KM-40C-HC Crescent EDGE Ice Maker – Self-Contained | Commercial Ice Machine

Spec Sheet

The Hoshizaki KM-40C-HC Crescent EDGE Ice Maker is a compact, self-contained commercial ice machine designed to produce up to 43 kg of Crescent EDGE ice per 24 hours under standard conditions (air temperature 10°C, water temperature 10°C). It is ideal for cafés, bars, small restaurants, offices, and professional foodservice environments requiring premium ice quality in a space-efficient footprint.

Crescent EDGE ice is crystal clear, solid, and slow melting, making it ideal for beverage service, bottle chilling, and professional presentation. The unit incorporates Hoshizaki’s advanced CycleSaver® technology, using a double-sided stainless steel evaporator that produces ice on both sides simultaneously. This reduces the number of harvest cycles, lowers energy consumption, minimizes mechanical wear, and extends the machine’s operational lifespan.

The stainless steel evaporator allows the use of mineral deposit removal chemicals without corrosion or flaking, ensuring easy maintenance and long-term durability. Hygiene is enhanced through automatic and manual water cleaning, refreshing the water circuit with fresh water every 20 cycles, and a sanitation mode that automatically cleans and refreshes the water circuit after 4 hours of inactivity.

The ice-making system includes an automatic rinse cycle, with configurable fresh water usage every 10, 5, 2, or 1 cycle (factory standard set at 10). A closed water circuit protects against contamination, while a DC pump with variable water flow and float switch-controlled water level ensure efficient operation with no water waste.

User-friendly design features include an electronic controller located on the front panel for easy access, a cleanable air filter, and a removable door gasket for simplified maintenance.
