Scotsman is a very well-known name in the restaurant industry. They provide some of the best ice systems and the ice flakers that they manufacture are of the best quality also. But what is it that sets the Scotsman Ice Flaker apart from the rest?

Before we go into detail about the advantages of owning a Scotsman Ice Flaker, let’s first look at what an ice flaker is used for. Ice flakers, also known as flake ice machines, produce a soft, slow melting, versatile type of ice. This flaked ice can be used in beverages such as cold drinks, cocktails and other blended beverages. They are also suitable for ice displays such as for sushi or frozen desserts.

The Scotsman range includes the modular flaker ice makers. These are a popular type of commercial kitchen equipment because of their modular design. They can fit into almost any small space at floor level. So they don’t take up any counter space, on the contrary, they can be conveniently placed underneath the counter. The modular flaker ice machines have been manufactured with various ice flaking capacity outputs starting at 120 kg to 2500 kg within a 24 hour period, depending on the model. Thus there are models suitable for any type and size of restaurant or bar. If you have a busy bar or nightclub, it is ideal to opt for the model with an ice flaking capacity of 2500 kg so that you can keep up with the demand. It would be embarrassing to run out of ice before the night is over and disappoint your customers.

All Scotsman modular flaker ice makers are manufactured with a permanent water supply connection, storage capacity and floor level drainage system. The water supply flows while the ice flakes are being made and will pause once the machine has produced its maximum capacity and filled up the storage bin. The floor level drainage system is convenient for the cleaning of the machine as you don’t have to manually clear it out and dispose of any of the liquid in trays or buckets. It will simply drain out like any other kitchen sink.

Scotsman’s ice systems are quality products that implement energy saving devices to ensure that you receive a product that suits all your ice making needs and is reliable. The modular flaker ice makers are powerful machines that make any restaurateur or bar owner’s life much easier and convenient.
