Scotsman AF127 Self-Contained Flake Ice Machine (122kg/24hr)

Price Match
The Scotsman AF127 is a self-contained flake ice machine that produces soft, pliable flake ice and holds a working reserve within a single unit. Because both the ice-making and storage functions are combined, there is no need for a separate storage bin, which simplifies installation and reduces the footprint required. Flake ice is well suited to applications where close, even contact with product is important — fish and seafood display, fresh produce countering, blended drinks, and certain food production or healthcare environments are all common uses.
Producing up to 122kg of ice per 24 hours, the AF127 is appropriate for mid- to high-volume sites where ice demand runs consistently through the service day. The integrated storage buffer helps smooth out demand spikes, meaning the machine is not forced into rapid cycling during busy periods — a practical advantage in environments where ice availability cannot be allowed to lapse during service.
Several design decisions reduce the day-to-day management load on operators:
- Integrated Xsafe UV system actively inhibits bacteria, mould, and slime within the machine
- Filter-free air-cooled condenser removes routine filter cleaning from the maintenance schedule
- Front-access design allows servicing without repositioning the unit
- Front-in, front-out airflow makes counter-recessed or built-in installation viable
- Electronic self-diagnostics with external alarm indicators flag developing faults early
Installation requires a mains cold water supply and a drain connection. The air-cooled condenser does not require a water-cooled circuit, but adequate ambient ventilation is essential — enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces will reduce output consistency. In hard water areas, a suitable water filtration system is strongly recommended; scale build-up degrades both ice quality and machine output over time, and inadequate filtration may affect warranty coverage.
The AF127 is well suited to food service counters, bar and hospitality operations, fishmongers, and light production environments that require reliable flake ice at consistent volume throughout the day. Sites with lower or more intermittent ice demand may find a smaller self-contained unit offers better energy economy. For large-scale operations requiring significantly greater daily output, a higher-capacity model would be worth considering.
If you are weighing up whether flake ice is the right format for your operation, or want to talk through the ventilation and water supply requirements for your specific site, we are happy to discuss it before you commit to a purchase.
Frequently asked questions
Is 122kg per 24 hours enough output for a busy food counter or bar?
For most mid-volume hospitality or food retail operations — a busy fish counter, a bar running through a full service day, or a café using flake ice in blended drinks — 122kg per 24 hours is a practical working figure. However, actual usable output depends on ambient temperature, water supply conditions, and how consistently the machine runs, so it is worth discussing your peak demand pattern with us before deciding whether this capacity is the right fit.
What are the key installation requirements for the AF127?
The unit needs a mains cold water connection, a suitable drain, and sufficient ambient ventilation — the air-cooled condenser expels heat into the surrounding space, so enclosed or poorly ventilated positions will affect output. In hard water areas, a water filtration system is strongly recommended and may be a warranty requirement, so it is worth factoring that into your installation plan from the outset.
Why choose flake ice over cubed or nugget ice for food display?
Flake ice is soft and pliable, which means it packs tightly and evenly around irregular-shaped produce such as fish, shellfish, or fresh vegetables, maintaining consistent surface contact and chilling more effectively than a harder cube format. It is also well suited to blended drinks where rapid chilling and smooth texture are priorities, though for applications where ice is served directly in a glass, a cube or nugget format may be more appropriate.
