Product Description
The Scotsman MXG427 is a modular ice cubing machine that produces up to 170kg of solid, crystal-clear ice cubes in a 24-hour period. It is supplied complete with a matching storage bin holding up to 129kg of ice. The unit produces what Scotsman call Supercubes — full, transparent, slow-melting cubes that are consistent in shape and clarity. This makes them well suited to operations where ice presentation is as important as ice volume, particularly bars, hotels, and restaurants with an active front-of-house drinks service.
In a sustained service environment, the MXG427 performs steadily across long shifts. Because Supercubes melt slowly, they chill drinks effectively without diluting them quickly, which keeps presentation consistent and reduces waste during peak periods. The electronic control system monitors and adjusts the freeze cycle to account for changes in ambient and water temperature, so output quality remains reliable across different seasons rather than varying with the environment.
From a day-to-day maintenance standpoint, the unit has been designed with accessibility in mind:
- Front-access condenser air filter allows cleaning without moving the unit
- Built-in clean alert indicator signals when filter attention is needed
- Agion antimicrobial protection on contact surfaces helps resist microbial growth between cleans
- External indicator lights give at-a-glance visibility of operational status
Installation requires a dedicated water supply, drain connection, and appropriate electrical supply. As a modular unit, the ice head sits on top of the storage bin, so adequate ceiling clearance and a level, stable surface are both important. The condenser draws air from the front, which suits installations where rear or side clearance is limited, though good ambient ventilation in the room remains important for consistent output during warmer periods.
This combination is well suited to hotels, cocktail bars, busy restaurants, and catering facilities where cube quality and reliable 24-hour volume are both priorities. Operations with more modest ice demand may find a lower-capacity self-contained unit a more proportionate fit, while large hotels or event venues with significantly higher throughput requirements may benefit from a higher-output modular alternative.
If you are working out the right ice machine for your site, the team is happy to talk through your service volume and installation setup before you make a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For a mid-sized hotel bar or an active restaurant drinks operation, 170kg per 24 hours is generally sufficient, particularly when combined with the 129kg storage bin which provides a useful buffer during peak service. That said, output is affected by ambient temperature and water temperature, so if your site runs warm or your service periods are heavily concentrated, it is worth discussing your actual peak demand with us before committing.
- The unit requires a mains cold water supply, a suitable drain connection, and an appropriate electrical supply. Because it is a modular machine — with the ice head sitting on top of the storage bin — you will need sufficient ceiling clearance above the installation point and a stable, level surface to set it on. The front-breathing condenser is practical where rear clearance is tight, but the room itself should be reasonably well ventilated, especially during summer months.
- A self-contained ice machine combines the ice-making head and storage in a single cabinet, which keeps the footprint compact and installation straightforward — these tend to suit smaller operations with moderate ice demand. A modular unit like the MXG427 separates the two components, allowing for a larger storage capacity and higher daily output, which makes it better suited to operations that need a meaningful ice reserve going into a service period. The trade-off is that modular machines require more ceiling height and are a larger overall installation.
