Product Description

The Hoshizaki KM-231BAJ combines a crescent cube ice maker and an 80 pound storage bin in one 24-inch cabinet. It produces 213 pounds of ice in 24 hours, which covers a bar, a break room, a small dining room or a nursing station without the space and specification work of a separate head and bin.

Self-contained and ADA compliant

At 24 inches wide and 39 inches tall, the machine drops into a standard equipment line-up and connects with a single water line, a drain and a NEMA 5-15 receptacle — no hardwiring, no bin adapter, no separate legs kit. It is ADA compliant, which is what makes it specifiable in schools, clinics, government buildings and any public-facing service area with accessible reach requirements.

Air-cooled, plug-in, 115V

Air cooling means no condenser water line and no water bill beyond what goes into the ice. The unit draws 6.5 amps on a 115V circuit with a 15 amp maximum fuse and ships with a 6.5 foot cord, so it can be installed without an electrician. Leave the clearance Hoshizaki specifies around the condenser — an air-cooled machine wedged into a tight alcove will lose production. Energy use is rated at 8.4 kWh per 100 pounds of ice at 90/70 conditions, with 23.5 gallons of potable water per 100 pounds.

Crescent cube ice

Crescent cubes are flat on one face and curved on the other. They fill a glass evenly without bridging, hold a drink cold without watering it down quickly, and shed cleanly from the evaporator. The 2.7 cubic foot bin holds 80 pounds, enough that a lunch rush does not outrun the machine.
