Scotsman NH0422AX-1 Prodigy Plus Nugget Ice Machine Head, H2 Nugget, Air-Cooled, 375 lb/24 hr, 115V
Description
Makes up to 375 lb of harder, slower-melting nugget ice a day in a 22-inch-wide head that sits on a Scotsman bin or dispenser.
The Scotsman NH0422AX-1 is the air-cooled version of the N0422 Prodigy Plus nugget ice machine. It makes harder, slower-melting H2 Nugget ice, which Scotsman suggests for dispensing. Scotsman rates it at 375 lb per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and 285 lb at 90°F air and 70°F water. Air enters at the front and leaves at the back, so it needs no side clearance. It runs on 115/60/1 and uses R290 refrigerant. It is a head only: order a bin or dispenser separately.

Sealed bearings
Sealed, maintenance-free bearings need no grease and cut preventive maintenance. The evaporator and auger are stainless steel.
Two nugget types
This model makes H2 Nugget ice. Scotsman offers the softer Original Chewable Nugget for bins and the harder H2 Nugget for dispensing; check the model letter (NS soft, NH hard) before you order.
AutoAlert lights
External indicator lights show machine status across the room and signal when it is time to descale or sanitize. A unit-specific QR code links to service manuals, cleaning guides and warranty history.
Front-breathing
Air flows in at the front and out at the back, so the head needs no side clearance. A removable air filter sits on the front.
Antimicrobial protection
AgION antimicrobial protection guards internal surfaces between cleanings.
Optional controls
KVS Vari-Smart ice level control lets you program bin levels. KSBU Smart-Board adds diagnostic data, KSBU-N adds a network connection, and KPAS combines both kits.
