Hubbard launches Scotsman’s new square supercube ice machine
Hubbard Systems is now supplying the EXS undercounter ice machine series from Scotsman Ice. This is part of the next generation of ice machines created by the market-leading manufacturer, which feature significant technological advances to improve energy and water efficiency. The EXS series make the brand new square gourmet supercube.
Scotsman’s gourmet ice has become the go to choice for businesses that want to create a premium serve for top quality drinks. These hard, crystal clear ice cubes melt slowly, helping to chill drinks without diluting them. Previous versions were cylindrical, but the EXS series produces them in a cubic shape, with dimensions of 30mm x 30mm x 30mm, and a weight of 27g. This makes them ideal for businesses that want the qualities of supercube ice but in the classic cubic form.
The EXS series includes three models offering a choice of production rates. The EXS87 has a maximum output of 44kg of ice in a 24 hour period, while the EXS107 can produce 50kg, and the EXS167, 79kg. Each unit is designed to fit under standard counter heights and has an integrated storage bin making it a powerful and flexible solution for busy locations needing lots of high quality ice.
Constructed from stainless steel, EXS models have an attractive and hard wearing matt black finish that adds a touch of chic style, making them ideal for any front of house setting.
The important components are all front accessible making maintenance simple. Each model features Scotsman’s powerful XSafe ultraviolet sanitation unit, which prevents the growth of dangerous bacteria within the internal systems, as well as a Progressive Water Discharge (PWD) system capable of pumping residual water up to a distance of 15m, providing even more flexibility with installation. The freezing system has been redesigned to reduce consumption of power and water, making it a cost effective and sustainable solution. The EXS series uses the powerful natural hydrocarbon refrigerant R290, further improving its sustainability. Internal sensors monitor the capacity of the storage bin, maintaining an optimum ratio between ice production and available ice.
