Q&A In your option, What do you think of the

current situation with influence of
COVID-19 in the beverage industry?
What changes should operators make?
Food safety is under a spotlight due to COVID-19 and ice is definitely a crit-
ical point of contaminaton. The two ways to overcome the problem are auto-
matic dosing of ice (no scooping) or continuous sanitation of ice in the bin.
Scotsman is offerting both solution, with the introduction of XSafe as a
standard feature on all scotsman range.

Comparing the other ice-maker machine , what advantage of SCOTS-
MAN’s product , especially drink production health and safety prob-
lem considered ?
XSafe is definitely a straordinary innovation, as through a totally natural
process, it’s constantly cleaning the food zone of the ice maker, killing all
kind of viruses, bacteria, mold, yeast. XSafe automatically operates behind
the scenes 24/365 to keep equipment clean and safe. No chemicals are used
and the ice remain tasteless, as it should be.

In the past few year , the food equipment played more attention on
intelligent technology , what do you see this trend in SCOTSMAN’s
future development ?
We are currenlty developing a completely new electronic platform for our range
the will have intelligent technology and iot capability. It will improve strongly
the way to “talk” with the machine, keeping under control the efficient and safe
working of the ice maker.

Which type of beverage shops / customers would you recommend
choosing an XSafe system?And why ?
XSafe will be a standard feature on our rage, and any operator will benefit from
this extremely innovative feature. Ice will be safer than ever, and the cleaning
frequency of the ice maker can be reduced by at least 50%.

Could you please tell us more about SCOTSMAN’s future innovations
in ice health and safety?
We are going to increase the number of models with automatic dosing of
ice, which it’s another way to reduce at minimum the possibility of ice
contamnation. Anyway as traditonal ice makers with manual ice
scooping will not disappear, we will go on improving even more
our new XSafe feature just introduced.
