Hoshizaki AM-50BAK undercounter air-cooled top hat cube ice machine with built-in bin

Product Description

The Hoshizaki AM-50BAK is a self-contained undercounter ice machine that makes up to 54 pounds of top hat cubes per 24 hours and stores 27 pounds in its own bin. At just under 15 inches wide and under 34 inches tall, it slides into a standard undercounter opening in a bar, office pantry, breakroom or guest suite.

R290 Refrigerant and a 2-Amp Draw

This generation moved to R290, a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant with very low global warming potential, and the efficiency gain is dramatic: 9 kWh per 100 pounds of ice at 90°F/70°F against roughly 17 kWh for the R-134a machine it replaces. Current draw is only 2.0 amps on a standard 115V outlet, so it plugs into a normal 15-amp circuit with a 6-foot cord and NEMA 5-15 plug — no hardwiring, no dedicated service.

Front Airflow and Outdoor Rating

Air enters and exits through the front, which is what makes true built-in installation possible: the machine can sit flush between cabinets with no side or rear clearance for ventilation. It is also UL approved for outdoor use, so it works on a patio bar or pool service station where most undercounter icemakers are not rated to go.

Top Hat Cube

The top hat is a small, clear, hard cube — a different animal from Hoshizaki's crescent. It reads as premium in a rocks glass, melts slowly, and is the shape most often specified for cocktail programs and executive suites rather than for bulk beverage service. The 27-pound bin is a step up from the 22 pounds the previous AM-50BAJ held in the same footprint.
