Scotsman Technology Advantages

AgION
Scotsman is proud to offer (in most of its models) AgION a silver based, anti-microbial compound that reduces the growth of bacteria, microorganisms, algae, mold and slime on ice machine surfaces.
This innovation makes available to Scotsman Ice Maker customers a specific, reliable and durable technology against ice microbial contamination, a feature which is to be appreciated, especially in this day-and-age where hygiene cannot be compromised.

THC - Total Hygiene Concept
There is no better food-grade material than stainless steel. Scotsman machines are built with stainless steel frames and side panels for rust free durability, ease of cleaning and hygiene. Large and accessible ice storage areas allow for quick and easy sanitising routine.

ESS - Energy Saving System
The ESS optimises the efficiency of the production cycle, improving the quality of the ice and reducing operating costs.

PWD - Progressive Water Discharge
PWD solves all your drainage height or distance problems. Place your ice maker just where you need it, up to 15 metres away and 1.5 metres lower than the actual drain outlet and the pump will remove any drain water without having to rely on gravity. It will also help avoid algae and microbes that could build up in any stagnant drain water.

Patented Anti-Scale System
One of the many Scotsman Patents, the Anti-Scale System, allows for an easy, quick and efficient manual disposal of most of the residual minerals that are the natural side effect of water circulation in a closed system. The advantage the system brings is to prevent and reduce problems arising from the scale accumulation into the water circuit. Scale removal provides a higher quality of cube and reduces routine maintenance.

Condenser Air Filter
In order to avoid the progressive volume reduction of ice production, the condenser air filter must be kept free from dust accumulation. Scotsman 6-Series air-cooled machines feature an air filter housed in the proximity of the condenser to stop accumulation of dust.
Highly efficient and user-friendly, the filter can easily be removed from the front side of the unit and the "clean me" light notifies when the filter needs cleaning. Removing the filter and washing it under a tap is a one minute job!

TFS - Touch Free System (Dispensers)
Physical contact with ice may contribute to contamination. Ideally, ice should fall directly into the ice pouch. Truly no-mechanical, one-handed operation provided by the Touch Free System uses its unique infrared sensor to determine when to dispense ice. Ice and water dispensing is also available through the setting selector. The dispensing chute is easily removed for cleaning and sanitisation.

Hygienic Scoop Holder
The best way to prevent contamination of ice is to avoid microbial proliferation on the surfaces in contact with the cubes. The same is true for the ice-scoop. It is paramount to have a safe and clean location to place if after use. The scoop holder has been positioned inside the bin so it is always at hand for quick and hygienic collection of ice and you don't have to go sifting through the ice to find it.

CFS - Co-Axial Flake-ice System (Flakers)
Static evaporators can't cope with the natural shape of flake ice. The best solution is a vertical, cylindrical evaporator with an auger that extrudes ice flakes through an ice breaker. Scotsman has perfected its solid stainless steel evaporator through years of experience applying the advanced technology of direct refrigerant expansion to ice production, offering maximum durability and efficiency.

WPS - Water Purity System (Dice machines)
To remove all minerals that remain after the freezing of one batch of ice, in between production cycles, the water sump is flushed with fresh water prior to starting a new cycle. A different mineral content water will require a different of the wash-out cycle.

In the Prodigy ice machines, a sensing probe measures the electrical conductivity of the water coming from the mains, which varies according to the mineral contents, and adapts the flush cycle duration to the local conditions of water-hardness, avoiding unnecessary waste.
