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.
