Scotsman MC0530MWX-1 Prodigy ELITE 30" Water-Cooled Medium Cube Ice Machine Head, 507 lb/24 hr, 115V 1-Ph
Description
A 30-inch modular head that makes up to 507 lb of medium cube ice a day on top of a matching bin or dispenser.
The Scotsman MC0530MWX-1 is a Prodigy ELITE modular cube ice machine head that makes medium cubes (7/8" x 7/8" x 7/8"). Scotsman rates it at 507 lb of ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and 371 lb at 90°F air and 70°F water. It is water cooled, so it needs a condenser water supply and drain in addition to the potable water line. It runs on 115/60/1 power and uses R290 refrigerant. Like every modular head, it needs a bin or dispenser underneath, sold separately.

- Scotsman recommends water filtration on every ice machine. Contact Scotsman for bin top requirements.
