Scotsman NU 227 AS OX Dice Ice Machine

Specifications from the Moffat Australia NU 227 AS OX spec sheet.

The Scotsman NU 227 AS OX is a self contained undercounter ice maker that makes up to 95kg of dice cubes a day at 21°C, or 68kg at 32°C, into a 37kg built in bin. It has the XSafe natural sanitation system, plugs into a standard 10A power point, drains by gravity and sells for $4,480 ex GST. Scotsman ice makers are distributed and serviced in Australia by Moffat, with a 3 year parts and labour warranty.

Best for: busy restaurants, clubs, pubs and takeaways that want an all round dice cube and use around 70 to 95kg of ice a day.

NU 227 AS OX overview

The NU 227 AS OX steps up from the NU 150 AS OX with 27kg more ice a day and nearly double the bin, 37kg against 20kg. It needs a slightly bigger footprint, 650 x 690mm against 600 x 610mm, for $900 more.

The NUH 227 AS OX is the same machine and price with the half dice cube. If you need more again, the NU 307 AS OX makes up to 125kg a day into the same 37kg bin and footprint, standing taller at 1003mm.

How the NU 227 AS OX makes ice

The NU 227 AS OX uses Scotsman's vertical evaporator spray system. Water sprays onto a vertical evaporator grid and freezes into individual dice cubes, which drop into the bin at the end of each cycle.

Each cube is a 10g dice cube, 22mm each way. Dice is the all round cube: it suits soft drinks, spirits and cocktails, and is easy to scoop.

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.

Which dice ice maker do I need?

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

Simple to run

One touch cleaning runs the clean cycle at the press of a button, which saves time and labour. A light on the front panel comes on if the machine is due for routine maintenance, and the condenser air filter is easy to get to from the front. The bin door lifts and slides away out of the way to get to the ice.

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 NU 227 AS OX and the NUH 227 AS OX?
Same machine, same price, same 95kg a day at 21°C and 37kg bin. The NU 227 AS OX makes a 10g dice cube, 22mm each way, the all round cube. The NUH 227 AS OX makes a 6g half dice cube, 10 x 22 x 28mm, which packs tight into a glass or jug.

What is the difference between the NU 227 AS OX and the NU 307 AS OX?
Same 650 x 690mm footprint, same 37kg bin and same dice cube. The NU 307 AS OX makes up to 125kg a day at 21°C against 95kg, and 99kg at 32°C against 68kg. It stands 1003mm high against 870mm, so it won't go under a bench. It is $200 more.

How much ice does the NU 227 AS OX make?
Up to 95kg a day at 21°C air with 10°C water, and 68kg a day at 32°C air with 21°C water. Use the 32°C figure if your kitchen runs hot in summer. The 37kg bin refills as you use it.

Will the NU 227 AS OX fit under my bench?
It is 870mm high, 650mm wide and 690mm deep. Measure the clear height under your bench before you order, because 870mm is tight under a standard 900mm bench. Leave 100mm clear at the back and 150mm at 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 NU 227 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.

What water and drain connection does the NU 227 AS OX need?
A ¾ inch cold water connection with water between 5°C and 38°C at 100 to 500kPa. The drain is gravity, so the floor waste or drain has to sit lower than the machine's ¾ inch drain outlet.

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 NU 227 AS OX?
Run the one touch clean cycle regularly and wash the condenser air filter, 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 NU 227 AS OX?
The machine comes with a removable air filter, an ice scoop, a water hose and a drain hose. A leg kit is available as an optional extra.

Do you have scratch and dent NU 227 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.
