Only 415 mm wide, the Scotsman HID 525 makes up to 220 kg of nugget ice per 24 h at +10 °C air and water, or 152 kg at +32/+21 °C, keeping 11 kg in its internal store. The compressed-flake pieces weigh about 1 g. The unit is air-cooled and combines an ice maker with a dispenser.
It has a stainless-steel evaporator and exterior panels, greaseless bearings and a large sink opening and dispensing area. Contoured sides and an external air filter improve airflow. Servicing is done from the front: the front panels and storage bin are removable, LED diagnostic lights cut service time, and a QR code links to the unit's service manuals.
The narrow cabinet measures 415 × 619 × 991 mm, with a net weight of 90 kg and 95 kg gross. Supply 230 V / 50 Hz; refrigerant R404A.
