Scotsman NS1322AX-32 Prodigy Plus Nugget Ice Machine Head, Air-Cooled, 1,314 lb./24 hr, 208-230V 1-Phase
Description
A 22.9-inch modular head that makes up to 1,314 lb. of soft, chewable nugget ice a day and sits on a Scotsman bin for restaurants, convenience stores, healthcare and other high-volume beverage operations.
The Scotsman NS1322AX-32 is a Prodigy Plus modular nugget ice machine head that makes Original Chewable Nugget ice, the softer of Scotsman's two nugget types. It produces up to 1,314 lb. per 24 hours at 70°F air / 50°F water and 1,001 lb. at 90°F / 70°F. It is air-cooled and front-breathing, so Scotsman says no side clearance is required. It runs on 208-230V, 60 Hz, 1-phase power with R290 refrigerant. The head is 22.9" W x 24" D x 27" H and needs a bin below it, such as the Scotsman B842S, B948S, BL1048S, BL1360S or BL1660S bins.

Original Chewable Nugget
Soft nugget ice, about 7/16" x 5/16" x 3/8", with a 74% hardness rating. Scotsman notes nugget ice is inherently more energy and water efficient than cube ice.
Sealed bearings
Sealed, maintenance-free bearings need no grease and reduce preventative maintenance. The evaporator and auger are stainless steel.
AutoAlert lights
External LED lights show machine status and signal when it is time to descale or sanitize. A unit-specific QR code links to service manuals, cleaning guides and warranty history.
Antimicrobial protection
AgION antimicrobial protection guards internal surfaces between cleanings, and the sealed refrigeration system limits outside airborne contamination.
ENERGY STAR air-cooled
Uses 3.78 kWh and 12.0 gallons of potable water per 100 lb. of ice. Front-breathing, so no side clearance is needed.
Optional controls
KVS Vari-Smart ice level control programs bin levels up to 7 days ahead; KSBU Smart-Board adds NAFEM data protocol and remote diagnostics.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- The shipping carton is 25.5" x 27.5" x 32.5" and the shipping weight is 225 lb. Plan the lift onto the bin.
- Have a 208-230V, 60 Hz, 1-phase circuit ready: 14.8 A minimum circuit ampacity, 20 A max. fuse or HACR breaker, 2 circuit wires.
- Scotsman recommends water filtration on all ice machines; see the Scotsman water filter spec sheet.
Questions buyers ask
How much ice does it make?
Scotsman rates it at 1,314 lb. per 24 hours at 70°F air / 50°F water and 1,001 lb. at 90°F air / 70°F water.

What power does it need?
208-230V, 60 Hz, 1-phase, 2 circuit wires; 14.8 A min. circuit ampacity, 20 A max. fuse or HACR breaker. Voltage must stay within -5% / +10%.
What add-ons can I order with it?
The listing offers optional add-ons: AP3-P AquaPatrol Plus or SSM3-P SSM Plus triple water filtration systems. Pick only what your installation needs; the base configuration is the head alone.
What warranty and certifications does it have?
3 years parts and labor on all components and 5 years parts on the compressor, for commercial installations in North, South and Central America. The spec sheet shows cULus, NSF and AHRI Certified marks and lists ENERGY STAR for this model.
