The Hoshizaki KM-231BAK is a self-contained crescent-cube ice machine that produces up to 213 pounds of ice per day (147 lb AHRI-certified) and stores 80 pounds in its built-in bin, enough to carry a busy bar, restaurant, cafe, or breakroom through peak service without a separate storage bin or remote condenser. Hoshizaki's signature crescent cube has a high ice-to-water ratio and a hard, slow-melting body, so it chills soft drinks and mixed beverages fast, displaces more volume in the glass, and won't water down the pour.

Built for years of continuous commercial duty, the KM-231BAK pairs a durable stainless steel exterior with a self-contained, air-cooled R404A refrigeration system and 6-inch adjustable painted legs. Front-in, front-out airflow lets it sit flush against side walls, and the removable air filter plus wipe-clean exterior keep routine maintenance to minutes. Hoshizaki's EverCheck™ alert system continuously monitors operation and flags service needs before they turn into downtime, while the ADA-compliant bin opening and included H-Guard Plus antimicrobial scoop keep ice service sanitary and within easy reach.
