Scotsman MC1848SAX-32 Prodigy ELITE 48" Small Cube Ice Machine Head, Air-Cooled, 1,726 lb./24 hr, 208-230V 1-Phase
A 48-inch modular head that makes up to 1,726 lb. of small cube ice a day and sits on a Scotsman bin for high-volume restaurants, bars, hotels and institutions.
The Scotsman MC1848SAX-32 is a Prodigy ELITE modular cube ice machine head that makes small cubes (7/8" x 7/8" x 3/8"). It produces up to 1,726 lb. per 24 hours at 70°F air / 50°F water and 1,349 lb. at 90°F / 70°F. The air-cooled condenser is built in, with removable external air filters at the front. It runs on 208-230V, 60 Hz, 1-phase power and uses R449A refrigerant. The head is 48" W x 24" D x 29" H and needs a bin or dispenser below it, such as the Scotsman BL1048S, BL1360S or BL1660S.
Plan the bin first: the head is 48" wide and Scotsman lists BL1048S, BL1360S or BL1660S for it.
Bluetooth pairing with the ICELINQ mobile app gives real-time diagnostics, settings and step-by-step guided cleaning without removing panels.
A 16-segment display and external indicator lights, including bin full, show machine status across the room.
The ice thickness and water sensor design is easier to clean and more durable. Preservation Mode helps maximize uptime and flags potential issues.
Purge water is optimized to keep the machine clean. Potable water use is 17.0 gallons per 100 lb. of ice and energy use is 4.32 kWh per 100 lb.
The external air filters are removable, which speeds up cleaning and reduces the unit footprint.
Optional KVS Vari-Smart or KBILC ice level control, KSBU Smart-Board with NAFEM data protocol, and XR-30 XSafe sanitation system.
Scotsman rates it at 1,726 lb. per 24 hours at 70°F air / 50°F water and 1,349 lb. at 90°F air / 70°F water.
No. This is an ice machine head. Scotsman lists BL1048S, BL1360S or BL1660S bins for it (BL1048S 1,000 lb., BL1360S 1,320 lb., BL1660S 1,660 lb. capacity) and says to contact Scotsman for bin top requirements.
208-230V, 60 Hz, 1-phase, 2 wires, 23.3 A minimum circuit ampacity, 25 A max. fuse or HACR breaker. Voltage must stay within -5% / +10%.
Small cubes, 7/8" x 7/8" x 3/8". Scotsman calls cube ice the common ice form, ideal for mixed drinks.
3 years parts and labor on all components, 5 years parts and labor on the evaporator, and 5 years parts on the compressor and condenser, for commercial installations in North, South and Central America.
The spec sheet shows cULus, NSF and AHRI Certified marks.
