Hoshizaki

Hoshizaki is the specialist commercial ice machine brand used in bars, hotels, hospitals, butcheries and high-volume foodservice — cube ice makers in counter-fit and stand-alone sizes from 18 to 255 kg/day, crescent ice makers in 41 to 270 kg/day capacities, flake and ball ice variants for specific service applications, ice storage bins up to 144 kg, and matched commercial upright fridges and split-door freezers. The brand also supplies undercounter and undercounter glass-door storage cabinets for hospitality fit-outs — available now through Commercial Kitchen Company.

Hoshizaki is the go-to brand when ice quality, machine longevity and parts support matter more than upfront price. The catalogue covers cube ice makers from the workhorse Hoshizaki IM-30CNE-25 Counter Fit-In Cuber (18 kg/day) — the brand's best-selling unit in Australia — through to the IM-65NE-25 (44 kg/day), IM-240ANE-28 (205 kg/day) and stackable IM-240XNE for high-volume operations. The crescent line runs across KM-40C HC (41 kg/day), KMD-201AB and KMD-270AB stainless models at 175 and 255 kg/day respectively. Flake ice for fishmongers, butcheries and seafood display sits in the FM series from FM-150KE through to the FM-1000AKE 890 kg/day powerhouse, with matched B-series ice storage bins up to 144 kg capacity, and the line is rounded out by 2-door upright HF-128MA-A freezers and matched fridges for hospitality builds.

Construction is built around continuous-duty reliability. Cabinets are stainless steel with rounded internal corners for fast wipe-downs, evaporators are sealed to limit scale build-up that shortens machine life in hard-water areas, and condensers are sized to perform reliably in Australian high-ambient back-of-house conditions where lesser machines slow down or fail. Service-friendly design — front-accessible water filters, removable evaporator panels and clearly labelled control boards — means scheduled maintenance can be done in-place rather than requiring uninstall, an important consideration when an ice machine is the lifeblood of a bar or hotel.

Hoshizaki ice quality is the brand's signature. Cube and crescent ice machines produce clear, slow-melting ice rather than the cloudy, fast-melting product cheaper machines deliver — which means drinks stay diluted less and seafood and salad displays hold longer at temperature without re-icing. Flake ice from the FM series is dry, pliable and ideal for moulding around delicate produce. The brand's machines also tend to outlive cheaper alternatives by years, making the lifetime cost compete favourably with budget options even at higher upfront price.

Commercial Kitchen Company stocks the full Hoshizaki range with nationwide delivery and ready access to genuine spare parts — water filters, evaporator components, condensers, control boards and ice bin lids — backed by Australian after-sales support. Whether you need a single under-counter ice maker for a coffee bar, a stand-alone cuber for a restaurant pass, or a high-volume flake machine for a butchery or seafood operation, our team can specify the right Hoshizaki model and matching ice storage capacity for your throughput — available now through Commercial Kitchen Company.
