Scotsman NS1322L-1 Prodigy Plus 22" Nugget Ice Machine Head, Remote Low Side, 1,330 lb./24 hr, 115V 1-Phase
Description
A 22-inch modular head that makes up to 1,330 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 NS1322L-1 is a Prodigy Plus remote low side nugget ice machine head that makes Original Chewable Nugget ice, the softer of Scotsman's two nugget types. It is rated at 1,330 lb. per 24 hours at 70°F air / 50°F water and 1,100 lb. at 90°F / 70°F. Remote low side means the head is designed to run with an external condensing unit supplied by others; the refrigerant (R-404A) is added at initial start-up. The head plugs into 115V with its cord, measures 22" W x 24" D x 27" H and needs a bin below it.

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.
Self-aligning panel
The front panel is self-aligning for easy access to key components, and the air filter sits at the front.
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.
Remote low side
Uses 0.73 kWh and 12.0 gallons of potable water per 100 lb. of ice at the head. The front-located air filter and self-aligning front panel ease service.
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 115V, 60 Hz outlet within reach of the cord on a circuit with a 15 A max. fuse.
- Scotsman designs this head to run with an external condensing unit supplied by others. A refrigeration technician must connect the lines and add R-404A at initial start-up.
- 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 1,330 lb. per 24 hours at 70°F air / 50°F water and 1,100 lb. at 90°F air / 70°F water.
Does it come with a bin?
No. This is an ice machine head. Scotsman lists B948S, BH1100, BH1300 or BH1600 bins for it and says to contact Scotsman for bin top requirements.
What kind of nugget ice is it?
The NS models make Original Chewable Nugget ice, the softer nugget type (hardness rating 74%, about 7/16" x 5/16" x 3/8"). Scotsman's harder H2 Nugget is the NH model line.
What power does it need?
115V, 60 Hz, 1-phase with a 120V cord; 15 A max. fuse size. Voltage must stay within -5% / +10%.
What else does a remote low side head need?
An external condensing unit supplied by others, connected through the 5/8" O.D. suction and 3/8" O.D. liquid connections, and a refrigerant charge added at start-up. Scotsman lists BRTE line sets as accessories.
What add-ons can I order with it?
The listing offers optional add-ons: a B322S 22" ice storage bin (370 lb.) and 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, for commercial installations in North, South and Central America. The spec sheet shows cULus, NSF and AHRI Certified marks.
