Premium Hoshizaki Nugget Ice
The FM-120KE-HCN produces premium commercial nugget ice with a dry, hard texture designed to provide efficient cooling while maintaining an appropriate level of dilution.
This makes it an excellent choice for cocktail bars, restaurants, pubs, hotels and hospitality venues. Nugget ice is especially well suited to Mojitos, Tiki-style cocktails and other spirit-forward drinks where consistent cooling and presentation are important.
High-Volume Ice Production
Ice production varies according to ambient air and incoming water temperatures:
| 10°C Air / 10°C Water | Approx. 110kg / 24 Hours |
| 21°C Air / 15°C Water | Approx. 96kg / 24 Hours |
| 32°C Air / 21°C Water | Approx. 75kg / 24 Hours |
Integrated 32kg Ice Storage
As a self-contained nugget ice machine, the FM-120KE-HCN incorporates its own storage bin and does not require a separate external ice storage bin.
The integrated bin provides approximately 32kg maximum levelled storage capacity, with a bin control setting of approximately 27kg, creating a convenient all-in-one solution for commercial hospitality applications.
Hygienic Closed Water Circuit
The closed water circuit helps protect the ice-making process against contamination. Hoshizaki's automated water circuit rinse cycle also helps prevent mineral build-up within the hydraulic system while supporting consistent hygiene and easier ongoing maintenance.
Designed for Long-Term Commercial Operation
The FM-120KE-HCN uses carbon graphite bushings instead of traditional ball bearings, enabling grease-free operation. A reduced number of moving parts helps minimise wear and tear, while water-lubricated bearings assist in preventing calcification and bacterial contamination.
A worktime-based component replacement system can be monitored through the machine's control display, helping operators manage preventative maintenance and support dependable long-term operation.
R290 Natural Refrigerant
The FM-120KE-HCN uses environmentally friendly R290 natural refrigerant, supporting efficient commercial operation while optimising ice production performance.
Compact Self-Contained Design
At only 640mm wide, the FM-120KE-HCN delivers substantial nugget ice production and integrated storage within a relatively compact footprint. Its plug-and-play design also helps simplify installation and commissioning.
