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, which makes it a practical choice across a wide range of commercial applications — from keeping fish and produce chilled on display counters to packing around food in preparation environments, as well as general drinks service in bars and food service operations.

In busy service environments, consistent ice output matters. The AF107 is designed to run continuously through peak periods without interruption. Its pressure-based water level monitoring system allows the machine to operate with both standard mains water and demineralised water — a useful characteristic for sites where water quality varies or where specialist applications demand purer ice. The built-in Xsafe UV system works within the machine to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mould, and slime, which is a genuine operational benefit at any site where hygiene standards are closely monitored.

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

• Air-cooled condenser with front-in, front-out airflow allows 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 operating issues
• Slanted, ergonomically positioned bin door gives convenient access during service

The unit connects to a standard incoming water supply and drain — no specialist utilities are required beyond that. In hard water areas, fitting an appropriate inline water filter is strongly advisable; beyond protecting the machine's 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, 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 regularly used. Being self-contained, no remote condenser or external bin is required, which keeps installation straightforward. For very high-volume sites where production and storage requirements are significantly greater across a service day, a larger-capacity machine in the Scotsman range would be worth considering.

If you are working through whether the AF107 fits your expected daily demand or installation setup, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
