Product Description

The Hoshizaki DCM-500BWK-OS combines water cooling with Opti-Serve hands-free dispensing: 610 lb of cubelet ice a day, a 40 lb built-in bin, and a sensor in place of a push button.

Two constraints solved at once

This model exists for the room that has both problems. Enclosed beverage alcoves and interior serveries have nowhere to reject condenser heat, which is what water cooling fixes. Those same locations are usually the ones under infection-control scrutiny, which is what hands-free dispensing fixes. Specifying them together avoids a compromise on either.

Water cooling and efficiency

Sending condenser heat to the drain rather than the room keeps the machine at its rating in a confined space and keeps its waste heat off the building's air conditioning. It is also the most efficient configuration in this family: 3.85 kWh per 100 lb of ice at 90/70. Potable water for ice production is 12 gallons per 100 lb; condenser water is a separate load to size with your mechanical engineer.

Cubelet ice and self-cleaning

Cubelet is compressed flake ice in a soft mini nugget: chewable, packing into a cup without voids, and taking on the flavour of the drink. The machine runs R290, a low-GWP hydrocarbon refrigerant, on a 4.6 oz charge, with a self-cleaning cycle for the ice path between full services.
