Maestro Plus performance.
The Maestro Plus 414 Series is engineered for efficient ice production in demanding environments. Its advanced stainless-steel evaporator and auger system deliver consistent Chewblet® or flake ice even under high usage conditions. Regular flushing and a semi-automatic cleaning cycle maintain performance while reducing scale, improving the quality of ice, and minimizing operator maintenance.
Chewblet® performance
- Preferred over cube ice by more than 2:1 (page 1)
- Soft, chewable, and ideal for patient satisfaction in medical environments
- Slow melting and high displacement make it excellent for beverages
Flake Ice performance
- Rapid chilling thanks to high surface area
- Easily molds around containers, perfect for displays and cold prep
- Protects products from damage due to cushioning ice texture
Performance spotlight
- 425 lb/day Chewblet® or flake ice at 70°F air / 50°F water
- 315 lb/day at 90°F / 70°F conditions
- R290 refrigerant for maximum efficiency and reduced environmental impact
- 5.4 kWh energy consumption (90°F/70°F conditions)
- 12 gallons of potable water per 100 lb of ice

Compact Neo Series: These compact ice cube machines are ideal for small volume ice production, for limited use needs, or as back-ups for larger machines.
CrystalCraft™: The clear choice for gourmet cubes just got bigger. Crystal clear, leisurely slow melting cubes that make your most decadent beverage creations shine.
Why choose a Follett Machine?
Follett ice machines produce customer-preferred Chewblet ice in top mount and industry exclusive ice-through-a-tube configurations
Maestro Plus: Compact ice machines Maestro Plus ice machines deliver up to 425 lbs of Chewblet ice in less space
SmartGATE: Fresher, cleaner ice is always at hand with first-in-first-out ice turnover.
Ice•DevIce: Sanitary gravity dispensing eliminates scooping for cleaner, safer ice. Ice•DevIce dispenses ice 7 times faster than scooping.
Why choose a True Ice Machine?
Protected with TrueZone: Built with sanitation in mind, helping operators maintain a hygienic ice environment with ease.TrueZone™ protection purifies the air in both the bin and food zone.
Advanced Control with Touch Screen: True ice machines features one of the most intuitive and largest control systems in the industry, designed to enhance daily operation.
Time-of-Flight: Smart control systems boost operations with ice sensors that eliminate the need for traditional bin thermostats.
R290 refrigerant: Superior energy performance and lower environmental impact. It operates up to 37% below Energy Star standards, reducing utility costs while supporting sustainability initiatives.
Why choose a Hoshizaki Ice Machine?
Two-sided stainless steel evaporator: Smooth, durable surfaces makes twice as much ice per cycle. Increased energy efficiency producing consistent cube size - no adjustments, no clusters to break-up.
Individual crescent cube production: Impurities are flushed away each cycle leaving hard, crystal‐clear ice that lasts longer and has better displacement.
CycleSaverTM: HOSHIZAKI KM Cubers will produce more ice, using less energy and cycling half as many times resulting in longer life, less maintenance, and increased customer profits.
Simple controls: By eliminating the problem areas such as complicated electronic controls, plated surface evaporators, extrusions, and critical adjustments, Hoshizaki machines are considerably easier to operate.
