Common Questions About Scotsman Nugget Ice Maker

What can I use nugget ice for?

Although it's most often touted for its popularity in beverages, including soft drinks and water, because it absorbs flavors and is soft enough to chew, nugget ice has many other uses in foodservice and beyond because of their convenient design and simple servicing. Scotsman commercial nugget ice machines may be used in the following applications:

  • Blended drinks: The size and softness of nugget ice is great for smoothies and cocktails.

  • Buffets: Use nugget ice at a salad bar or to chill bottled drinks and other grab-and-go snacks that can be nestled into the ice.

  • Healthcare: These small pellets of ice can be used to ice wounds or keep patients hydrated when they are unable to swallow water or have larger forms of ice.

What configurations are Scotsman nugget ice makers available in?

Most Scotsman nugget ice machines come in head units; these can be paired with the bin or dispenser of your choosing or can be purchased already paired with one. In operations that don't require high volumes of ice per day, an undercounter unit may be sufficient. These are commonly installed in breakrooms and at supplementary drink stations.
