Scotsman ECM 47 AS OX Self-Contained Gourmet Ice Maker (24kg Daily Production)
Outfitting a high-end food and beverage establishment requires commercial-grade infrastructure that functions reliably during your most frantic shifts. The Scotsman ECM 47 AS OX Self-Contained Gourmet Ice Maker is an advanced undercounter solution for premium venues requiring absolute water sanitation and crystal-clear ice on demand. This advanced air-cooled system delivers a dependable 24kg daily production rate working alongside an integrated 9kg built-in storage bin, guaranteeing that your bartenders are always equipped for top-tier service.
What sets this specialized Eco X model apart is its progressive internal infrastructure. Combining an advanced waste disposal layout with high-performance sanitation systems, it addresses complex spatial and plumbing constraints effortlessly. If you are configuring a tight workspace where premium presentation cannot be compromised, this machine delivers industrial strength without the footprint complications.
Premium Quality Ice & Inbuilt Drain Pump
In premium beverage service, standard diced ice falls short. The Scotsman ECM 47 AS OX focuses on building individual, slow melting 20g gourmet ice thimbles (30mm diameter x 34mm height) that keep liquids chilled for maximum duration while resisting dilution. This distinctive ice structure elevates performance across an array of industry use cases:
- Premium Cocktail Lounges & Speakeasies: Present bespoke mixology creations, single-malt whiskies, and classic negronis over flawless thimbles that look spectacular under back-bar lighting.
- Boutique Cafes & Artisan Roasteries: Elevate the presentation of iced batch brews, cold drip coffees, and signature tea infusions without watering down delicate flavour profiles.
- High-End Fine Dining Restaurants: Deliver luxury table water service, premium wine bucket presentations, and fresh oyster displays using solid, brilliant ice thimbles.
- Specialized Healthcare & Luxury Lounges: Supply pristine, clear ice cubes to corporate VIP suites or sensitive clinical areas demanding top-tier sanitation control.
Key Benefits & Operational Advantages
- Integrated X Safe Natural Sanitation System: Breathe easy knowing your machine cleans itself on an atomic level. The built-in X Safe technology uses a chemical-free UV ozone system to continuously destroy viruses, bacteria, mould, and slime formations inside the ice zone, cutting manual sanitation labour down significantly.
- Patented PWD Progressive Water Discharge: Break free from restrictive floor-drain proximity. Armed with Scotsman’s PWD pump technology, this unit can actively pump its excess purge and meltwater up to 15 meters away or elevate it vertically, allowing you to mount the ice maker exactly where you need it.
- Eco X Hydrocarbon R290 Green Gas: Future-proof your establishment against tightening carbon and F-Gas laws. Operating exclusively on R290 hydrocarbon gas, this machine achieves an ultra-low global warming footprint while driving down daily utility expenditures.
- Agion Anti-Microbial Safeguards: Working together with X Safe, built-in Agion Technology is embedded into critical internal components to constantly suppress biological growth and odour molecules, maintaining complete product purity.
- Dampened Disappearing bin Door: Experience superior ergonomics during fast rushes. The storage entry features an insulated door with a sophisticated movement dampening system, allowing the panel to slide smoothly out of sight without slamming or causing annoying kitchen noise.

Cleaning & Routine Maintenance
By standardizing a minimal upkeep routine, you ensure the ECM 47 AS OX retains its freezing speeds and pristine aesthetic for years to come:
- Tool-Free Slide Air Filter: The front panel houses a fully removable, washable air filter mesh. Slide it out once a week, flush away trapped grease, or lint under a warm tap, and reinsert to maximize compressor lifetime.
- Front Panel Upkeep Indicators: Rather than relying on guesswork, check the front display face. A dedicated preventative alarm light will flash if airflow drops or mechanical components require a routine flush.
- Horizontal Spray Matrix Descaling: Periodically feed an approved commercial ice-machine descaler down into the inverted freezing array. This melts away hard-water mineral crusting, keeping your thimbles beautifully uniform.
Scotsman ECM 47 AS OX is Perfect for any fit out
Commercial bar and floor footprints are compact, premium real estate where every centimetre dictate workflow speed. The Scotsman ECM 47 AS OX thrives where alternative ice machines present installation roadblocks. Because it incorporates an internal water lifting pump, you are no longer chained to traditional low-level gravity drains. You can mount it inside custom joinery blocks or further back from service wells without worrying about fluid layout. Its high-grade stainless exterior deflects typical kitchen impacts, while its robust electromechanical core works reliably inside hot environments where digital circuitry models fail. It is an elite, plug-and-play asset that prioritizes zero-compromise water safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main structural advantage of choosing the ECM model over a standard ACM unit?
A: The defining breakthrough of the ECM 47 AS OX is the addition of the Progressive Water Discharge (PWD) drain pump and the X Safe sanitation mechanism. While standard ACM units demand a direct down-sloping gravity pipe line to prevent bin backup, this ECM version can forcefully elevate wastewater away up to 15 meters, bypassing complex building geometry.
Q: Does the integrated X Safe system mean my kitchen crew never have to manually scrub the bin?
A: X Safe heavily minimizes manual operations by continuously circulating chemical-free ozone to wipe out 99% of bacteria, yeast, and mould spores inside the vault. While it dramatically lowers slime accumulation and controls odours, you should still schedule routine descaling wipe-downs to strip away physical mineral deposits carried via the mains line.
Q: Can this under bench machine fit underneath an ultra-low cocktail station bench?
A: Yes. Featuring a tight, highly engineered height profile of just 645mm, this ice machine sits lower than most undercounter models on the market. It easily slides beneath standardized Australian counters, though you can also add an optional aftermarket leg kit if your layout requires extra clearance.
Q: How does the horizontal spray technology deal with high-mineral water areas across Australia?
A: The horizontal ice evaporator spray setup avoids the cloudiness typical of grid-freezing systems. Water is shot upward into inverted cups; pure molecules freeze first while heavy limescale, silt, and chemical sediment remain liquid and rinse out via the internal purge cycle, protecting the crisp taste of your drinks.
Q: Will the built-in PWD lift pump cycle continuously and create an ongoing background hum?
A: No. The PWD wastewater lifting pump operates dynamically on an internal float switch mechanism. It triggers briefly to exhaust water only when internal catch reservoirs become full during the ice-making or defrost cycles, ensuring quiet, low-noise performance during slow trade hours.
