Scotsman MXG427 Modular Ice Cuber with Storage Bin (170kg/24hr)

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.
