Scotsman MC0530SR-1 Prodigy ELITE 30" Remote-Cooled Small Cube Ice Machine Head, 500 lb/24 hr, 115V 1-Ph
Description
A 30-inch remote-cooled cube ice head rated up to 500 lb a day, with heat rejected at a remote condenser.
The Scotsman MC0530SR-1 is a Prodigy ELITE modular cube ice machine head that makes small cubes (7/8" x 7/8" x 3/8"). Scotsman rates it at 500 lb of ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and 400 lb at 90°F air and 70°F water. It is remote cooled: the head connects to a Scotsman remote condenser through brazed line sets, and Scotsman lists the ERC111-1 condenser for it. It runs on 115/60/1 power and uses R-404A refrigerant. Like every modular head, it needs a bin or dispenser underneath, sold separately.

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.
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. Order the ERC111-1 condenser and BRTE line set with the head.
- 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 ERC111-1 remote condenser and BRTE10, 25, 40 or 75 ft line sets as accessories; line sets need brazing.
What size cubes does it make?
Small cubes, 7/8" x 7/8" x 3/8". Scotsman also builds this head in a medium 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.
What can I add on this listing?
Bin and dispenser choices on this listing: Scotsman B330P (344 lb), B530P or B530S (536 lb) 30" ice storage bins, or the HD30B-1 30" hotel cube dispenser (180 lb). Scotsman's sizing chart pairs this head with the B330P and B530P/S with no bin top kit and with the HD30. Also offered: AP1-P or SSM1-P water filter systems, which Scotsman lists for this head, and the XR-30 XSafe sanitation system. The ERC111-1 remote condenser is offered as an add-on; the head needs it or another approved remote condenser to run.
