Scotsman AF107 Self-Contained Flake Ice Machine 120kg/24hr

The Scotsman AF107 is a self-contained flake ice machine with an integrated storage bin, producing up to 120kg of flake ice per 24-hour period. Flake ice is soft, pliable, and mouldable — practical across a wide range of commercial settings, from chilled fish and produce displays to food preparation packing and general drinks service in bars and restaurants.

In busy service environments, consistent output matters. The AF107 is built to run continuously through peak periods, and its pressure-based water level monitoring allows operation with both standard mains water and demineralised water. This is a useful characteristic where water quality varies or where specialist applications require purer ice. The built-in Xsafe UV system inhibits the growth of bacteria, mould, and slime within the machine — a genuine benefit for any site where hygiene standards are closely maintained.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the AF107 is straightforward to live with:

• Air-cooled condenser with front-in, front-out airflow permits installation against a wall or within a built-in recess
• Filter-free condenser design reduces routine maintenance requirements
• Front-access servicing simplifies cleaning and any technical intervention
• Self-diagnostic functions with external alarm indicators support early identification of issues
• Slanted bin door gives convenient, ergonomic access during service

The unit connects to a standard incoming water supply and drain. In hard water areas, fitting an appropriate inline water filter is strongly advisable — beyond protecting internal components, it is typically a condition of the manufacturer's warranty. The integrated bin holds up to 30kg of ice, which suits moderate throughput operations well, but sites with consistently high demand should consider whether a separate, higher-capacity storage bin would better support their service volumes.

The AF107 is well suited to mid-volume hospitality and catering operations — hotel bars, casual dining restaurants, fishmongers, delicatessens, and food preparation facilities where flake ice is used regularly. Being self-contained, no remote condenser or external bin is required, keeping installation straightforward. For very high-volume sites where both production and storage requirements are significantly greater across a service day, a larger-capacity machine would be worth considering.
