Hoshizaki Nugget Ice Maker FM-80KE-HCN – Self-Contained, Air-cooled, 75 kg/24h

The Hoshizaki FM-80KE-HCN is a self-contained air-cooled nugget ice maker producing up to 75 kg of nugget ice in 24 hours, with a 32 kg built-in storage bin.

Performance and connections

The FM-80KE-HCN measures 640 × 600 × 711 mm (W × D × H) without legs (legs add 87-122mm) and weighs 65 kg net. Electrical consumption is 0.27 kW and heat rejection 0.45 kW at 32 °C ambient and 21 °C water, with 0.075 m³ of water used per 24 hours. The FM-80KE-HCN runs on 63 g of R290, GWP 3. R290 is a natural refrigerant classified A3, higher flammability, so the charge belongs in the installation specification. Hoshizaki lists the FM-80KE-HCN for single phase 220-240 V 50 Hz, with a voltage tolerance of ±6% and a 6 A circuit breaker.

Installing it on a vessel

Hoshizaki gives operating limits of ambient temperatures from 5 to 40 °C, water supply temperatures from 5 to 35 °C and water pressure from 0.5 to 8 bar, which is what the space and the vessel's fresh water system have to meet for the FM-80KE-HCN. Being air-cooled, it rejects its heat into the space, so the ventilation of the galley or bar has to take it. For water treatment Hoshizaki pairs it with the 4HC-H single water filter system and its 4HC replacement cartridges. On a vessel the FM-80KE-HCN is specified like any galley appliance: supply voltage and frequency, water inlet and drain, ventilation and fixing. This page carries Hoshizaki's published data for the standard model, and we confirm the marine installation details with the quotation.
