18. Dual Stainless Steel Evaporator 1 Poor water quality is one of the major causes of equipment break down. So we designed our equipment with a double flushing system that provides built-in self-cleaning and helps our machines last longer and produce ice more efficiently. The double sidedstainless steel evaporator design greatly reduces mineral build-up for more clear, hard cubes, plus improved pump and compressor operation. The result “A Superior Degree of Reliability”. 4 2 • KM Water Circuit Design • Inlet water solenoid; no float adjustment • Valve allows internal cleaning of evaporator • Check valve keeps machine cleaner • Crescent cube dimensions 3 Hoshizaki America, Inc. – “A Superior Degree of Reliability” www.hoshizaki.com

Dual Stainless Steel Evaporator • Features • Exclusive double-sided stainless steel evaporator • (ice making surface) • Removable water distributor • Cleaning valve • Reverse sump pump out • High volume water flow • Individual cubes • Built-in pre-chiller • Large water tank • Benefits • Durable long life – no plating, chipping or • degradation • No inferior plastic materials used in forming ice • Easy cleaning • Cleans water inlet circuit through evaporator • Reduces mineral build up • Washes out minerals for crystal clear harder • cubes • No cluster to break up, no adjustments and • consistent cube size • Increased KWH efficiency • One batch of water per one batch of ice, increasing • energy efficiency Hoshizaki America, Inc. – “A Superior Degree of Reliability” www.hoshizaki.com

20. Individual Crescent Cubes Hoshizaki’s patented stainless steel evaporator design has eliminated plating and ice bridging problems for unmatched reliability. We produce individual cubes on a flat stainless steel freezing surface. This eliminates design issues with plastic extrusions, nickel plating, and critical cube adjustments that are commonly used by our competitors. Individual crescent cubes are made from pure water since impurities are flushed away each cycle resulting in crystal clear ice and a longer lasting ice machine. • Features • Individual cubes • Flat open stainless steel surface • Evaporator stays clean • Benefits • No clusters or bridging • Pure crystal clear cube, no dimples • Longer lasting ice • Better displacement • Consistent cube size • Easy to keep clean • Maximizes production • Lower service cost • Reduces ice hang-ups • Longer life and reliability Hoshizaki America, Inc. – “A Superior Degree of Reliability” www.hoshizaki.com

22. CycleSaverTM All KM cubers feature the CycleSaverTM Design. The CycleSaverTM Design allows Hoshizaki cubers to produce the same quantity of ice in about half as many cycles as competitive ice machines. Fewer cycles add-up to longer life and less maintenance than competitive units. Hoshizaki KM Cubers will produce more ice, using less energy, while cycling ½ as many times as the competition. Features • Benefits • Reduces operating cycles by half in 24 hrs. while producing the same quantity of ice vs. competitors • Reduces energy consumption • Reduces mandatory cleaning and maintenance • Increases machine life and customer profits It will take a Hoshizaki Ice Machine 15 years to accumulate as many cycles as the competition in 6 years – extending the life of your machine. Hoshizaki Ice Machines also comply with the California Energy Commission guidelines – (CEC Tier 1) and qualify for utility rebates. Our ice machines meet US Federal standards - CEC Tier 2 and 3.
