Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For a mid-volume operation — a restaurant bar, café, or small hotel — 120kg per day is generally sufficient for drinks service and moderate food display use. If your site runs extended service hours, hosts large events regularly, or uses flake ice for both drinks and food production simultaneously, it is worth calculating your peak hourly demand rather than just daily volume, as the integrated 30kg bin may require more frequent draw-down management. We can help you work through expected usage before you commit.
- The AF107 requires a mains cold water supply, a drain connection for water discharge, and a suitable power supply — the unit is designed as a plug-and-play installation in that respect. Being air-cooled with front-in, front-out airflow, it can be positioned against a wall or within a cabinetry recess without needing clearance at the rear. In hard water areas, fitting a water filter upstream of the machine is strongly recommended and is typically required to maintain warranty validity.
- Flake ice is soft and mouldable, which means it packs closely around irregular shapes — fish fillets, shellfish, whole vegetables, or chilled produce — keeping surface contact high and presentation clean. It also melts slightly more quickly than cube ice, which is worth factoring in for heated display environments or outdoor use. For drinks service alone, cube or nugget ice may be more practical, so it is worth being clear on your primary application before specifying.
