The Hoshizaki FM-150AKE-HCN-SB is a modular nugget ice machine capable of producing up to 140kg of nugget ice per 24 hours. As a modular unit, it is designed to sit on top of a separate storage bin rather than including integrated storage — this gives operators the flexibility to match ice production to the storage capacity their operation actually requires.

Nugget ice, sometimes referred to as granular or chewable ice, has a softer, compressible texture that makes it particularly well regarded in cocktail bars and beverage-led venues. It chills drinks quickly and delivers a controlled level of dilution — qualities that matter when serving high volumes of cocktails or blended drinks during busy service periods. Its texture also makes it practical for healthcare and care home environments, though the primary market for a machine of this output is hospitality.

Running at this production capacity means the FM-150AKE-HCN-SB is genuinely suited to continuous, high-demand service. A few practical operational advantages worth noting:

  • Nugget ice is easier to dispense and handle than cube ice, reducing spillage and improving speed of service
  • Hoshizaki's stainless steel evaporator construction is a known factor in long-term durability under daily commercial use
  • The modular format allows the storage bin to be sized separately, avoiding over- or under-provisioning of storage capacity
  • Nugget ice is produced at lower energy intensity per kilogram compared to harder ice forms in many configurations

As a modular machine, this unit requires a compatible ice storage bin, which is purchased separately. Installation will require a mains water connection, a suitable drain, and adequate electrical supply — the exact requirements should be confirmed against the installation documentation before ordering. Clearance for air circulation is also important, as with all refrigeration-based equipment; placement in an enclosed space or against restricted airflow will affect output and longevity. Consider ambient temperature in the installation location, as this affects ice production rates in practice.

This machine is well suited to cocktail bars, hotel bars, large restaurants, and catering operations with a consistent daily demand for nugget ice. For smaller venues with lower daily requirements, a lower-output machine may be more appropriate and more economical to run. Equally, very high-volume sites — large stadia, busy hotel operations — may benefit from considering a higher-capacity model.

If you're unsure whether this output level is the right match for your service, or if you have questions about bin compatibility and installation requirements, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Does this ice machine include a storage bin, or is that purchased separately?

The FM-150AKE-HCN-SB is a modular ice maker only — the storage bin is sold separately. This is standard for modular machines and allows you to select a bin with the storage capacity that suits your operation. We can advise on compatible bin options based on your expected daily usage pattern.

What installation requirements should I be aware of before ordering?

The machine requires a mains cold water feed, a gravity or pumped drain, and an appropriate electrical supply. Adequate clearance around the unit for air circulation is essential — restricted airflow will reduce ice output and can shorten component life. Ambient kitchen temperature also affects production rates, so it's worth discussing your installation environment with us before purchase.

Is 140kg per day enough for a busy cocktail bar or hotel operation?

For many cocktail bars and mid-sized hotel bars, 140kg daily production is a solid working capacity, particularly when paired with an appropriately sized storage bin to buffer demand during peak service. However, for very high-volume sites — large hotel operations, stadia, or event catering — a higher-output machine may be more suitable. If you're unsure, it's worth mapping out your estimated hourly and daily demand before specifying.
