Overview
The Hoshizaki DCM-271BAK is a commercial ice dispenser that produces up to 286 pounds of nugget ice per day and dispenses it hygienically on demand. Touchless, push-to-fill dispensing keeps hands and scoops out of the ice, protecting food safety in self-serve and high-traffic settings. Its soft, chewable nugget ice is easy on teeth, absorbs flavor, and displaces well, making it a favorite for soft drinks, healthcare, and self-serve.
A stainless auger and agitator resist corrosion, insulated storage keeps ice from melting between pours, and the sanitary dispense path is built to meet health-code expectations. It is a clean, low-maintenance way to put ice within easy reach of staff or guests.

About Hoshizaki
Founded in Japan in 1947, Hoshizaki engineered the country’s first fully automatic ice machine in 1965 and has spent the decades since becoming one of the most trusted names in commercial ice and refrigeration. In the U.S., Hoshizaki has designed and built equipment since 1981 — today across two Georgia manufacturing plants, 1,000+ employees, and 18 North American distribution centers standing behind every unit.
The reputation is built on engineering, not marketing: corrosion-resistant stainless steel evaporators, EverCheck™ onboard diagnostics, and H-Guard Plus antimicrobial protection — backed by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification, repeated ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year recognition, and some of the strongest warranties in the category. It’s why operators who run ice around the clock keep specifying Hoshizaki.
