Increased energy efficiency
in its simplest
configuration!
All the ice machines
in this series feature
the “Fast Drop” system,
to reduce the harvest
cycle and power
consumption, while
electronic components
have been simplified,
allowing for one of the
best Price/Value ratio’s
in the market.
State-of-the-Art
technology applied
to ice-making: standard features
are the “Fast Drop” system
for the reduction of the
harvest cycle duration and
the “Water Sense” system
for the automatic control
of the water hardness and
optimisation of the water
consumption - evermore
important in a world where
the smarter use of a precious
resource such as water
is becoming more and more
relevant.
Scotsman proudly introduces “Prodigy”, state-of-the-art
technology part of our on-going effort to reduce the
consumption of utilities in ice making! The Prodigy technology,
made available in Scotsman Vertical Evaporator Cubers Line
in 2008, is based upon three key assumptions:

The “All US-made” line within the
Prodigy Series offers a great number
of models and capacities to meet any
requirement in terms of ice cube
consumption. The main feature in this line
of ice machines is the side-mounted
evaporator, which leaves an easy front
access to all the main components.
Daily capacities range from 150 to
1,000 kg of ice-cubes, available in dice
or half-dice size. Prodigy Ice Machines,
the Smart Choice in ice.
Energy Saving: the automation of the “harvest” system
for the detachment of the ice-cubes from the evaporator
plate “waffle”, using the dual action of thermal and
mechanical effects. Reducing the last phase of the produc-
tion cycle - the actual defrost - to a matter of just 30
seconds, i.e. one-sixth of the time required by a stand-
ard ice-cuber.
This reduction translates into a significant improvement in
terms of energy efficiency, as the working time of the
compressor in its reversed cycle is reduced accordingly.
Water Saving: we often consider mains water in urban
areas to be of constant quality. On the contrary, the quality
of water can vary a great deal, even in the same
location.
To remove any 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.
Consequently, a different mineral content water will
require a different length of wash-out cycle. In Prodigy
ice machines, a sensing probe measures the electrical
conductivity of the water coming from the mains, which
varies according to the mineral content, and adapts the
flush cycle duration to the local conditions of water-
hardness, avoiding unnecessary waste.
The smart way of reducing water consumption!
Labour Saving: the new ice machine is a “Prodigy” in
name and deed: the self-diagnosis control board allows
for unpre- cedented ease of use and maintenance. All
the units’ functions are visually presented by the means of
codes, easy to understand for both the technician and the
end user, thus greatly reducing training needs for routine
maintenance operations and trouble shooting.
When ice requirements are erratic through the working
week, the Prodigy Varismart kit, offered as an option,
allows to program the daily maximum level of ice allowed
into the bin according to the actual ice demand.
This translates into an increased versati- lity of the unit
and a smarter use of energy and water, whilst consist-
ently ensuring “fresh”, peak quality ice in the storage bin.
The revolutionary Prodigy technology
is currently available in three different
configurations:
VDS – Vertical Dice System
Same evaporator style as in the Scotsman Contour System (Vertical Evaporator) -
the ice type prtoduced by the Prodigy is the "traditional" dice cube, best used in
those market segments where great quantities of ice are required.
WPS - Water Purity System
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
length 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. The smart way of reducing water consumption!
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 a quick and easy sanitising routine.
AgION-Scotsman is proud to offer (in most of its models) AgION™ a
silverbased anti-microbial compound that reduces the growth of
bacteria, micro-organisms, algae, mould and slime on ice machine
surfaces.This innovation makes available to Scotsman customers a
specific, reliable, and durable technology against ice microbial contamination, feature
which is to be appreciated especially in this day-and-age: hygiene cannot be
compromised!
On-Off Main Switch
Eye-catching illuminated main switch ensures ease of operation in superb style!
Proximity Condenser Air Filter
To avoid reduction in your ice maker capacity, air cooled condensers need to
be kept free from dust and grease. The Scotsman proximity air filter is
mounted next to the condenser, for best air filtration results. Simple and
effective, the Scotsman proximity filter is conveniently accessible from the front panel. When
the "clean me" light flashes, the manual cleaning routine takes only one minute!
Internet Enabled Units
Complete Internet Connectivity brought to your Scotsman ice machine.
Easily connect and exchange information over the Internet for remote
diagnosis of operational and technical issues.
Direct access to machine data through a non-dedicated phone line allows for remote
machine management & troubleshooting:
• real-time service alarms • information on technical problems provided by email before
service call is dispatched • pro-active maintenance • based upon equipment running time vs.
calendar schedule • control of machine’s cleaning cycles and maintenance • remote
programming of ice production cycles.
Varismart®
Optional electronic control added to the Smart Board allows for
programming of the ice level into the bin for a one week period,
ensuring the best quality of ice and a smart use of utilities.
