Overview
The Hoshizaki KM-1601SWJ is a modular commercial ice machine head that produces up to 1660 pounds of crescent cube ice per day. As a head unit it stacks onto a matching Hoshizaki storage bin (sold separately), letting you size production and storage independently for your space and volume. Hoshizaki's signature crescent cube is dense and slow-melting with a high ice-to-water ratio, so it chills drinks fast, displaces more volume in the glass, and won't water down the pour.
Engineered for continuous duty, it is built around a corrosion-resistant stainless steel evaporator and a water-cooled refrigeration system running on R404A refrigerant. Hoshizaki's reputation for reliability and long service life makes it a specify-once head for operators who run ice around the clock.

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.
