The Hoshizaki KM-161BAJ is a self-contained commercial ice machine that produces up to 163 pounds of crescent cube ice per day and stores it in an integrated 78 lb bin, so a busy bar, restaurant, cafe, or healthcare kitchen stays stocked through peak service without a separate storage bin or remote condenser. 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 years of continuous foodservice duty, it is built around a corrosion-resistant stainless steel evaporator and an air-cooled refrigeration system running on R134a refrigerant, with a stainless exterior that wipes clean between cleanings. Hoshizaki's reputation for reliability and long service life makes it a specify-once machine for operators who can't afford ice downtime.
