The Scotsman thimble-shaped, patented 'Gourmet' ice
cube is pure, hard, compact (with no holes), crystal
clear and slow melting. Its fast chilling action and
slow dilution make drinks taste better and greatly
enhance drink appeal and quality.
Gourmet ice cubes are formed by spraying water onto
a subcooled horizontal evaporator. While the purest
water molecules - the first to freeze - form the ice
cubes, oncoming spray water washes away unfrozen
water minerals that would otherwise start clouding the
forming ice. They instead fall back in the water sump,
and are removed with the water that is flushed out
prior to starting a new freezing cycle.
The Gourmet cube is therefore purer than the
water that it is formed from! With three different
sizes and weights Scotsman offers a wide range to
choose from and a type of ice to meet any requirement
in terms of ease of use and quality results.
Scotsman has been one of the key players in
Countries outside the US for the diffusion of
the square (dice) cube. The cube, with its six
sides, allows for an excellent heat exchange
contact surface, hence, fast chilling of all
drinks. The dice cube adapts very well to any
size and shape of glass. The vertical evapora-
tor, well known and appreciated, allows to
obtain high levels of production at reasonable
operating costs.
The Vertical Cube evaporator technology, which
has been recently upgraded to meet and
exceed stringent water and electricity
consumption limits, is found on Scotsman
MV & MV Prodigy Series. It guarantees excel-
lent operating performance under any
circumstances, even in very "hard" water
conditions.
Equipment Lifetime operating costs are reduced
to a minimum through excellent engineering
and final design of these units.
Nugget and Cubelet ice cubes are made
from compressed flakes of ice. The result:
convenient micro-cubes for multiple uses, in
place of standard cubes or as small, long-
lasting ice nuggets - hygienic and easy
to use. Scotsman applies this technology in
all its ice dispensers in the MDT - TC - NVT
lines, where the needs to have fast ice
dispensing and avoid ice manipulation
find a great solution! Nugget & Cubelet ice
cubes are excellent when used in
conjunction with carbonated drinks: in
fact, they form an ice cube layer that floats
at the drink surface, thus separating the
drink itself from the environment and avoid-
ing its premature oxidation. Micro ice-cubes
are today so well accepted and in
demand that stores on various segments
proudly feature them as an indication of the
level of quality offered to their customers!
Flake Ice is ice in its most natural form,
made at a temperature just below zero
degrees Celsius, it is the easiest to use
and arrange on flat surfaces. Scotsman
offers flake ice in two different variations:
Flake and Super-flake.
Flake ice contains 25% residual water
content, making it very moist. Its flake
shape makes it extremely versatile and very
simple to use effectively. Super-flake ice is
more compact and is extruded just
below zero degrees Celsius, retaining
only 15-18% of residual water, making it
relatively dryer than Flake ice. Super-flake
ice lasts longer, releasing moisture over a
longer period of time without the need for
ice replenishment on the display counter.
Applications for Flake and Super-flake Ice
are multiple: fish display counters in fine
dining restaurants; buffet displays in hotels,
frozen drinks preparation, fresh fruits and
fresh produce presentations; fast chilling of
wine & champagne and so on.
