Ice is one of the most important items served in any food and beverage operation and if you don't think so, see what happens when you run out. Ice is no longer one size fits all. The latest trends show operators are demanding a variety of ice to meet each site application. Perhaps it's the cube ice for beverages or flaked ice for seafood displays. It's important to know which type of ice is just right. At Hoshizaki, we offer three styles of Cube ice. Our signature cresent cube, the IM square cube, and our AM gourmet cube or top hat shape. Let's look at each type in more detail so you can determine how to specify just right for the operation. Our cresent cube has been called the world's most perfect ice. For good reason! Our exclusive design produces a hard, pure crescent shaped ice cube. Cuber ice machines have features which differentiate it. The stainless steel flat ice making surface is durable with long-lasting construction. This makes it easy to clean and produces clear pure cubes. Individual square cubes are designed for the discriminating customer. These hard large cubes are a favorite of mixologists for adult beverages and specialty drinks. Top hat style cubes provide a hard, individual gourmet ice. They are perfect for offices, residential, rooms or suites, outdoor kitchens, health care.
In the flaked category we offer the traditional fine flaked ice and cubelets-- a larger chewable ice. Ice is formed in a barrel type cylinder, moved upwards through an extruding head, producing a dry, flaked, or cubelet ice. Available in a wide variety of configurations, our cubelet ice offers fast cool down with good displacement. It's a customer favorite because it absorbs beverage flavors, allowing them to linger on your taste buds. Popular in produce and seafood displays, as well as health care, our flaked ice is a moldable ice that quickly cools down and maintains freshness of foods.
