Hoshizaki FM-150KE-N Nugget Machine

Hoshizaki FM-150KE-N Self-Contained Nugget Ice Machine

The Hoshizaki FM-150KE-N is a self-contained commercial nugget ice machine producing approximately 120 kg of soft, chewable nugget ice per 24 hours under standard conditions, with a 32 kg integrated storage bin. Nugget ice is prized across hospitality, healthcare, and food retail applications for its gentle texture, flavour-absorbing qualities, and suitability for produce display, fresh fish presentation, bottled beverage chilling, and medical use where freeze burn is a genuine concern.

Engineered around Hoshizaki's proven auger system, the FM-150KE-N achieves highly efficient ice production by matching water consumption precisely to ice output, minimising waste without sacrificing consistency. Carbon auger bearings extend service life beyond conventional roller bearing designs, while a one-piece bin moulding with rounded corners, an automatic flush function, and an integrated door handle make daily hygiene and cleaning straightforward in demanding commercial environments.
