KM-590DJE-R452 Modular Crescent Ice Maker

The Hoshizaki KM-590DJE-R452 Modular Ice Maker is a high-performance commercial ice machine engineered to produce crystal-clear, curved “crescent” ice cubes renowned for their versatility, slow melt rate, and premium presentation. Designed for demanding foodservice environments, this model is ideal for nightclubs, bars, hotels, restaurants, sporting venues, entertainment facilities, and fast-selling establishments.

The crescent-shaped ice cubes are individually formed and dispensed, ensuring splash-free serving for post-mix soft drinks and excellent presentation for bottled beverages, wine, and champagne chilling without the need for additional water. Their unique shape allows them to nest efficiently in glasses, displace a higher percentage of liquid, and melt slowly, making them perfect for long drinks, Caribbean cocktails, and even fish display counters.

At the core of the KM-590DJE-R452 is Hoshizaki’s advanced KM(D) technology with CycleSaver® energy-efficient operation. The double-sided stainless steel evaporator produces ice on both sides simultaneously, delivering the same output as a standard machine but in nearly half the production cycles. This significantly reduces non-productive harvest cycles, lowers energy consumption, minimizes component wear, and extends the machine’s operational lifespan.

Incoming refill water flows between the two back-to-back evaporators, pre-chilling the water while naturally initiating the harvest process without additional energy consumption. This innovative design ensures reliable ice production even in warm ambient conditions.

The specially shaped evaporator promotes fast and free water flow, preventing minerals from freezing and allowing only pure water molecules to form ice. The result is exceptionally clear ice cubes, even in areas with highly mineralized water. The all-stainless-steel KM Edge evaporator can be safely descaled using standard chemicals without risk of corrosion or flaking, ensuring long-term durability and easy maintenance.

Crescent cubes self-level inside the storage bin, maximizing bin capacity and increasing daily ice reserves without increasing the footprint. The machine is equipped with Hoshizaki’s EverCheck™ self-diagnostic electronic control board, featuring audible alarms and diagnostic functions to assist technicians and minimize downtime.
