Scotsman ACM87 Self-Contained Ice Cuber | 45kg/24hr

The Scotsman ACM87 is a self-contained cube ice machine that combines the ice-making head and storage bin in a single unit. It produces Scotsman's supercube format — clear, thimble-shaped individual ice pieces — without requiring a separate storage bin or remote condenser. Everything is housed in one footprint, which simplifies both installation and day-to-day operation.

At this production level, the ACM87 suits moderate-demand environments comfortably. A busy café, small wine bar, or hotel breakfast service will find the daily output keeps pace with steady throughput, and the on-board storage allows a useful reserve to build ahead of a service period, reducing pressure on the machine during peak hours. The clear cube format also presents well in front-of-house settings where ice visibility matters.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the ACM87 is designed to keep routine maintenance manageable:

• Front-to-front airflow allows flush installation within cabinetry without rear clearance
• Condenser air filter is accessible and washable from the front panel
• AgION antimicrobial agent embedded throughout ice-contact plastic components
• Vapour-based microbial control in the storage bin to inhibit mould, mildew, and odours
• Patented anti-scale water system to reduce limescale build-up in the water circuit

Installation requires a mains cold water feed, a waste drainage connection, and a standard single-phase electrical supply. The front-exhaust airflow design is a genuine practical advantage in tight bar counters or servery runs where rear clearance is unavailable. One point worth taking seriously: in hard water areas, an in-line water filter should be treated as an installation requirement rather than an optional extra. Scotsman's warranty conditions are linked to proper water treatment.

The ACM87 is well suited to small hotels, cafés, wine bars, and light-use restaurant bars where daily ice demand sits comfortably within the machine's output. It is not sized for high-volume cocktail bars or banqueting operations — those environments are better served by a higher-capacity modular system. If your demand is very low, a smaller self-contained unit may offer a more cost-effective fit.

If you're unsure whether this model matches your service pattern or have questions about your installation setup, the team is happy to work through it with you.
