Overview
The Hoshizaki DCM-300BAK is an air-cooled cubelet ice machine and water dispenser that produces up to 343 lbs of nugget-style ice per day, with a built-in bin holding up to 40 lbs at a time.
This is a commercial-grade unit rather than a household countertop maker, sized at 26 by 22.5 by 40 inches and meant to sit on a counter or Hoshizaki's optional SD-500 stand. Push button controls dispense either ice or water, and a stainless steel auger with a greaseless bearing handles the ice-making mechanism. Hoshizaki's CleanCycle24 design runs a two-second purge every hour to keep the system sanitary between full cleanings.
- Up to 343 lbs of cubelet ice per 24 hours
- 40 lb built-in storage bin
- Push button ice or water dispensing
- Hourly CleanCycle24 self-purge
Who it's for
Suited to break rooms, small food service counters, or offices needing steady dispensed ice and water well beyond home ice maker output. Not a fit for a home kitchen counter given its size and 40 lb storage bin.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Up to 343 lbs of ice production daily
- Dispenses ice or water at a push button
- Hourly automated CleanCycle24 purge
- Stainless steel construction throughout
- Sized for commercial, not home, counters
- 40 lb bin may need the optional stand for some layouts
Performance notes
Output tops out at 343 lbs of cubelet ice per 24 hours, well above household ice makers, with a 40 lb storage bin holding a working supply for dispensing. The stainless steel auger and greaseless bearing are built for continuous duty, and the hourly CleanCycle24 purge is meant to limit buildup between full cleaning cycles. It uses R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant.
