The EXG range (distributed in the UK by Hubbard Systems) features multiple upgrades for better efficiency, appearance, installation, and servicing. Key points include:
- Efficiency gains: Models use about 10% less power and water than the EC series. They meet Energy Star and LEED eligibility criteria and use R290 refrigerant (GWP of 3, ODP of 0).
- Design and installation: Striking all-black fascia suited to back bars; front-venting refrigeration system allows full built-in installation; new 3D front grid for optimized airflow; dimensions matched to industry standards for easy fitting.
- Ice production: Produces Scotsman’s signature thimble-shaped gourmet supercubes by spraying water upward into inverted cups (impurities fall away for clearer, purer ice ideal for premium drinks). Six models range from the EXG 47 (up to ~25 kg/day) to the EXG 307 (up to ~150 kg/day).
- Technical improvements: More efficient Progressive Water Discharge (PWD) pump that can move excess water up to 15 m to a drain; optimized evaporator surface for higher productivity; water spray pump with two velocity options; water valve with purge function to reduce scale and improve cube clarity.
- Hygiene and connectivity: Fitted with the Scotsman XSafe system (helps destroy viruses/bacteria and reduce mold, yeast, mildew, slime, and odors). X Wave app enables remote monitoring and issue alerts. Units are constructed of 304 stainless steel.
List prices start around £2,795 for the EXG 47 (UK figures). The series was highlighted around Host Milano 2025 (alongside related AXG models) and was listed as available from Q1 2026 via Hubbard Systems.
This is part of broader recent Scotsman updates emphasizing efficiency, natural refrigerants, connectivity, and hygiene across various ice machine lines.
