The Hoshizaki FM-480AKE is a modular flake ice machine producing approximately 425 kg of flake ice per day under standard conditions (21°C air, 15°C water), making it a high-output solution for commercial kitchens, supermarkets, healthcare facilities, catering operations, cocktail bars and seafood displays. Hoshizaki flake ice consists of roughly 70% ice and 30% water, delivering a soft, pliable ice ideal for cooling, food presentation and even medical applications such as organ transportation.
Key Highlights
Product Overview
Powered by a proven auger-driven ice-making system, the FM-480AKE uses water at a rate precisely matched to ice production, minimising waste and running costs. The unit operates on a standard 10-amp plug, consumes just 8.4 kWh per 24 hours, and uses R404A refrigerant with gravity drain only. A storage bin is not included and must be specified separately. With its robust carbon auger bearings, automatic flush function and operational status display, this machine is engineered for reliable, low-maintenance daily performance.
Key Benefits
- ✓High daily output of approximately 425 kg at standard conditions (and around 325 kg at elevated 32°C air/21°C water conditions) keeps busy operations continuously supplied with fresh flake ice.
- ✓Flake ice eliminates freeze burn concerns when displaying fresh fish, seafood, produce and bottled beverages, preserving product quality and presentation.
- ✓The auger system matches water consumption directly to ice production, reducing water waste and lowering operating costs compared with conventional ice-making methods.
- ✓Carbon auger bearings offer a longer service life than roller bearings, reducing the frequency and cost of maintenance interventions.
- ✓The automatic flush function actively cleans the ice-making system, supporting food safety and hygiene with minimal manual effort.
- ✓An operational status display on the controller board simplifies troubleshooting, helping technicians diagnose issues quickly and minimise downtime.
- ✓Runs on a standard 10-amp plug with low energy consumption of 8.4 kWh per 24 hours, keeping electricity costs manageable even during extended operation.
- ✓The unit can be converted to produce nugget ice by changing the extruding head and cutter, providing versatility as operational needs evolve (conversion parts available at additional cost).
- ✓Backed by a 2-year parts and labour warranty on the entire unit plus a 5-year parts-only warranty on the compressor and air-cooled condenser coil, offering strong long-term peace of mind.
