Scotsman MC0530MRX-1 Prodigy ELITE 30" Remote-Cooled Medium Cube Ice Machine Head, 115V 1-Ph
Description
A 30-inch remote-cooled cube ice head that rejects heat at an outdoor condenser, paired with a Scotsman ERC111X-1 condenser.
The Scotsman MC0530MRX-1 is a Prodigy ELITE modular cube ice machine head that makes medium cubes (7/8" x 7/8" x 7/8"). Scotsman lists it in the MC0530 500 lb class. It is remote cooled: the head connects to a Scotsman remote condenser through brazed line sets, and Scotsman lists the ERC111X-1 condenser for it. It runs on 115/60/1 power and uses R449A refrigerant. Like every modular head, it needs a bin or dispenser underneath, sold separately.
Will it fit · Will it hook up
- Outside size
- 30" W x 24" D x 23" H head; shipping carton 33.5" x 27.5" x 28"; Scotsman's remote manual lists 30.75" maximum width at the top panel
- Water and drain
- 3/8" FPT potable water inlet, 3/4" FPT drain
- Refrigerant lines
- 3/8" liquid line and 1/2" discharge line to the remote condenser; BRTE10, 25, 40 or 75 ft line sets, brazing required
- Power
- 115V, 60 Hz, single-phase, 2 wires; 16.2 A minimum circuit ampacity; 20 A max fuse or HACR breaker
- Room and water
- Air 50°F to 100°F; water 40°F to 100°F; potable water pressure 20 to 80 psi
- Remote condenser
- Outdoor condenser temperatures -20°F to 120°F
The head is 30" wide; plan the full stack height with the bin you choose (see the bin answer below).
ICELINQ app
Bluetooth pairing with the ICELINQ mobile app gives real-time diagnostics, settings and step-by-step guided cleaning without removing panels.
AutoAlert panel
External indicator lights, including bin full, and a 16-segment display show machine status across the room.
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.
WaterSense adaptive purge
Adaptive purge optimizes water use to keep the machine cleaner; potable water use is 18.0 gallons per 100 lb of ice.
Condenser heat outside
Heat is rejected at the remote condenser instead of in the room; the condenser fan runs on power from the ice machine.
Antimicrobial protection
AgION antimicrobial protection guards internal surfaces for more sanitary operation between cleanings.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- The head comes in a 33.5" x 27.5" x 28" carton, about 175 lb. It is a head only: have the bin or dispenser on site, since the head mounts on top of it.
- A refrigeration technician must braze the line sets between the head and the remote condenser and charge the system. Scotsman notes the electrical ratings include the remote condenser fan motor, which is powered by the ice machine.
- Run a dedicated 115V circuit sized for 16.2 A minimum circuit ampacity with a 20 A max fuse or HACR breaker; supply voltage must stay within -5% to +10%.
- Scotsman recommends water filtration on every ice machine. Contact Scotsman for bin top requirements.
Questions buyers ask
Does it come with a bin?
No. It is a head only. Scotsman's sizing chart pairs the MC0530 with the B330P (344 lb) or B530P/S (536 lb) with no bin top kit, the B842S with a KBT29 top, or the B948S with a KBT22B top. It also fits the HD30 hotel dispenser.
What power does it need?
115V, 60 Hz, single-phase, 2 wires. Minimum circuit ampacity is 16.2 A, with a 20 A maximum fuse or HACR circuit breaker.
Is the remote condenser included?
No. The spec sheet lists the Scotsman ERC111X-1 remote condenser and BRTE10, 25, 40 or 75 ft line sets as accessories; line sets need brazing.
What size cubes does it make?
Medium cubes, 7/8" x 7/8" x 7/8". Scotsman also builds this head in a small cube version.
What warranty does it have?
Scotsman prints 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, valid in North, South and Central America for commercial installations.
