Hoshizaki KM-1601SWJ3 48 inch water-cooled crescent cube ice machine head, stainless steel cabinet

Product Description

The Hoshizaki KM-1601SWJ3 is a water-cooled Crescent Cuber ice machine head that turns out roughly 1,671 pounds of ice per 24 hours from a single 48-inch cabinet. It ships as a head only, so you pair it with whichever storage bin suits your service pattern, and it stacks with a second head when one machine stops keeping up.

Why crescent cube ice

Crescent cubes are flat on one face and curved on the other. They settle into a glass without bridging, displace drink volume efficiently so a pour looks full, and melt slowly enough that a beverage holds its character to the last sip. Hoshizaki forms them on double-sided stainless steel KM Edge evaporators, which means both faces of each plate are producing through every freeze cycle rather than one.

Water-cooled condensing, three-phase power

A water-cooled condenser rejects heat into the building water loop instead of the room, so the machine can live in a tight equipment alcove without turning it into an oven, and daily output holds steady when ambient temperatures climb. The trade-off is consumption: Hoshizaki rates this unit at 18.5 gallons of potable water per 100 pounds of ice at 90/70 conditions. Electrically it is a 208-230V three-phase machine pulling 8.8 amps on a 20 amp maximum fuse, wired with four conductors including ground and hardwired on site.

Bin pairing and stacking

Hoshizaki lists the B-800, B-900, B-1150, B-1300, B-1500 and B-1650 bins as compatible. Two KM-1601SWJ3 heads can be stacked on a single large bin to roughly double capacity in the same 48-inch footprint, which is usually cheaper in floor space than adding a second machine line.
