Overview

Scotsman NW 608 AS OX 290kg XSafe Modular Dice Ice Maker

The Scotsman NW 608 AS OX is a high-capacity modular dice ice maker producing up to 290 kg of crystal-clear, solid dice cubes every 24 hours, making it well suited to restaurants, bars, hotels, and catering operations with demanding ice requirements. Each cube measures 22 mm x 22 mm x 22 mm and weighs approximately 10 g, offering a large surface area that promotes rapid chilling in beverages, bulk cooling applications, and ice bagging. The air-cooled unit ships as a head-only machine and must be paired with a compatible Scotsman storage bin to form a complete modular ice system.

Hygiene and sustainability sit at the core of the NW 608 AS OX design. The XSafe Natural Sanitation System uses high-power ultraviolet light to generate a reactive oxygen mixture that continuously eliminates bacteria, mould, yeast, and viruses throughout the machine, producing clean and odourless ice around the clock. Agion antimicrobial technology further resists microbial growth and odour development across ice-contact surfaces. The unit is built from T304 grade stainless steel and uses the EcoX R290 natural hydrocarbon refrigerant, reflecting Scotsman's commitment to durable, environmentally responsible commercial equipment.

Key Benefits

• Delivers up to 290 kg of dice ice per 24 hours to keep pace with the demands of high-volume foodservice and beverage service without interruption.
• XSafe UV-based natural sanitation operates automatically 24/7, eliminating bacteria, mould, yeast, and viruses to ensure food-safe, odourless ice at all times.
• Agion antimicrobial technology embedded in ice-contact surfaces provides an additional layer of protection against microbial growth and unpleasant odours.
• Classic 22 mm dice cubes melt slowly and present clearly in glassware, improving drink quality, appearance, and yield for cocktails and soft drinks.
• Large dice cube surface area accelerates heat exchange, chilling beverages and bulk product faster than smaller ice formats.
• One-touch cleaning mode simplifies routine maintenance, saving labour time and helping staff keep the machine in peak hygienic condition.
• Front evaporator access and auto-alert indicator lights make servicing and monitoring operation status straightforward, minimising downtime.
• Top air discharge design allows installation in narrow spaces where side clearance is limited, offering greater flexibility in kitchen layouts.
• EcoX R290 natural hydrocarbon refrigerant delivers energy-efficient operation with a low environmental impact compared to traditional synthetic refrigerants.
