The Hoshizaki FM-480AKE is a modular flake ice maker producing approximately 425 kg/day under rated conditions for use with a compatible storage bin. External dimensions are 560 W × 700 D × 780 H mm. The machine has separate output ratings for warmer air and water conditions, so daily output varies with installation conditions.

The unit uses an air-cooled refrigeration system and requires a suitable electrical connection. “Freeze Burn” is no longer an issue when displaying fresh fish or produce. Carbon auger bearings have a longer life expectancy than roller bearing, reducing maintenance costs.

Automatic flush function, helps keep the ice making system clean. Controller board with Operational Status display assists in troubleshooting. Due to the auger system, water consumption is equal to ice production. Can be converted to nugget ice by changing the extruding head and cutter (parts at an additional cost). The power requirement is AC Supply Voltage 1 phase 230V 50Hz/ 10 A plug. Its modular format separates ice production from storage so the bin can be selected for the installation.
