Ice Makers 35 Smart and sustainable Scotsman
HUBBARD SYSTEMS HAS launched ice makers that it claims are the smartest yet when it comes to sustainability. The Scotsman Prodigy-MV machines offer a sustainable and reliable way to create fresh, attractive ice.
Scotsman Prodigy-MV machines are self- monitoring modular ice makers. The front-located AutoAlert indicator lights make upkeep practically foolproof by constantly communicating information about the machine’s operating status, using easy-to-understand universal symbols. It signals when it’s time to perform routine maintenance or to call for service – before it is an emergency.
The Prodigy-MV machines produce dice ice cubes in a choice of two sizes and are available in water-cooled, air-cooled or remote condenser versions. Hubbard offers a choice of models including the P-MV 456, which is capable of producing up to 220kgs of ice a day, the equivalent of 22,000 cubes.
The units are a global standard width, measuring 760mm wide by 620mm deep by 575mm high and are designed to sit on top of separate ice storage bins. The Prodigy range features a WaterSense control which
reduces scale build up and keeps the machine cleaner for longer. It works by detecting and purging particulate-laden water with every freeze cycle, maintaining the machine’s reliability and efficiency.
The range also features Scotsman AquaArmor antimicrobial protection built-in to key components to help protect against bacteria, mould and algae. The front and side panels can be simply removed to allow clear access to internal components for easy servicing and cleaning.
Not only do Prodigy machines use significantly less energy and water than traditional ice machines, they are quieter too.
The fan blade design and quiet compressors reduce the noise of ice making, while the optional Vari-Smart ice level control uses ultrasonic technology to maintain the selected ice level. It allows the operator to determine and programme how much ice they need for up to seven days.
That means the customers get the ice they want, while operators save water and electricity.
The first hydrocarbon ice cube maker from Hoshizaki
THE IM-240ANE-HC IS Hoshizaki’s first cube machine to use a hydrocarbon as a refrigerant making it one of the few available in the UK.
This high capacity machine is targeted primarily at larger outlets under pressure to demonstrate environmental awareness and realise major energy and water savings.
Although virtually eliminating ozone depletion and reducing global warming to virtually zero, the R290 refrigerant used provides a further benefit in that it reduces energy consumption by approximately 20%.
This is in addition to other water and energy saving features developed by Hoshizaki’s research and development team which is committed to pioneering the manufacture of environmentally friendly ice makers.
The Hoshizaki IM-240ANE-HC produces 210kgs of perfect ice over 24 hours.
Hoshizaki is globally recognized for the crystal clear ice its machines produce. Made to an exceptionally cold -25°C, the

ice remains solid for the longest possible time. In addition, the machine will operate continuously at temperatures of up to 40ºC.
According to Hoshizaki, this unit is outstandingly efficient operating in ambient temperature from +1°C to +40°C. It uses a closed cell, jet ice making system that contains the water in the ice making process, thus reducing cleaning and potential bacteria build up. The fully automatic rinse and flush cycle ensures that ice cubes remain clear and hygienic.
The condenser air filters are removable and cleanable, reducing maintenance costs and improve performance. The IM-240ANE-HC includes bespoke water filters that improve water quality by removing discolouration and odour as well as treating hard water, contributing to the production of perfect ice and reduced machine maintenance. It is an air-cooled ice maker with three modular bin options, and its dimensions are 560mm wide by 700mm deep by 880mm high.
