Scotsman HID312AX-1 16″ Meridian Touch-Free Air Cooled Countertop Nugget Ice Machine & Water Dispenser – 320 Lbs.

The Scotsman HID312AX-1 16″ Meridian Touch-Free Countertop Ice Machine & Water Dispenser is built for high-demand commercial environments where sanitation, reliability, and space efficiency are non-negotiable priorities. This machine produces up to 320 Lbs. and stores up to 12 Lbs. of H² Nugget Ice per day; and dispenses water via touch-free infrared sensor mechanism, delivering quick and hygienic operation. Designed with a stainless-steel evaporator and exterior panels, intuitive LED diagnostic lights, a unit-specific QR code for instant access to service documentation, and a USB port for fast on-site software updates.

AgION® and additional antimicrobial compounds are molded directly into key internal components to actively inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and algae. The sealed refrigeration system further limits exposure to airborne contaminants, while the front-accessible, removable air filter and fully removable bin, spouts, sink, and grill make routine sanitation straightforward and efficient. Sealed, maintenance-free bearings reduce the need for scheduled preventative maintenance, extending machine life and lowering long-term service costs.

Intuitive LED diagnostic lights allow to identify issues faster, while the USB port enables quick software updates directly on-site without requiring support. The unit-specific QR code gives instant access to manuals and warranty history. Compatible accessories include KLP24A adjustable legs and HST16-A or HST16B-A machine stands, offering flexible installation configurations to suit different counter heights and kitchen layouts.
