Product Description

The Hoshizaki KM-301BAK is the R290 generation of Hoshizaki's largest self-contained crescent cuber: 285 lb of ice per 24 hours into a 100 lb built-in bin, in a 30 inch cabinet. It replaces a two-piece head-and-bin installation with a single unit and a single set of connections.

What R290 changes here

At this size the refrigerant switch shows up plainly on the meter. The KM-301BAK draws 5.7 amps and 6.0 kWh per 100 lb at 90/70, where the R-404A KM-301BAJ it succeeds draws 8.4 amps and 7.1 kWh. R290 is a hydrocarbon refrigerant with very low global warming potential, and the charge here is only 4.8 oz.

Crescent cube and bin behaviour

Crescent cubes are half-moons with a flat face. Because they do not freeze together into a block, a 100 lb bin gives up close to its full rating rather than needing to be broken apart mid-service. In the glass the solid form melts slowly, which is the difference between a drink holding up and going watery. The bin opening is ADA compliant.

CycleSaver and EverCheck

Hoshizaki's CycleSaver design extends the productive part of each freeze cycle, and the EverCheck alert system flags service conditions on the front panel rather than leaving them to be discovered when the bin runs empty. The unit is air-cooled and cord-connected on a NEMA 5-15 plug with a 6.5 ft cord, needing a 115V 15A circuit, potable water and a gravity drain.
