Hoshizaki has been progressively moving towards greener and more sustainable practices. Their new sustainability plan accomplishes those two basic goals and more.

The first principle in their plan is social sustainability. Hoshizaki’s multiple outreach programs, like charitable fundraising and global nature preserves, help the community live better and fulfilling lives. The second principle is environmental sustainability. Hoshizaki is committed to developing energy efficient  products that our customers love while complying with federal laws. Not only are our products energy efficient, but our facilities operate in an environmentally responsible manner as our ISO 14001 certificate reflects.

Does ice type really matter when deciding what ice machine to buy? It does! The type of ice you need really depends on what your customers want. If you own a fish market you need an ice machine that produces ice that keeps perishables cold and fresh, so maybe top hat cubes aren’t the best.

Hoshizaki ice machines are not only reliable, but also Energy-Star award winners since 2012. Hoshizaki’s mission is “to provide original products which are goof for the environment with clear benefits for our customers.” Hoshizaki recycles 100% of its’ scrap metal, electronics, packaging, pellets, warranty returns, and parts. Some Energy-Star approved ice machines are the DKM-500BAJ, KM-1900SRJ, and the KM-80BAJ.

                The DKM-500BAJ is a stainless steel ice machine with dispenser that’s a part of the Serenity Series. It can produce about 545 pounds of crescent shaped ice cubes in a 24 hour period. Its’ one piece design allows for easy installation and serviceability, while its’ self-contained design reduces opportunities for cross contamination. Three year factory warranty ensures that your unit will keep your business running smoothly.  This ice machine would
