The world’s smartest cuber gets even better: nugget and flake options now available with Agion
Wakefield, MA – October 6, 2009 – Agion®, the worldwide leader in natural silver-based antimicrobial technologies and Scotsman®, the world's largest manufacturer of ice systems, have announced the launch of two new Scotsman ice machines that feature Agion protection. The new Nugget and Flake ice machines are the latest additions to the award winning Prodigy® series of ice makers, all of which incorporate Agion’s natural antimicrobial protection.
Hailed as “the world’s smartest cuber,” the Prodigy family of machines offers a multitude of advanced features making them the smartest, most reliable ice machines on the market today. Key features include; a self monitoring system that communicates when it needs cleaning, cost saving energy efficiency and built-in Agion antimicrobial protection which inhibits the growth of bacteria, algae and mold on ice-machine surfaces which can cause odor and taste problems.
“Agion is proud to partner with Scotsman in the launch of the state-of-the-art Prodigy Series of ice machines combining energy-efficient operation with natural antimicrobial protection,” said Paul Ford, CEO of Agion Technologies. “Agion continues to be the preferred antimicrobial technology of the water industry.”
“Utilizing Agion, which is molded directly into key ice machine components, has helped protect our Prodigy ice machines and offer a better quality ice cube and a more reliable ice machine,” said Jeff Biel, Product Manager, Scotsman ice systems.
The new Prodigy ice machines have been adopted by many leading restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and hospitals around the world. Built-in antimicrobial protection makes them perfect for supermarket fish and produce displays, restaurant beverages, and chewable ice found in hospitals.
