Hoshizaki ice machines for the hospitality industry: the benefits of reliable ice production

In the hospitality industry, ice is more than an afterthought. Whether it's chilled cocktails at the bar, fresh fish on the cold buffet, or soft drinks on the terrace: without a constant supply of quality ice, operations quickly grind to a halt. A broken ice machine on a busy Friday evening is a nightmare every hospitality operator wants to avoid. Hoshizaki is recognised worldwide as the standard for professional ice production — and for good reason. At Retail Equipment Europe in Steenwijk, we supply both new and used Hoshizaki ice machines for the hospitality and foodservice industry.

Hoshizaki: a global brand with over 70 years of experience

Hoshizaki was founded over 70 years ago in Japan and has grown into a global player serving the hospitality industry in more than 100 countries. The brand has earned an international reputation for sustainable innovation, durability and reliability.

Crystal-clear ice of the highest quality

The most distinctive feature of a Hoshizaki ice machine is the exceptional ice quality. Hoshizaki IM-series machines produce extremely hard and crystal-clear square ice cubes at -25°C. These cubes melt very slowly, allowing customers to enjoy their drinks longer without any loss of flavour.

Hygiene as a priority: HACCP-compliant design

In professional foodservice, hygiene is non-negotiable. The unique IM-series ice machines are designed with hygiene as a priority, using a closed-cell ice production system with an automatic cleaning and rinsing cycle. Hoshizaki ice cube machines comply with HACCP standards.

Impressive capacity for every type of hospitality business

Whether you run a small sandwich shop or a busy hotel, Hoshizaki has a machine to match your production needs. The IM-series produces between 22 and 720 kg of ice per 24 hours, suitable for bars, pubs, restaurants, cafés and hotels.

Versatile ice range for every application

• Square ice cubes (cube): ideal for sodas, teas and cocktails; melt more slowly.
• Crescent ice: crystal-clear, free-flowing in the storage bin for maximum capacity.
• Flake ice: ideal for keeping seafood and fresh products at the right temperature.
• Nugget/cubelets: small, chewable pieces popular for soft drinks and frozen drinks.

Energy-efficient and sustainable

Hoshizaki is known for developing energy- and water-efficient, environmentally friendly ice machines. The latest IM CUBE series sets a new standard for ice quality, machine performance and sustainability, and comes with a three-year warranty.
