Hoshizaki KMD-860MWJ water-cooled crescent cube ice machine head

Product Description

The Hoshizaki KMD-860MWJ is a 30-inch water-cooled modular crescent cuber rated at up to 940 pounds of ice per 24 hours. It is a head unit designed to sit on a separately purchased storage bin or dispenser.

The Efficiency Case

At 3.9 kWh per 100 pounds of ice at 90°F/70°F, this is the lowest-energy head in the KMD-860 family — roughly a quarter less electricity per pound than the air-cooled and remote-cooled versions of the same cabinet. It also draws only 8.5 amps on a 208-230V single-phase circuit, the lightest electrical load in the group, which can matter when you are adding a machine to a panel that is already close to full.

Water-Cooled Trade-Offs

Rejecting heat through a condenser water loop keeps the machine's output stable in hot rooms and keeps that heat out of the kitchen entirely, with no condenser fan noise. In return you need a condenser water supply and a dedicated condenser drain, and total building water use rises. In many jurisdictions single-pass condenser water is restricted, so confirm local code — or plan for a cooling tower or closed loop — before specifying this model.

Crescent Ice and Bin Selection

Hoshizaki's crescent cube is dense and slow-melting, packs well in a glass, and does not bridge in storage. Since no bin ships with this head, you can pair it with a large-capacity bin for banquet or catering peaks or a smaller one where deliveries are continuous. Potable water consumption is 20.5 gallons per 100 pounds at 90/70.
