Self-Contained Cubelet Ice Machine – 74kg Output
The Scotsman AFC 87 XSafe is a compact, self-contained ice machine designed to produce high-quality cubelet ice for a wide range of foodservice and healthcare applications. Delivering up to 74kg of ice per day with integrated storage, this model provides dealers and resellers with a versatile and hygienic solution for cafés, bars, healthcare facilities and hospitality environments across the UK.
High-Quality Cubelet Ice Production
The AFC 87 produces “cubelet” ice (compressed ice flakes), combining the advantages of flake ice and traditional cubes. This type of ice is soft, chewable and highly adaptable, making it ideal for both beverage service and specialist applications.
Key benefits of cubelet ice include:
- Soft, chewable texture ideal for drinks and healthcare use
- Rapid cooling with excellent surface contact
- Easy dispensing and handling
- Reduced splashing and improved drink presentation
This makes the unit suitable for both front-of-house beverage service and back-of-house or clinical environments.
Compact Performance with Integrated Storage
Engineered to deliver reliable ice production in a compact footprint:
- Production capacity: Up to 74kg per 24 hours
- Output at 32°C air / 21°C water: 58kg per 24 hours
- Integrated storage bin capacity: 25kg
- Air-cooled system
- Refrigerant: R290 natural refrigerant
- Electrical supply: 230V / 50Hz / single phase
The integrated storage bin ensures a ready supply of ice for peak service periods without the need for additional equipment.
