Overview
A 30 inch modular crescent cube ice machine built for restaurant, pub, cafeteria, and bar use, rated to produce up to 440 lbs of ice in 24 hours under standard conditions. It is self-contained and air-cooled, so it does not require a separate remote condenser unit.
Crescent cube is Hoshizaki's classic ice shape, slower to melt and commonly used in full-service bars and restaurants rather than home units. The 440 lb figure is measured at 70/50F conditions, while the AHRI-certified figure of 400 lb at 90/70F reflects hotter ambient conditions, which is the number to plan around for a warm back-of-house location. It runs on standard 115-120v power and R-404A refrigerant, and carries NSF and UL certification for commercial kitchens.
- Up to 440 lbs of crescent cube ice per 24 hours
- 30" W stainless steel, self-contained air-cooled unit
- R-404A refrigerant, 115-120v single-phase power
- NSF and UL certified for commercial use
Who it's for
Suits restaurants, pubs, cafeterias, and bars that need high-volume crescent cube ice on a standard household-style power circuit. Not sized for home kitchens or light-use settings.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- High rated output up to 440 lbs per 24 hours
- Self-contained air-cooled design, no remote condenser needed
- NSF and UL certified for commercial kitchens
- Runs on standard 115-120v single-phase power
- Output drops to an AHRI-certified 400 lbs in hotter 90/70F conditions
- 30 inch width and commercial scale rule out small kitchens
Performance notes
The machine is self-contained with its own air-cooled condenser, so it vents its own heat rather than relying on a remote system. Its 440 lb figure is rated at 70/50F ambient and water temperature, while the AHRI-certified 400 lb figure at 90/70F is the more realistic number for a hot kitchen or back-of-house space. It runs on a standard 115-120v, 60Hz, single-phase circuit at 10.0 amps.
