Scotsman AF207 Self-Contained Ice Flaker (200kg/24hr)

The Scotsman AF207 is a self-contained flaked ice machine capable of producing up to 200kg of ice per day, with an integrated storage bin holding up to 60kg. Flaked ice is soft, mouldable, and low in temperature, making it a practical choice across a wide range of commercial applications — from drinks service and food display through to medical environments and food production lines where gentle, even chilling is important.

In busy service environments, consistent ice availability is essential. The AF207 is designed to run continuously through high-demand periods, and the self-diagnostic system with external alarm indicators means operators can identify and respond to any operational issues quickly, rather than discovering a problem mid-service. The pressure-based water level monitoring system is also compatible with demineralised water, which can be useful in certain food production or healthcare settings.

From a practical standpoint, a few features make day-to-day operation more straightforward:

• UV light treatment (Xsafe) actively reduces bacteria, viruses, mould and odour build-up within the machine
• Filter-free air-cooled condenser reduces maintenance overhead
• Front-in, front-out airflow supports flush or built-in installation
• Front access for servicing without needing to move the unit
• Slanted, ergonomic bin door for convenient ice retrieval

Installation is relatively straightforward — the unit arrives ready to connect to an incoming water supply and waste drain. The air-cooled condenser means no external water cooling circuit is required. That said, in hard water areas a suitable inline water filter is strongly recommended; scale build-up can affect both performance and the validity of the warranty, so it is worth addressing this before installation rather than after.

The AF207 is well suited to mid-volume operations: busy bars, hotel food service, fishmongers, deli counters, or food production environments with a steady daily ice requirement. It is a sensible choice where a standalone modular head-and-bin arrangement would be unnecessary complexity. For very high-volume sites running continuous production demands significantly above 200kg per day, a larger capacity unit in the Scotsman range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether the AF207 is the right fit for your setup — or you have questions about water quality, installation, or ice type — the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
