Hoshizaki Wessamat C-105 Countertop Ice Crusher 5kg

The Hoshizaki Wessamat C-105 is a countertop ice crusher designed to process whole ice cubes into crushed ice at a single service point. It is not an ice maker — it sits alongside an existing ice machine and converts that supply into the format needed for cocktails, long drinks, chilled food displays, and similar applications. Compact enough for a bar top or buffet counter, it is built for regular, steady use rather than high-volume continuous crushing across multiple outlets.

In a working bar environment, the C-105 handles the kind of moderate, consistent demand that comes with cocktail service or a buffet station without becoming a bottleneck during a shift. It keeps pace with regular drink orders and processes ice quickly enough that service rarely has to wait. It is not intended for operations requiring large-scale continuous output from several service points simultaneously — for that level of demand, a heavier-duty machine would be a more appropriate fit.

• Processes standard ice cubes quickly to keep pace with drink service
• Compact footprint suits bar tops, buffet counters, and event stations
• Straightforward to operate with minimal training required
• Easy to clean between service periods, supporting good hygiene routines
• Works alongside an existing ice machine — no separate water line needed

Installation is simple. The unit needs a standard mains supply and a stable, level surface with drainage nearby for meltwater. There are no water line connections required for the crusher itself. Ensuring adequate airflow around the unit and that the counter can support its working weight will help maintain reliable performance over time.

The C-105 is well suited to smaller bars, hotel buffet counters, café settings, and event catering operations where crushed ice is needed regularly but not in volumes that would justify a larger dedicated machine. If your operation runs a busy multi-station bar or demands continuous high-volume output, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity alternative would better match your throughput.
