Product Description
The Scotsman MXG637 is a high-output modular ice cuber from Scotsman's MXG Supercuber range, supplied here complete with a matching storage bin capable of holding 181kg of ice. It produces solid, crystal-clear cube ice — what Scotsman refer to as the Supercube — at a rate of up to 340kg per 24-hour cycle under suitable ambient and water temperature conditions. The modular format means the ice-making head sits on top of the storage bin, keeping the footprint compact relative to the output capacity.
In a busy bar or hotel environment this kind of output is meaningful. A site running high volumes of bottled and draught service, cocktails, or bagged ice needs a machine that keeps pace with peak demand without operators waiting on recovery. The Supercube format is well regarded in on-the-rocks and cocktail service because the dense, clear cube melts slowly, maintaining drink quality without rapid dilution. The machine incorporates UV treatment as part of its internal hygiene process — this helps suppress the growth of bacteria, mould and slime within the water system, which is a genuine operational consideration in ice machines that are running continuously.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the MXG637 is designed to be manageable without specialist intervention for routine tasks:
- Front-access condenser filter that can be cleaned in-house without calling out an engineer
- Indicator lights that flag when cleaning or attention is required
- Agion antimicrobial surface treatment built into the machine to resist microbial growth between cleans
- Electronic controls that compensate for variations in ambient and water temperature to maintain consistent output
Installation requires a dedicated 20-amp power supply, so this should be confirmed with your electrician before ordering. The machine also needs a cold water supply and a drain connection. Adequate ventilation around the condenser is important — this is an air-cooled unit and restricted airflow will reduce output and shorten component life. The combined weight of the head and bin when loaded with ice is substantial, so floor loading and positioning should be considered at the planning stage.
The MXG637 is well suited to hotels, busy bar operations, large restaurants, and event catering facilities where consistent high-volume cube ice output is a daily requirement. It is less likely to be the right choice for a small café or light-use kitchen where a smaller self-contained unit would be more proportionate and easier to maintain. For sites requiring output beyond this model's capacity, higher-volume configurations within the MXG range are available.
Ice machines at this output level involve a number of installation and operational variables that are worth working through before purchase. If you'd like to talk over your site's requirements, the team is happy to help you assess whether this model is the right fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For many hotel bars and mid-to-large restaurants this output is sufficient, but the right answer depends on your peak service periods, number of covers, and whether ice is also used for food display or bagged for events. It is worth calculating your realistic daily demand — including buffer for the bin not always being full at the start of service — before committing to this capacity. If your operation is particularly high volume or runs multiple service points, a higher-output configuration may be more appropriate.
- The machine requires a dedicated 20-amp electrical supply, a cold mains water feed, and a suitable drain connection. As an air-cooled unit it also needs adequate clearance around the condenser to ventilate properly — restricted airflow will reduce ice output and put additional strain on the refrigeration components. The combined weight of the assembled unit with a loaded bin is considerable, so floor suitability and the practicalities of positioning should be assessed before installation.
- The MXG637 is designed with operator maintenance in mind — the condenser filter is front-accessible and can be cleaned in-house without specialist tools, and the machine's indicator lights flag when cleaning is due. That said, periodic descaling and a full service by a qualified refrigeration engineer are still recommended, and the frequency will depend on your local water hardness. Fitting an appropriate water filter ahead of the machine is advisable and will help protect internal components and ice quality over time.
