NME454, 654 & FME504, 804

OPERATION: Refrigeration

Beginning at the compressor, the refrigerant is compressed into a high temperature gas. The discharge line directs this gas to the condenser. At the condenser (air or water cooled) the gas is cooled by either air or water and it then condenses into a liquid. This high pressure liquid then goes through the liquid line to the expansion valve.

The thermostatic expansion valve meters liquid refrigerant into the evaporator, the volume of liquid refrigerant depending upon the temperature of the evaporator.

At the evaporator, the refrigerant enters an area of relatively low pressure, where it can easily “boil off” or evaporate. As it evaporates, it absorbs heat from the evaporator and whatever is in contact with it (such as the water inside it). After the evaporator, the refrigerant, now a low pressure vapor, goes through the suction line back to compressor, where the cycle is repeated.

FME504, FME804, NME654, NME454 specifications

Scotsman Ice Systems is known for its high-quality ice machines, and models such as the NME454, NME654, FME804, and FME504 are no exceptions. Designed with both performance and efficiency in mind, these machines cater to various business needs, from restaurants to convenience stores.

The NME454 and NME654 units are renowned for their compact design, making them ideal for establishments with limited space. Despite their smaller size, these machines do not compromise on ice production capacity. The NME454 can produce up to 430 pounds of ice per day, while the NME654 boasts an impressive output of up to 600 pounds. Both models utilize Scotsman's signature innovative technology to ensure consistent ice quality, primarily in the form of nugget ice, which is favored for its ability to cool beverages quickly.

In contrast, the FME804 and FME504 are larger-capacity machines that cater to high-volume requirements. The FME804 can produce around 800 pounds of ice daily, making it suitable for busy restaurants or bars. The FME504, while slightly smaller, still offers impressive production capabilities of up to 500 pounds per day. These machines incorporate advanced features such as the AquaArmor protective layer, which inhibits bacterial growth, ensuring that the ice produced is not only abundant but also hygienic.

All four models utilize an innovative air-cooled design that enhances energy efficiency and reduces operational costs. The easy-to-use control panel allows for straightforward operation, and maintenance is streamlined thanks to easily accessible components. Additionally, the quiet operation of the machines ensures that they can be used in front-of-house areas without distracting customers.

In terms of construction, Scotsman ice machines are built to last with corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring longevity in demanding environments. With simple installation processes and compatibility with various environments, including indoor and outdoor settings, these units provide adaptability for any business scenario.

Overall, Scotsman’s NME454, NME654, FME804, and FME504 ice machines combine robust performance with innovative technology, catering efficiently to diverse ice production needs while maintaining high standards of hygiene and reliability.
