Product Description

The Hoshizaki DCM-271BAK-OS is the Opti-Serve version of Hoshizaki's 16-5/8 inch countertop cubelet machine: the same 286 lb of daily ice and the same 10 lb bin, but dispensing hands-free on a sensor rather than a push button.

Why hands-free matters

A push-button dispenser has one surface every user touches with the hand that is about to hold their drink. Sensor dispensing removes that surface entirely. In healthcare, in schools, and in any self-serve area that gets audited on infection control, that is the reason this model exists rather than the cheaper button version. It also helps when users are carrying a tray and have no free hand to press with.

Cubelet ice

Cubelet is Hoshizaki's mini nugget: soft compressed flake ice rather than a hard cube. It chews easily, packs into a cup without air gaps, and takes on the flavour of the drink around it. Healthcare operators specify it because patients will actually eat it, and quick-service operators specify it because customers ask for it.

R290 and self-cleaning

The BAK generation uses R290, a hydrocarbon refrigerant with very low global warming potential, on a 5.3 oz charge, drawing 6.4 amps and 5.3 kWh per 100 lb at 90/70. A self-cleaning cycle maintains the ice path between full services. The unit is air-cooled, cord-connected on a NEMA 5-15 plug, and the dispensing area is ADA compliant.
