Overview

Hoshizaki IM-65NE-Q Self-Contained Ball Ice Machine 24kg/Day

The Hoshizaki IM-65NE-Q is a self-contained under-counter ball ice machine designed for bars, restaurants and premium beverage service. It produces up to 24kg of perfectly spherical 45mm ball ice per day under standard conditions, with a 17kg integrated storage bin, making it an ideal fit for venues where presentation and drink quality are paramount. Its compact footprint and front-breathing airflow allow built-in installation beneath a counter without requiring additional clearance.

Hoshizaki's closed-cell water circuit and automatic rinse-and-flush cycle after every batch ensure each ice ball is made from fresh, uncontaminated water, resulting in exceptionally hard, crystal-clear spheres that melt slowly and preserve the flavour integrity of premium cocktails and spirits. A microcomputer controller continuously optimises the ice-making process to maintain consistent output across varying ambient conditions, while foam-injected CFC-free polyurethane insulation reduces unnecessary production cycles and energy use.

Key Benefits

• Produces slow-melting, crystal-clear 45mm ball ice that protects the flavour and quality of premium cocktails and beverages
• Automatic drain and refill after every batch keeps ice hygienically fresh without manual intervention
• Front panel air intake and exhaust enables flush built-in under-counter installation in bar fitouts
• Microcomputer control adapts the ice-making cycle to changing ambient temperatures, maintaining reliable output without manual adjustments
• Closed water circuit eliminates contamination risk, supporting strict food-safety and hygiene standards
• Easily dismantled components and an accessible front condenser air filter simplify routine cleaning and reduce the frequency and cost of service call-outs
• CFC-free foam-injected polyurethane insulation preserves stored ice quality and reduces the number of production cycles needed
• Built-in safety protections including a freeze-cycle backup timer, defrost backup, low-voltage and high-amp protector reduce the risk of unplanned downtime
• Three-year parts and labour warranty on the entire unit plus five-year parts-only cover on the compressor and air-cooled condenser coil provides long-term ownership confidence
