Automatic ice dispensing systems and self-service operations are becoming evermore popular in modern Foodservice concepts By far the dryest and hardest form of Flake ice, it is produced at just below zero degrees Celsius just like all other flake ice forms, but it is then compressed to remove excess residual water, reducing it to as low as 10% of its original volume They allow customers to cool their drinks as per their own taste, making it easy and preventing any potential sanitary hazards: clear and pure ice bits drop directly into the consumer ‚¬ „¢s glass, with no manipulation This line, in its different versions, is now available in the ‚¬Å“Long Range ‚¬ _x009d_ version that offers an unprecedented 9kg in-built bin, keeping the same dimension as the original 5 kg version For those locations where the dimension of the counter are limited, we are offering the ‚¬Å“Short ‚¬ _x009d_ version, whose depth has been reduced by close to 6 cm, allowing for installation on most counters. The capacity of the storage bin will not change though, granting the same amount (5 kg) of Scotsman ‚¬Å“Cubelet ‚¬ _x009d_ super compressed ice.

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.

Flaked Ice is the most natural shape. Extruded at a temperature just below zero degrees. Scotsman flaked ice suits a variety of applications including foodservice, fisheries, laboratories and industry. Flake Ice offers the best solution for maintaining refrigerated perishables where long-lasting freshness and natural appearance need to be guaranteed.

Scotsman’s flaked ice’s ability to rapidly cool items immersed in it makes it the ideal ice choice for medical, research and laboratory applications.

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.
