Hoshizaki C-80BAK undercounter air-cooled cubelet ice machine with built-in bin

Product Description

The Hoshizaki C-80BAK is a self-contained undercounter cubelet ice machine producing up to 92 pounds of ice per 24 hours with 27 pounds of built-in storage, in a cabinet under 15 inches wide and under 34 inches tall.

Cubelet Ice and Who Asks For It

Cubelet is compressed flake ice: soft, chewable, and it displaces liquid far better than a cube because the small irregular pieces pack around whatever they surround. Healthcare buys it because patients can chew it safely. Beverage operations buy it because it chills a drink almost instantly and gives fountain sodas the texture people specifically come back for. It is a completely different product from a cuber, and if cubelet is what your operation wants, a cube machine is not a substitute.

Efficiency and Water Use

This is an ENERGY STAR qualified machine running on R290, a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant with very low global warming potential. It uses 8.5 kWh per 100 pounds of ice at 90°F/70°F — half the consumption of the R-134a C-80BAJ it replaces — and only 12 gallons of potable water per 100 pounds, which is remarkably low; the flaker mechanism freezes nearly all the water it takes in rather than purging a portion like a cuber does. Current draw is 2.8 amps on a standard 115V outlet.

Built-In Installation

Air enters and exits at the front, so the machine can sit flush between cabinets with no side or rear ventilation clearance — the requirement for a genuine built-in. It ships with a 6-foot cord and NEMA 5-15 plug and is UL approved for outdoor use, which opens up patio bars and pool decks.
