Hoshizaki FM-1000KE-N Nugget Machine

Hoshizaki FM-1000KE-N Nugget Ice Machine

The Hoshizaki FM-1000KE-N is a modular, ultra-high-capacity nugget ice machine engineered for demanding commercial operations including major hospitality venues, stadiums, healthcare facilities, and large-scale foodservice environments. It produces approximately 730kg of nugget ice per 24 hours at 32°C air temperature and 21°C water temperature, with output reaching up to approximately 860kg under optimal conditions, delivering a continuous and reliable supply for high-volume use.

Nugget ice, also known as pellet ice, is soft, chewable, and slow-melting, making it ideal for cooling beverages, displaying fresh fish and produce, and healthcare applications where freeze burn is a concern. As a modular head unit, the FM-1000KE-N pairs with a compatible ice storage bin, giving operators the flexibility to scale storage capacity to suit their specific requirements.

Key Benefits

• Produces up to approximately 730–860kg of nugget ice per 24 hours, supporting continuous supply for high-volume commercial operations
• Nugget ice is soft, chewable, and slow-melting, making it well suited for cocktails, soft drinks, fresh food display, and healthcare applications
• Auger-based ice making process ensures water consumption equals ice production, minimising waste and reducing operating costs
• Modular design allows pairing with multiple compatible storage bin options, enabling businesses to scale storage capacity as demand grows
• Carbon auger bearings offer a longer service life than roller bearings, reducing maintenance frequency and associated costs
• Automatic flush function helps keep the internal ice making system clean, supporting food safety and hygiene standards
• Micro-computer controller with operational status display simplifies monitoring and assists with troubleshooting
• Stainless steel construction provides durability and hygienic surfaces suited to demanding commercial kitchen environments
• Eliminates freeze burn concerns when used for fresh fish or produce display, protecting product quality and presentation
