Producing large amounts of ice in hot climates can be a difficult task. While a remote air-cooled condenser is typically the best solution, it may not always be possible to install one in certain locations. In such cases, a water-cooled commercial ice machine like the Scotsman C1448SW-3 Prodigy Plus® half cube ice maker is the ideal choice. This model, designed by a company with almost 70 years of experience in the ice business, can produce up to 1,444 lbs of ice in a 24-hour period under optimal conditions. The Prodigy Plus® line of products is known for its user-friendly features and reliability. The AutoAlert™ Indicator Lights provide users with the unit's status without being obtrusive. The One-Touch Cleaning feature allows for quick and easy automated cleaning, reducing labor costs. The removable self-aligning front panel makes it hassle-free to access major components for preventative maintenance. The WaterSense Purge Control system prevents flake buildup and ensures that the ice does not develop an odd taste. Additionally, the internal components are treated with an antimicrobial coating to prevent bacterial growth between cleaning cycles. The ice machine also features an industry-exclusive QR code that provides immediate access to unit-specific information, allowing service crews to efficiently perform their tasks and access service history and warranty information. The power requirements for this model are 208-230v/60/3-ph @ 11.9 amps. The ice produced is in the form of half cube ice measuring ?" x ?" x ?". The condenser cooling water required per 100 lbs of ice is 100 gallons, and the power consumption per 100 lbs of ice is 3.7 kWh. The machine also requires 18 gallons of potable water per 100 lbs of ice. It is certified by Conformité Européenne, the National Sanitation Foundation, and Underwriters Laboratories.
