Overview

Scotsman ECM 177 AS OX Self-Contained Air-Cooled Gourmet Ice Maker with EcoX and XSafe Technologies

The Scotsman ECM 177 AS OX is a self-contained, air-cooled gourmet ice maker capable of delivering a maximum output of 83 kg of crystal-clear ice within any 24-hour period, paired with an integrated 48 kg storage bin that ensures a ready supply throughout the busiest service periods. Every cube is individually formed to 30 mm diameter by 34 mm tall and weighs 20 g, producing the dense, slow-melting result that premium bars, restaurants, and hotels rely on for cocktails, spirits, and fine beverage service.

Two signature Scotsman technologies define this machine's performance. EcoX harnesses the natural hydrocarbon refrigerant R290, one of the lowest global-warming-potential refrigerants available, minimising energy draw without compromising output. XSafe is the integrated natural sanitation system that operates around the clock, employing high-power ultraviolet light to create a reactive oxygen mixture that continuously neutralises bacteria, viruses, mould, and yeast inside the unit, so every cube delivered is pure, odourless, and ready for service.

Key Benefits

• A maximum daily output of 83 kg means the machine keeps pace with high-volume hospitality demands, maintaining a continuous supply without interruption throughout peak service.
• At 20 g per cube, the slow-melting gourmet format holds drink temperature for longer and dilutes beverages more gradually, preserving both flavour and presentation.
• XSafe sanitation operates continuously, 24 hours a day without chemical additives, eradicating pathogens and reducing long-term maintenance requirements to support lower total ownership costs.
• EcoX with R290 refrigerant achieves strong energy efficiency at just 13.7 kWh per 24-hour cycle while significantly lowering environmental impact relative to synthetic refrigerants.
• The PWD progressive water discharge system is capable of moving surplus water a distance of up to 15 metres, giving flexible drain placement options that simplify installation in difficult kitchen layouts.
• Agion antimicrobial technology embedded in ice-contact surfaces actively inhibits microbial growth and odour formation, supporting consistent ice purity between cleaning intervals.
• A front-access condenser air filter that can be detached and cleaned, combined with a front-panel maintenance alarm light, keeps routine servicing fast and reduces the risk of prolonged downtime.
• The ice access door features an integrated disappearing panel and a dampened closing action, making bin access more convenient and controlled during high-demand service periods.
• Standard 10 A power supply compatibility at 230-240 V 50 Hz means the unit can be installed in most commercial venues without the need for specialist electrical work.
