sized for steady point-of-use demand rather than bulk bagging. It typically suits offices and break rooms, medical and dental practices, urgent-care and clinic nurse stations, gyms and wellness studios, hotel pantries, and cafe or self-serve beverage counters — anywhere staff or guests want fresh nugget ice without an open bin.

Because it is drainless and only 14.62 inches wide, it fits tight service areas where a full drain-connected machine would be impractical. For higher-throughput sites, Follett also builds 125 lb Champion 7 variants; if you are unsure which capacity fits your traffic, our team can help you right-size it.

Nugget ice is also easier on equipment and people than hard cube ice: it is gentler to chew, blends smoothly into frozen and iced beverages, and packs tightly around bottles and cans in a cooler. For a healthcare or wellness location, that softer texture is often the deciding factor over a standard cube machine. Operators also appreciate that on-demand dispensing keeps hands out of the ice, which supports cleaner service in patient-facing and food-service settings where an open storage bin would raise sanitation concerns.
