Hoshizaki FM-150KE Flaker

Hoshizaki FM-150KE Flake Ice Machine 130kg

The Hoshizaki FM-150KE is a modular flake ice machine producing approximately 130kg of ice per day, making it a dependable workhorse for commercial kitchens, food retail displays, and hospitality venues. Flake ice is ideal for showcasing fish, fresh produce, and bottled beverages, as its soft, pliable form eliminates freeze burn and moulds around product to maintain optimal presentation and temperature. Flake ice also plays a critical role in medical applications such as organ transportation.

At the heart of the FM-150KE is Hoshizaki's innovative auger system, which maximises ice production efficiency by matching water consumption directly to ice output, minimising waste. The unit includes a 26kg integrated storage bin with a one-piece moulded interior for straightforward sanitation, and can be converted to nugget ice production by swapping the extruding head and cutter, offering operational flexibility as your business needs evolve.

Key Benefits
