SCCP50

Overview

The Scotsman SCCP50 is an undercounter gourmet ice machine with a nominal 15-inch cabinet width. It makes uniquely shaped, crystal-clear gourmet cubes described in the product documentation as taste-free, odorless and slow-melting. The cube measures 1 × 1 1/8 × 1 1/4 inches (2.54 × 2.86 × 3.18 cm), making it suitable for serving in mixed drinks where slower melting can help limit dilution.

Daily production depends on the air and water conditions: the specification gives 65 lb (30 kg) per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and 50 lb (23 kg) at 90°F air and 70°F water. The insulated bin stores up to 26 lb (12 kg). SCCP models use a built-in drain pump to expel drain water; the family documentation distinguishes this from SCCG gravity-drain models.

Key Features

• Gourmet cube ice: The documented cube size is 1 × 1 1/8 × 1 1/4 inches (2.54 × 2.86 × 3.18 cm). The ice is described as clear, taste-free, odorless and slow-melting.
• Water-quality sensor: Detects hard-water conditions and causes the control system to purge mineral-laden water with every harvest cycle. The specification says this helps extend the time between cleanings.
• Built-in drain pump: The SCCP drain configuration pumps drain water through the supplied drain tube.
• Operator indicators: The control panel indicates power status, a no-water condition and when cleaning is due.
• Bin and access: The bin is lighted, and the door is self-closing.
• Cabinet and front options: Documentation lists black, white and stainless-steel front options, as well as the option of a custom wood front panel. A custom panel can weigh no more than 15 lb.

Installation & Requirements

Provide the electrical supply shown for the machine: 115 V, 60 Hz, single phase. The listed current is 5 A and the maximum fuse size is 15. The manual states that the unit requires the voltage indicated on its rating nameplate and that failures caused by improper voltage are not considered factory defects. Its specified voltage tolerance is ±10%.

Connect potable water at the 1/4-inch compression inlet. The stated operating limits are 20 to 80 PSIG water pressure and 40°F to 100°F water temperature. The listed ambient air operating range is 50°F to 100°F. The manual says models other than the specifically identified outdoor models are not intended for outdoor installation or operation outside the stated air and water temperature limits. It identifies a stainless-steel outdoor model in the SCCG50/SCCP50 family; confirm the exact machine configuration before specifying outdoor use.

For a custom wood or other-material door panel, the instructions specify a maximum weight of 15 lb, a width of 14 7/8 inches, a height from 29 3/8 to 30 3/8 inches and a thickness from 5/8 to 3/4 inch. Attachment is from the ice side of the door using the holes provided. The panel instructions direct the installer to determine the available cabinet opening, kickplate space and top clearance before cutting the panel, and to adjust machine height so the door reaches the desired position.

Operation

The control panel reports whether power is on, alerts the operator to a no-water condition and provides a time-to-clean reminder. The water-quality sensor detects hard-water conditions; during every harvest cycle, the control system purges mineral-laden water. The bin has an interior light and a self-closing door. The product documentation describes the ice as slow-melting and intended for drinks, including mixed drinks.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The control panel’s clean reminder indicates when cleaning is due. The water-quality sensor’s mineral purge is described as helping extend the time between cleanings, not as eliminating cleaning. The supplied service documentation does not provide a step-by-step cleaning procedure or a cleaning interval, so follow the complete instructions for the specific machine rather than assuming a schedule.

Service documentation identifies the water pump, spray platform, spray nozzles, evaporator, compressor, condenser, water inlet solenoid valve, fan motor, thermistor, water probe, controller and drain components as service parts. When ordering a replacement, the parts documentation advises referring to the complete model number because components can differ between model revisions. It notes changes to fan-related components and model series, as well as a later compressor and controller-value change; confirm component compatibility against the machine’s complete identification.

Troubleshooting

The control panel provides a no-water alert, but the supplied excerpts do not give a diagnostic sequence or repair procedure for that alert. They also do not document troubleshooting steps for low production, unusual noise or other fault symptoms. Check the machine’s complete service documentation for the applicable model revision before diagnosing or replacing a component. The manual specifically warns that operation outside the stated air, water or electrical limits can affect operation; improper voltage is not considered a factory defect.

Applications

The SCCP50’s undercounter cabinet and gourmet cube format suit beverage stations, bars and foodservice settings serving drinks. Its documented bin capacity is 26 lb, while daily output varies with the specified air and water conditions. The clear, slow-melting cube is described for mixed drinks and other beverage service where a larger gourmet-style cube is preferred.
