How do I know whether 400kg per day is the right output for my operation?

A useful starting point is to estimate your peak daily ice consumption — accounting for drinks service, food display, and any back-of-house requirements — then add a reasonable buffer for unexpected demand. For most high-volume bars and hotel operations, 400kg per day is a strong fit, but sites with lighter needs may find a lower-output machine more appropriate, while very large venues or event caterers running multiple service points may want to consider a higher-capacity option.

What are the key installation requirements for the MXG937?

The machine requires a dedicated electrical supply, a cold water inlet, and a gravity or pumped drainage connection — all of which should be confirmed and in place before delivery. As an air-cooled unit, it also needs adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser; siting it in a confined space will reduce output and shorten the machine's working life. In hard-water areas, a water filtration system is strongly recommended to protect internal components and maintain cube quality.

How much ongoing maintenance does the MXG937 require?

Day-to-day, the machine is largely self-managing — the XSafe UV system and Agion antimicrobial surfaces reduce the rate of biofilm and scale build-up between scheduled cleans. The front-access condenser filter should be checked and cleaned regularly, and the frequency will depend on your kitchen environment. Periodic deep cleaning and descaling remain necessary, and in hard-water areas these intervals may need to be shorter; a service agreement with a qualified refrigeration engineer is worth considering for a machine at this output level.

Product Description

The Scotsman MXG937 is a high-output modular ice cuber supplied complete with a matching storage bin. It produces Scotsman's Supercube — a solid, transparent cube that melts slowly, chills effectively, and presents well in glassware. The storage bin holds a substantial reserve ready for service, reducing the risk of running short during busy periods.

At 400kg per 24 hours, this is a machine designed for sites where ice is a genuine operational dependency. In drinks-led operations in particular, the slow-melting Supercube matters: less dilution means better-tasting drinks and fewer interruptions to bar service. The modular format also provides a degree of flexibility — the ice head can be repositioned or paired with different bin configurations should service needs change over time.

Several features reduce the day-to-day management burden on bar and kitchen teams:

XSafe UV sanitation inhibits bacterial growth, mould, slime, and odours within the machine
Agion antimicrobial protection on contact surfaces provides ongoing hygiene between scheduled cleans
Front-access condenser filter allows straightforward maintenance without specialist tools
Electronic controls maintain consistent cube quality as ambient and water temperatures vary seasonally
External indicator lights and a clean alert allow at-a-glance monitoring of machine status

Installation requires careful planning. The MXG937 is an air-cooled unit and needs adequate clearance around the condenser — a confined or poorly ventilated space will affect both output and longevity. A dedicated electrical supply, water inlet, and drainage connection are all required. In hard-water areas, a filtration system is strongly advisable to protect internal components and maintain cube clarity over time; this is worth factoring into the total installation cost from the outset.

This unit is well suited to high-volume bars, hotels, large restaurants, and event catering operations where ice is central to service. It is not proportionate for lighter-use environments, where a smaller self-contained machine would be a more practical and cost-effective choice. For sites with even greater throughput demands, heavier-duty modular options are available within the range.

If you'd like to work through whether the MXG937 is the right match for your site — including electrical requirements, water quality, or how to size the bin to your service pattern — our team is happy to go through the details before you commit.
