Scotsman AF Series ice cream machine
The Scotsman AF series ice cream machine is a high-performance solution for producing flake ice with low energy, water and time consumption. Specially designed for use in the food service industry, it enables a consistently high ice yield. Numerous features, such as the antimicrobial Agion technology and the automated cleaning notification, ensure maximum hygiene and reliability. Unlike the [KBS FlakesPlus 60], users benefit from an integrated storage bin, which facilitates installations even where space is limited.
Description
Developed in cooperation with HIBU ice cream machines, the AF series impresses with user-friendly details, robust materials and a wide range of model variants. With a maximum daily production of up to 200 kg of flake ice (depending on the model), it offers a wide selection for any size of business. The internal "water in/ice out" concept avoids unnecessary consumption of energy and resources, as excess energy and water are reduced to a minimum.
Special attention is paid to the extended maintenance cycle: the front-accessible condenser air filter only requires a few simple steps for cleaning, which saves time and money. The integrated cleaning indicator flashes as soon as the filter needs cleaning, ensuring perfect ice production at all times. Similar to the [NordCap F80], ergonomic access via a sliding door ensures that service staff can access the ice quickly - making work much easier at peak times.
Technical highlights
- Available with different condenser systems (air or water-cooled)
- Front-accessible air filter for time-saving self-cleaning
- Agion technology with antimicrobial effect
- Daily output of 73 to 200 kg flake ice (depending on model)
- Built-in storage bin for up to 60 kg of ice
- PWD water drainage system on EF version for flexible installation
- Temperature range (air) from 10 °C to 43 °C
The individual models (AF 80, AF 103, AF 124, AF 156, AF 206) differ primarily in terms of production, container capacity and dimensions in order to meet different requirements. All variants are available in air or water-cooled versions and use a reliable refrigerant (R134a or R404A). Thanks to its electronic control system, the machine remains stable in operation even in fluctuating ambient conditions and always delivers consistently high ice quality on demand.
Certifications and standards
The AF series generally meets all standard industry requirements. Current EU directives (e.g. CE marking) are complied with, which is particularly important for businesses in the food industry or catering sector. The high-quality design and the intelligent Agion system support low-germ ice production and increase the service life of the components.
Application examples
- Fish and seafood counters: the easily moldable flake ice keeps fresh catch optimally chilled and presents it attractively without damaging the product
.
- Buffets and salad bars: The even cooling of food in self-service areas prevents temperature fluctuations and ensures freshness for longer.
- Beverage production: Thanks to its high purity, flake ice can be used directly for beverage preparation.
- Wine coolers and champagne coolers: Thanks to its snow density, flake ice encloses bottles and keeps them at a pleasant temperature for your guests.
FAQs
How often does the filter need to be cleaned?
The machine's filter should be checked at regular intervals. The cleaning notification indicator flashes as soon as cleaning is due.
What is special about the Agion technology?
Agion uses antimicrobial properties that are only activated when germs form. This inhibits the growth of unwanted microorganisms inside the machine.
Can the machine also be installed at higher drainage heights?
Yes, with the optional PWD water drainage system (EF series), waste water can be pumped over a distance of up to 15 meters and a maximum height of 1.70 meters.
What kind of ice does the machine produce?
It is flake ice, which is characterized by a temperature just below 0 °C and a residual water content of 25% or 15% (super flake).
How does the ambient temperature affect ice production?
The powerful electronics largely compensate for temperature fluctuations. According to the manufacturer, the machine can be operated at air temperatures between 10 °C and 43 °C.
Conclusion
This ice machine offers an excellent combination of effective ice production and high operational safety. The clever design facilitates care and maintenance, while Agion technology and electronic controls ensure clean and reliable ice production. Especially in busy professional establishments, it is worth investing in durable components and innovative features that make daily operations more efficient.
