A brighter ice-making technology

Scotsman Ice Systems, a leading innovator of ice technology, introduces Prodigy™, one of the smartest, most foolproof, resource-efficient ice machines on the market today.

Prodigy features a state-of-the-art self-monitoring system that provides up-to-the-minute reporting on the machine’s performance, as well as maintenance needs. This latest advance in ice making visually indicates when Prodigy is making ice, as well as when it’s due for critical maintenance procedures. The external diagnostic light panel makes it easy for anyone in the kitchen to read and understand—from senior managers to dishwashers.

Among the most energy-efficient machines on the market today, Prodigy is also one of the first cubers to exceed both the 2008 California Energy Commission and 2010 US Federal Energy Efficiency regulations, surpassing those standards by up to 22 percent*.

In addition to energy-saving performance, Prodigy reduces water use, too. Using patented WaterSense™ and other technology, the unit automatically measures water quality and minimizes the water required for ice making, harvesting, and cleaning. The result is fresher tasting ice, maximum ice production and reduced water use.

Prodigy qualifies for the Enodis EnerLogic™ seal, recognizing the company’s most energy-efficient products as measured by a variety of independent test methods. All of these things combined mean that Prodigy not only equates to good energy stewardship, but to a stronger bottom line as well.

Preventative maintenance and servicing is now easy and virtually foolproof due to Prodigy’s SmartBoard™ advanced features and diagnostic code display. Technicians can determine any operating issue quickly, ensuring equipment is fixed right the first time, saving customers time and money.

Prodigy joins a long list of energy and resource efficient ice machines available from Scotsman and Enodis. Together, Enodis Ice Group companies offer nearly 100 models qualified for energy-saving rebates in California and other locations in the US.

Scotsman also continues to enjoy tremendous success with Scotsman Nugget Ice, the original chewable Nugget Ice ™. Research conducted with C-Store operators shows that 85% prefer Scotsman Nugget ice in their beverages over other ice forms.

Foodservice chain restaurants, convenience stores and retail operators continue to discover how Scotsman Nugget ice contributes to higher customer traffic, increased sales, and water and energy savings, all leading to higher profits from beverage sales. Scotsman and Enodis continue an aggressive industry campaign to communicate those benefits. That campaign is paying off for operators and also for Scotsman, which enjoyed sales increases of approximately 40% on Nugget Ice machines in 2005 and continuing strong sales in 2006.
