Hoshizaki F-422MAK-C Cubelet Ice Machine, Air-Cooled, Self-Contained
The F-422MAK-C is a cubelet-style (mini nugget) ice machine designed to produce soft, chewable ice favored in beverage and healthcare/foodservice settings. It is a self-contained unit with an air-cooled condenser, meaning the compressor and condenser are built into the ice-making head rather than requiring a separate remote condensing unit, simplifying installation. Rated production is approximately 475 lbs. of ice per 24 hours.
Key features include an automatic hourly cleaning cycle that performs a brief purge each hour to help maintain sanitation and ice quality, and a factory-installed ultrasonic bin control that senses ice levels in the storage bin to regulate production automatically. The design is also scalable: two units can be mounted side-by-side ('twinned') to double total production where higher volumes are needed.
Construction includes a durable stainless steel exterior and a stainless steel auger with a greaseless bearing, both intended to support washdown environments and long service life. The unit uses R290 (hydrocarbon) refrigerant, an environmentally friendly, low-GWP refrigerant. Electrically it operates on 115V/60Hz/1-phase (hardwired connection), drawing 8.8 amps with a 15A maximum breaker requirement.
The unit ships without a storage bin; it is designed to pair with a range of compatible ice storage bins sold separately. Warranty coverage is typically 3 years parts & labor plus a 5-year compressor parts warranty on machines of this type.
