The Scotsman HID 312 is an air-cooled ice maker and dispenser in one, making nugget ice: compressed-flake pieces of about 1 g. Output is up to 115 kg per 24 h at +10 °C air and water, or 91 kg at +32/+21 °C, with a 5 kg internal store. The manufacturer describes its footprint as very small relative to its capacity.
The evaporator and exterior panels are stainless steel, the bearings are greaseless, and the sink opening and dispensing area are generously sized. Contoured sides and an external air filter help the unit breathe. Removable front panels give access to the key internal components, and the storage bin can be taken out for cleaning.
LED diagnostic lights and a unit-specific QR code speed up servicing. External dimensions are 415 × 619 × 991 mm. The unit runs on a 230 V / 50 Hz supply and uses R134a refrigerant; the exterior is stainless steel.
