What Type of Ice does The Hoshizaki KM-520MAJ Ice Machine Produce?

The Hoshizaki KM-520MAJ produces crescent cubes, a hallmark of Hoshizaki ice machines. The unique, curved structure, measuring 1/2 in x 1.5 in x 1.125 in (1.27 cm x 3.81 cm x 2.857 cm), provides several benefits. The curved surface allows water to flow evenly during freezing, washing away impurities and ensuring the ice remains crystal clear. These cubes are tough and melt more slowly than standard ice, minimizing the dilution of your drink. Additionally, the crescent design is visually more appealing, making them perfect for beverages in bars, restaurants, and catered events, as they melt slowly and minimize drink dilution.
