Hoshizaki, FM Series 110KG Nugget ice, Ice Machine – FM-120KE-HCN

Description The Hoshizaki Electric company was founded by Mr Shigetoshi Sakamoto who demonstrated remarkable foresight when he started Hoshizaki in Nagoya Japan 1947. From an early stage Mr Sakamoto recognised the need to invest in research and technology and in 1959 his son Seishi joined the company. Together the pair worked with engineers who shared their vision and the breakthrough came with their invention of the first ice machine in Japan in 1965. With the company’s reputation for invention and consistent quality established at home in Japan, businesses from across the world began to demand Hoshizaki products. And gradually, with expansion firstly in Asia, America, then Europe and most recently the Middle East and Africa, Hoshizaki has become a truly global company reaching customers in over 100 countries. From humble beginnings, Hoshizaki equipment now serves the world, enabling customers to preserve, innovate, to heal and to educate in the professional, health, hospitality, bio-science, marine and education industries across every continent and in all climates. Placing reliability, durability and energy efficiency at the centre of the design process, generations of Hoshizaki engineers have helped build an international reputation for high quality, well-designed products. By merging with refrigeration specialist Gram Commercial, Hoshizaki have brought together the brilliance of Japanese engineering and the intelligence of Danish design. The collaboration has created the world’s most connected, innovative and responsible manufacturer of cold solutions. Together, They continue to explore the realms of possibility.   The Hoshizaki FM-120KE-HCN is a self contained nugget ice maker producing up to 110 kg of high-quality [nugget] ice per 24 hours. Hoshizaki ice makers generate quality granular ice in two moisture variants, such as Nugget ice. In Cocktails, the dry and hard ice nuggets are the ideal cooling agent, as they deliver just the right amount of dilution, especially for strong spirited drinks, for example, Mojitos and Tiki Cocktails. For food display, the light texture of granular ice has a quick cooling effect, creating an environment of uniform temperatures, without causing unpleasant freezer burn. This is why Hoshizaki Nugget ice is highly popular and considered the ideal material to prepare and layer attractive food displays. The ice maker’s extruding head performs a high compression to yield harder and drier ice nuggets.   Sustainable The FM-120KE-HCN uses refrigerant [R290].  This natural refrigerant is not only climate-friendly but also boosts the machine when it comes to performance and production capacity. Material The exterior is made of stainless steel. The closed water circuit provides maximum protection against any type of contamination during the entire ice production process. All Hoshizaki machines are easy to use, clean, and maintain. Unique Technology   The FM series has a worktime-based replacement system, which can be monitored with an intuitive control display for preventive maintenance. Hoshizaki was the first to introduce an automated water circuit rinse cycle, to avoid harmful mineral residues from clogging the hydraulic system and maintaining top sanitary conditions. Smart Design Like all Hoshizaki Ice makers, the FM-120KE-HCN is designed to last and comes with smart design extras. The Nugget ice maker uses carbon graphite bushings instead of conventional ball bearings allows the machine to work entirely without grease. Here, the absence of moving parts prevents wear and tear,  while the water-lubricated bearings protect the system from unpleasant calcification and bacterial contamination. Perfect Fit With outside dimensions W x D x H of 640 x 600 x 800 mm,  the FM-120KE-HCN is compact and makes a perfect fit for small spaces. Plug&Play The smart plug-and-play design guarantees an extremely easy and quick set-up.   Specification: Bin capacity: 32kg approx. 24hr production: 110kg approx.
