Scotsman AF107 Self-Contained Ice Flaker (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 prep environments, as well as general drinks service in bars and food service operations.

In busy service environments, consistent ice output is essential. The AF107 is designed to run continuously through peak periods, and its pressure-based water level monitoring system means it can operate with both standard mains water and demineralised water — a useful characteristic for sites where water quality varies or 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 in any site where hygiene standards are closely monitored.

From a practical standpoint, the AF107 is relatively straightforward to install and use:

• 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 allow 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 water filter is strongly advisable; aside from protecting the machine, it is typically a warranty condition. The integrated bin holds up to 30kg of ice, which suits moderate throughput sites, but operators 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. It is a self-contained unit, so no remote condenser or external bin is needed, keeping installation simple. For very high-volume sites producing and storing significantly more ice across a service day, a larger-capacity machine in the Scotsman range would be worth discussing.

If you are unsure whether the AF107 matches your expected daily demand or installation setup, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
