Overview

Hoshizaki KM-470AJ-S Modular Crescent Ice Maker Head 480kg/day

The Hoshizaki KM-470AJ-S is a high-capacity modular crescent ice maker head designed for demanding commercial operations such as nightclubs, stadiums, large bars, and entertainment venues. Producing approximately 480kg of ice per 24 hours under standard conditions, it utilises Hoshizaki's CycleSaver® technology with a double-sided stainless steel evaporator that forms ice on both sides simultaneously, delivering greater output in shorter cycle times while keeping energy consumption in check.

Hoshizaki's signature crescent ice is crystal clear, hard, and slow melting, which maintains beverage presentation and minimises dilution. The unit is a modular head only, meaning it pairs with a separately purchased ice storage bin, top kit, and water filter, giving operators the flexibility to configure the system to their exact storage requirements. The stainless steel exterior, front-accessible removable air filters, and the EverCheck™ diagnostic control board all contribute to straightforward daily operation and servicing.

Key Benefits

• High daily output of approximately 480kg keeps pace with fast-selling venues and large-scale events without interruption.
• CycleSaver® double-sided evaporator technology shortens freeze cycles to around 24 minutes, maximising ice availability during peak trading periods.
• Clear, hard crescent ice melts slowly, preserving drink quality and reducing the frequency of top-ups for a better customer experience.
• HoshiGuard Antimicrobial Agent protection throughout ice-contact surfaces supports food safety and hygiene compliance.
• EverCheck™ Control Board with audible alarm and built-in diagnostic capability helps service technicians identify and resolve faults quickly, minimising downtime.
• Easily removable and cleanable air filters on the front panel simplify routine maintenance without requiring tools or specialist knowledge.
• Modular head design is compatible with a range of Hoshizaki ice bins and dispensers, allowing flexible configuration to suit available floor space and storage needs.
• Single-phase 220-240V 50Hz power supply with a standard 15A plug means straightforward electrical installation in most commercial premises.
• Durable stainless steel exterior withstands the rigours of a busy kitchen or bar environment and is easy to wipe down.
