Scotsman MC1448SAX-32 Prodigy ELITE 48" Small Cube Ice Machine Head, Air-Cooled, 1,483 lb, 208-230V 1-Ph
Description
A 48-inch modular head that makes up to 1,483 lb of small cube ice a day and sits on a separate Scotsman bin or dispenser.
The Scotsman MC1448SAX-32 is a Prodigy ELITE modular cube head, 48" W x 24" D x 29" H, that makes small cube ice (7/8" x 7/8" x 3/8") on a 208-230V, 60 Hz, single phase circuit. An air-cooled condenser pulls room air through louvers with removable, external air filters, so it needs no condenser water. The AutoAlert panel shows machine status across the room, and the ICELINQ app connects over Bluetooth for diagnostics, settings and guided cleaning. It is a head only: order a bin or dispenser with it.

Sensors and Preservation Mode
Redesigned ice thickness and water sensors are easier to clean, and Preservation Mode helps keep the machine running and flags potential issues.
Removable external air filters
The air filters come off from the outside for cleaning, which speeds up routine maintenance.
