The Supercube is the most popular type of ice cube – ideal for coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, and clubs. Made in the famous Scotsman thimble shape, they are available in four different sizes.

Their clarity makes them the perfect choice for drinks presentation whilst their purity ensures that they are slow melt. Their unique shape means that these cubes are less prone to sticking together in the ice bucket as well as being easier to handle than the more traditional square cube.

Supercubes are made by spraying water upwards into an inverted mould. Inverting the mould means that any sediment or impurities in the water fall back down, leaving only pure water to form the cube making these cubes very hard.

Cubelet ice is made from pieces of hard compacted flake ice, which have a slow melt rate. Cubelet ice machines are perfect for busy quick service restaurants, bars and all other food service operators as it can be produced quickly and in large quantities relative to the machines foot print. The compressed ‘pellets’ of ice have high displacement making it the ideal ice for soft drinks, especially for those who offer ‘bottomless’ refills.

The Scotsman EC 47 is a compact Series 6 Supercuber, fitting easily back of bar, front of house or in the kitchen. Capable of producing individual transparent solid cubes formed by spraying water onto a subcooled horizontal evaporator. Each single cube is an artwork: crystal clear and perfectly shaped, faithful to the Scotsman tradition.

For over 50 years Scotsman has been one of the world's leading manufacturers of ice machines and ancillary products.

The shape of dice cubes provides maximum liquid displacement making this type of ice cube ideal for general purpose cooling of drinks. They can be made very quickly and are ideal for outlets needing high volumes of ice, such as fast food outlets. Also a great general purpose ice cube used throughout the hospitality industry, dice cubes are available in three different sizes; half dice, dice and large dice to any application. The 'softer' texture of dice ice makes it the ideal ice for blended smoothies and cocktails as it smashes quickly without putting excessive strain on blender bearings. Water is poured over the surface of a vertical evaporator grid plate with each cube forming in a cell on the grid. This is the most cost-efficient system where volume is the prime importance. The machine is compact and therefore requires less floor space than a machine with a horizontal evaporator.
