Its patented CycleSaver® design, combined with a double-sided stainless steel evaporator, means the unit completes roughly half as many harvest cycles as comparable machines while delivering the same or greater output, directly reducing energy consumption and wear on components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied as a modular head only, the KMD-270AB is compatible with a range of Hoshizaki ice bins and requires an appropriate top kit depending on the bin selected. Hoshizaki's signature crescent ice is crystal clear, exceptionally hard, and slow melting, enhancing drink presentation while minimising dilution during service. The unit is built for straightforward daily maintenance, with a slide-in front air filter and a snap-in water tank that can be removed quickly for sanitisation, and it is protected by HoshiGuard antimicrobial agent throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduces up to 275 kg of ice per day under ideal conditions, ensuring sufficient supply even during peak service periods without running short.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCycleSaver® technology cycles approximately half as often as competing machines, reducing mechanical wear and lowering long-term running costs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrystal-clear, hard crescent cubes melt slowly, preserving drink quality and reducing how frequently glasses need topping up during service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-sided stainless steel evaporator performs reliably across all water conditions, including hard water areas, maintaining consistent output without premature scaling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlide-in front air filter and snap-in water tank allow fast, tool-free cleaning and sanitisation, keeping the unit compliant with hygiene standards with minimal downtime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModular head-only format provides flexibility to pair with the appropriate Hoshizaki bin and top kit to suit available floor space and storage requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-phase 10 A power supply keeps installation simple and eliminates the need for specialised electrical infrastructure in most commercial kitchens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHoshiGuard antimicrobial protection on internal surfaces helps maintain hygiene standards between scheduled cleans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked by a comprehensive warranty covering three years parts and labour on the entire unit, five years parts and labour on the evaporator, and five years parts on the compressor and air-cooled condenser coil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModular ice machine head only — compatible ice storage bin and top kit sold separately (B-301SA bin requires no top kit;
