Hoshizaki Crescent Ice Maker KM-40C-HC Overview

Hoshizaki rates the KM-40C-HC at 43 kg of crescent ice per day. The ice drops into a 16 kg bin inside the same air-cooled cabinet. Spread over a day, it is about 1.8 kg per hour. An empty 16 kg bin fills in roughly 8.9 hours at that rate.

Specs worth checking

It measures 452 x 610 x 838 mm (W x D x H) before legs (add 144-167mm) and weighs 39 kg empty. Electrically it needs single-phase 220-240 V 50 Hz, drawing 0.22 kW, within ±6%, on a 5 A breaker. At 32 °C room temperature it releases 0.58 kW of heat. It uses about 250 liters of water a day, or roughly 5.8 liters for every kilo of ice. The KM-40C-HC runs on 68 g of R290, which is propane (safety class A3), so the charge belongs on the installation paperwork. Hoshizaki lists automated cleaning for the KM-40C-HC.

On board

Operating limits for the KM-40C-HC are 7 to 38 °C ambient, 7 to 32 °C water and 0.7 to 8 bar, so check the space and the fresh water line against those. Air-cooled, it puts its 0.58 kW of heat straight into the room, so a closed pantry needs some ventilation. Pair it with a 4HC-H single filter; at 43 kg a day that is the size Hoshizaki specifies. We quote the KM-40C-HC against your vessel (supply voltage and frequency, water line, fixing), working from Hoshizaki's data for the standard model.
