Energy Saving, Low GWP, Hydrocarbon Flake & Nugget Ice Makers from Hoshizaki

By James Russell: Energy Saving, Low GWP, Hydrocarbon Flake & Nugget Ice Makers from Hoshizaki

March 2, 2015

Hoshizaki is committed to introducing environmentally friendly, hydrocarbon refrigerated products across its many ranges of ice makers and refrigeration equipment. These machines are exceptionally energy efficient and have virtually zero effect on global warming.

The FM-170EE-50-HC is a compact, self-contained, hydrocarbon ice maker which is available in either a flake ice or nugget ice option. Both have multiple uses for rapid chilling (because the ice packs tightly) and for display purposes. Therefore, this type of ice is popular with bars for rapidly chilling wine and cocktails and is also widely used in food retail and restaurants for cooling fish, fruit and vegetables. The ice has been developed to display foods in perfect condition without any possibility of freezer burn.

Hoshizaki’s FM-170EE-50-HC machines are micro computer-controlled meaning that they perform consistently well, self-adjusting to changing external circumstances without the need for operator intervention.

The ice makers are built to provide an outstanding level of performance and have a long life expectancy.  The augers and evaporators are made from high grade stainless steel ensuring exceptional durability. The air filters are front-sited and can be accessed and cleaned easily, helping reduce the necessity of maintenance calls-outs.

A further feature that contributes to the machines’ performance is the CO² foam insulated ice storage bins that provide outstanding insulation values that prevent ice melting quickly.

At an average ambient temperature of 21°C, the flake machine option will produce 135kgs in a 24 hour period while the nugget option will produce 120kgs. Output will be significantly higher in a cooler environment. The self-contained ice storage bin holds 57kgs.
