Ice cube maker Scotsman EXG 87

The EXG 87 is the mid-sized model in Scotsman's EXG range for bars and restaurants, making solid, crystal-clear 20 g Gourmet cubes. Output is up to 45 kg per 24 h at +10 °C air and water, or 37 kg at +32/+21 °C, and the built-in bin holds 21 kg. Front ventilation lets the machine be built in, and the integrated drain pump means it does not depend on a gravity drain.

Servicing is simpler with automatic XSafe sanitising and internal parts that come out without tools; start-up can be delayed, and remote support is available through the free XWave app. The model meets ENERGY STAR and LEED eligibility criteria and has a black finish.

Cooling options are AS (air) and WS (water). Width 540 mm, depth 555 mm, height 847 mm; it weighs 47 kg net and 54 kg gross. The machine uses R290 refrigerant (GWP 3, ODP

0) on a 230 V / 50 Hz supply, with a rated power of 408 W, electricity use of 8 kWh per 24 h and AS water use of 5 l/h.
