Overview

Hoshizaki KM-140C-HC Crescent Edge Ice Maker with 55kg Storage Bin

The Hoshizaki KM-140C-HC is a self-contained commercial crescent ice maker capable of producing up to 130kg of premium Crescent Edge ice per 24 hours, with a built-in 55kg storage bin. Part of the Hoshizaki KM Edge series, it features an enlarged double-sided bonded stainless steel evaporator that accelerates freeze and harvest cycles, producing more ice in fewer cycles and reducing overall energy consumption. With a compact footprint and flush rear-wall mounting capability, it suits restaurants, bars, hotels, and busy commercial kitchens of all sizes.

Crescent Edge ice cubes are individually formed, crystal clear, exceptionally hard, and slow melting, making them ideal for premium beverage service with minimal dilution. The KM-140C-HC is built to meet strict hygiene and food safety standards and incorporates a range of operator-friendly features including a snap-in water tank for easy sanitation, a slide-in front air filter, an EverCheck control board with audible alarms and diagnostics, a fully automated chemical cleaning function, and HoshiGuard antimicrobial protection throughout the ice-making path. It runs on a standard single-phase 10A supply using R290 refrigerant and is backed by a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Key Benefits

• High daily output of up to 130kg ensures ice availability is never a bottleneck during peak service periods.
• Crescent Edge ice is crystal clear, hard, and slow melting, maintaining drink presentation quality and reducing beverage dilution.
• CycleSaver double-sided evaporator technology produces ice on both sides simultaneously, delivering more ice per cycle and cutting overall cycle frequency to reduce energy use.
• Automated chemical cleaning and a snap-in water tank simplify routine sanitation, reducing labour time and supporting consistent food safety compliance.
• EverCheck control board with LED status indicators and audible alarms makes fault identification straightforward, helping service technicians diagnose issues quickly.
• Slide-in front air filter is easily accessible for regular cleaning, maintaining airflow and unit efficiency without requiring tools or disassembly.
• Flush rear-wall mounting allows installation in tight spaces, maximising usable kitchen floor area.
• HoshiGuard antimicrobial agent provides ongoing protection within the ice-making system, supporting hygiene between cleans.
• Standard single-phase 10A power connection and low electrical consumption of 4.2kWh per 24 hours keep running costs manageable in commercial environments.
