Hoshizaki FM-80KE-HCN - Nugget Ice Maker (75 kg)

The Hoshizaki FM-80KE-HCN has been developed for professional businesses that rely on high-quality nugget ice every day while prioritising reliability, hygiene and energy efficiency. With a production capacity of up to 75 kg of nugget ice per 24 hours and an integrated storage bin with a capacity of up to 32 kg, the unit is ideal for bars, restaurants, hotels, cafés, catering operations and a wide range of hospitality and healthcare applications.

The produced ice nuggets feature a firm, dry texture and a pleasant consistency. Thanks to their compact structure, they cool beverages efficiently while providing balanced dilution. This makes nugget ice particularly suitable for cocktails, soft drinks, smoothies and other beverage specialties. Premium cocktail concepts especially value nugget ice for its cooling performance and enjoyable texture.

At the heart of the unit is Hoshizaki’s proven auger system, which converts virtually all incoming water into ice. This technology enables highly efficient ice production while minimising water consumption. The stainless steel auger operates with durable carbon bearings that require no grease, helping to reduce maintenance requirements and the risk of contamination.

The closed water circuit protects the entire ice-making process from external influences and supports consistently high hygiene standards. In addition, the FM series features automatic rinse cycles that help reduce mineral build-up and maintain excellent water quality. This contributes to consistent ice quality and reliable day-to-day operation.

The electronic control system continuously monitors all operating parameters and supports preventive maintenance through an intuitive control display. This helps simplify maintenance planning and minimise downtime. Intelligent controls also ensure stable production performance under changing environmental conditions.

The housing and auger are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and designed for continuous professional use. Robust construction, easily accessible components and a washable air filter simplify cleaning and maintenance. Its compact dimensions also allow seamless integration into existing workspaces.

The FM-80KE-HCN uses natural refrigerant R290, combining high energy efficiency with reduced environmental impact while supporting reliable performance. The plug-and-play concept allows fast installation and straightforward commissioning.

The scope of delivery includes an installation kit and an ice scoop. Optional water filtration systems are available to further optimise water quality and support long-term equipment performance.
