Scotsman ECM 47 AS OX Medium Gourmet Cube Ice Machine, Drain Pump

Specifications from the Moffat Australia ECM 47 AS OX spec sheet.

The Scotsman ECM 47 AS OX is a self contained undercounter ice maker that makes up to 24kg of clear medium gourmet cubes a day at 21°C, or 18kg at 32°C, into a 9kg built in bin. It has a drain pump, so it doesn't need a drain lower than the machine, and the XSafe natural sanitation system. It plugs into a standard 10A power point and sells for $2,390 ex GST. Scotsman ice makers are distributed and serviced in Australia by Moffat, with a 3 year parts and labour warranty.

Best for: cafes, small bars and restaurants that want clear gourmet cubes for drinks, use around 15 to 20kg of ice a day, and don't have a floor waste right where the machine needs to go.

ECM 47 AS OX overview

The ECM 47 AS OX is the smallest machine in the EC range. It shares its 386mm wide cabinet, cube and bin with the ACM 47 AS. The difference is the drain and sanitation. The ACM 47 AS drains by gravity, so it needs a floor waste lower than the machine. The ECM 47 AS OX pumps its water out up to 15 metres, so it can go where the drain isn't.

If you want a small cube in the same width, the ECS 57 AS OX makes up to 31kg a day into a 12kg bin. If you need more ice, the ECM 107 AS OX makes up to 51kg a day of the same medium cube.

How the ECM 47 AS OX makes ice

The ECM 47 AS OX uses Scotsman's horizontal evaporator spray system. Water sprays up into cups on the underside of the evaporator and freezes in layers. Minerals and air stay in the water that doesn't freeze, so the cubes come out clear and hard and melt slowly in a drink.

Each cube is a 20g gourmet cube, 30mm across and 34mm high. The machine has the XSafe natural sanitation system, and Agion Technology resists the growth of microbes and the development of odours.

XSafe puts an LED UV light in the bin. The light turns the air in the bin ozone rich, and that air works its way through the ice and the whole bin, killing 99% of known viruses and bacteria and cutting down mould, mildew, yeast and slime. The ozone stays in the air, not the water, so there is no taint in the ice. It makes no heat and no noise, and has no moving parts. Read more in our XSafe guide.

Progressive Water Discharge pumps the leftover water out through the drain hose, up to 15 metres. That means the machine doesn't rely on gravity, so the drain can be higher than the machine or further away.

Which gourmet ice maker do I need?

All four are self contained Scotsman gourmet ice makers with a built in bin, 10A plug in and 3 year Moffat warranty. The difference is cube size, output, drain and footprint.

Simple to run

The ECM 47 AS OX runs on simple electromechanical controls, so there is very little to go wrong. A light on the front panel comes on if the machine is due for routine maintenance. The condenser air filter pulls out from the front for washing, so the machine stays where it is. The disappearing bin door opens out of the way and closes softly on a damper.

Warranty and support

3 year parts and labour warranty, backed by Moffat Australia with on site service Australia wide. It covers faults in parts and workmanship under normal commercial use. Routine cleaning, descaling and filter maintenance aren't covered. See all Scotsman ice makers or read our warranty page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the ECM 47 AS OX and the ACM 47 AS?
Same cabinet, same 20g medium gourmet cube and same 9kg bin. The ECM 47 AS OX adds the XSafe natural sanitation system and Progressive Water Discharge, a drain pump that moves water up to 15 metres, so it doesn't need a drain lower than the machine. The ACM 47 AS drains by gravity, makes a little more ice, 25kg a day at 21°C against 24kg, and is $250 cheaper.

How much ice does the ECM 47 AS OX make?
Up to 24kg a day at 21°C air with 10°C water, and 18kg a day at 32°C air with 21°C water. Use the 32°C figure if your kitchen runs hot in summer. The 9kg bin refills as you use it.

Will the ECM 47 AS OX fit under my bench?
At 645mm high, 386mm wide and 600mm deep it fits under a standard 900mm bench. Leave 150mm clear at the back and both sides so the machine can breathe. It runs in air temperatures from 10°C to 43°C.

Do I need a plumber or electrician to install the ECM 47 AS OX?
No. It plugs into a standard 10A power point and connects to a cold water tap with the supplied water hose. The supplied drain hose runs to a floor waste or drain.

Does the ECM 47 AS OX have a drain pump?
Yes. The drain pump is built in. Scotsman calls it Progressive Water Discharge, and it pumps the water out through the supplied drain hose up to 15 metres. You don't need a floor waste lower than the machine.

What water and drain connection does the ECM 47 AS OX need?
A ¾ inch cold water connection with water between 5°C and 38°C at 100 to 500kPa. The drain pump, or pump out drain, moves water up to 15 metres through the drain hose, so the drain can be higher than the machine or further away.

What is the difference between medium and small gourmet cubes?
The medium gourmet cube in the ECM 47 AS OX is 20g, 30mm across and 34mm high. The small gourmet cube in machines like the ECS 57 AS OX is 8g, 21mm across and 25mm high. Medium suits spirits, cocktails and soft drinks in a standard glass. Small packs tighter into tall glasses and jugs.

What is XSafe?
XSafe is Scotsman's natural sanitation system. An LED UV light in the bin makes the air ozone rich, and that air kills 99% of known viruses and bacteria through the ice and bin. It doesn't filter your water or stop scale, so you still need filtered water, descaling and a full bin clean from time to time. Our XSafe guide covers it in full.

How do I look after the ECM 47 AS OX?
Pull the condenser air filter out from the front and wash it regularly, more often in a greasy or dusty kitchen. A light on the front panel comes on if the machine is due for routine maintenance. Have a technician replace the XSafe LED every 12 months so it stays covered by the warranty. Regular cleaning and descaling are part of normal maintenance and aren't covered by warranty.

What comes with the ECM 47 AS OX?
The machine comes with a removable air filter, an ice scoop, a water hose and a drain hose. Legs are an optional extra.

Do you have scratch and dent ECM 47 AS OX machines?
Sometimes. Moffat occasionally has units with freight damage or ex-display stock at a lower price. It comes down to availability, so ask us if you want one.
