Premium Hoshizaki Flake Ice
The FM-480AKE-HC-SB produces high-quality flake ice with a light, soft texture designed to cool products quickly and evenly. Unlike hard cube ice, flake ice can be easily shaped and layered around food, providing greater contact with the product being chilled.
This makes it particularly suitable for seafood displays, fish markets, supermarkets, delicatessens and fresh food counters, where both temperature control and presentation are important.
Ideal for Seafood & Fresh Food Displays
Flake ice can be spread, shaped and layered to create attractive refrigerated food displays while providing effective cooling across the product surface. It is particularly well suited to displaying fresh fish, seafood and other temperature-sensitive foods.
The soft texture also makes it easy to prepare and reshape displays throughout the day, helping commercial operators maintain an attractive presentation during service.
High-Volume Ice Production
Production varies according to ambient air and incoming water temperatures:
| 10°C Air / 10°C Water | Approx. 450kg / 24 Hours |
| 21°C Air / 15°C Water | Approx. 400kg / 24 Hours |
| 32°C Air / 21°C Water | Approx. 340kg / 24 Hours |
Modular Design
The Hoshizaki FM-480AKE-HC-SB is a modular ice maker, allowing the ice-making head to be paired with a suitable storage bin according to the required ice storage capacity and installation.
Compatible Hoshizaki storage bin configurations include:
- B-301SA – No top kit required
- B-501SA – 8D top kit
- B-801SA – 8D + 18D top kits
- Double Stack B-801SA – 4DM
Please note: Ice storage bin and applicable top kits are sold separately unless otherwise specified.
Compact High-Output Design
Despite its substantial commercial ice production capacity, the FM-480AKE-HC-SB measures only 560mm wide. Its modular configuration allows businesses to select a compatible storage solution while keeping the ice-making head relatively compact.
R290 Natural Refrigerant
The FM-480AKE-HC-SB uses R290 natural refrigerant. The air-cooled system is designed to operate in ambient temperatures ranging from 5°C to 40°C, making it suitable for demanding commercial applications when installed within the specified operating conditions.
