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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowered 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlake ice eliminates freeze burn concerns when displaying fresh fish, seafood, produce and bottled beverages, preserving product quality and presentation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe auger system matches water consumption directly to ice production, reducing water waste and lowering operating costs compared with conventional ice-making methods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbon auger bearings offer a longer service life than roller bearings, reducing the frequency and cost of maintenance interventions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe automatic flush function actively cleans the ice-making system, supporting food safety and hygiene with minimal manual effort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAn operational status display on the controller board simplifies troubleshooting, helping technicians diagnose issues quickly and minimise downtime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRuns 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe 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).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlake ice output: approximately 425 kg per day at 21°C air temperature and 15°C water temperature;
