Overview

Scotsman ECS 57 AS OX Self-Contained Gourmet Ice Maker with EcoX and XSafe Technology

The Scotsman ECS 57 AS OX is a self-contained, air-cooled gourmet ice maker built for cafés, bars, restaurants, and smaller hotel operations that require dependable ice quality within a compact footprint. Capable of producing up to 31 kg of crystal-clear gourmet ice cubes every 24 hours and retaining up to 12 kg in its integrated storage bin, this unit pairs Scotsman's EcoX technology with the environmentally responsible R290 natural hydrocarbon refrigerant to reduce energy consumption and lower overall environmental impact.

Two core technologies distinguish this machine: XSafe, a natural sanitation system that harnesses high-power ultraviolet light to produce a reactive oxygen mixture, continuously neutralising bacteria, viruses, mould, and yeast around the clock for hygienic, odourless ice; and Agion antimicrobial technology incorporated into all ice-contact surfaces to further suppress microbial growth. The outcome is a slow-melting, perfectly transparent gourmet cube measuring 21 mm in diameter by 25 mm in height and weighing 8 g per piece, well suited to cocktails, premium spirits, and cold beverages of all kinds.

Key Benefits

• Delivers up to 31 kg of gourmet ice per 24 hours, ensuring a continuous and reliable supply for small to medium-volume venues.
• Crystal-clear, slow-melting cubes minimise dilution and maintain beverage temperature for longer, enhancing drink presentation and quality.
• XSafe natural sanitation runs automatically around the clock, using UV light and reactive oxygen to destroy bacteria, mould, viruses, and yeast without any chemical additives.
• EcoX technology with R290 natural hydrocarbon refrigerant achieves strong energy efficiency and a substantially reduced environmental footprint compared with synthetic refrigerant alternatives.
• The built-in 12 kg storage bin keeps ice readily available without the need for a separate bin purchase or extra floor space.
• PWD progressive water discharge pump handles excess water removal over distances of up to 15 metres, giving installation flexibility in tight or complex kitchen environments.
• The condenser air filter is positioned at the front of the unit, can be detached without tools, and is fully washable, making routine upkeep straightforward and helping sustain peak operating performance.
• An ergonomically designed retractable door with a dampened closing action allows smooth, effortless access to the ice storage compartment during busy service periods.
• A front-panel alarm indicator light notifies staff of upcoming maintenance requirements, allowing issues to be addressed before they affect ice output.
