Description
A 48-inch modular head that makes up to 1,828 lb. of small cube ice a day and sits on a Scotsman bin for high-volume restaurants, bars, hotels and institutions.
The Scotsman MC1848SR-3 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 1,828 lb. per 24 hours at 70°F air / 50°F water and 1,662 lb. at 90°F / 70°F. The condenser is remote: Scotsman lists the ERC611-32 remote condenser and brazed line sets for it as accessories. It runs on 208-230V, 60 Hz, 3-phase power and uses R-404A 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.
