FAQ

Q: What are the plumbing requirements for the IM-500SAB?

A: The IM-500SAB requires a minimum 1/4" Nominal ID Copper Water Tubing or equivalent for the icemaker water supply line. For drainage, it needs a minimum 3/4" Nominal ID Hard Pipe or equivalent. The unit operates with a water pressure range of 10-113 PSIG and a water temperature range of 45°F to 90°F.

Q: Can this ice machine be stacked with other units?

A: Yes, the IM-500SAB is designed to be stackable. You can stack up to three units high, potentially tripling ice production capacity in the same floor space. For stacking two units, you'll need the HS-5530 stacking kit. For stacking three units, two HS-5530 stacking kits are required.

Q: What is the warranty coverage for this ice machine?

A: Hoshizaki provides a 3-year parts and labor warranty on the entire machine. Additionally, there's a 5-year parts warranty on the compressor and air-cooled condenser coil. This warranty is valid in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Territories.

Detailed Features & Benefits

Stackable Design and Space Efficiency: The IM-500SAB's standout feature is its stackable design, which revolutionizes ice production capabilities in limited spaces. This unique attribute allows businesses to vertically expand their ice production without increasing their floor footprint. By stacking up to three units, an establishment can potentially produce up to 1,467 lbs of ice per day (489 lbs x 3) in the same space as a single unit. This feature is particularly valuable in urban environments where space is at a premium, or in busy establishments that require high volumes of ice but have limited floor area. The stackable design not only maximizes ice production efficiency but also offers flexibility in installation, allowing businesses to scale their ice production capacity as their needs grow without requiring additional floor space.

Square Cube Production and Quality: The IM-500SAB's ability to produce individual square cubes sets it apart in the market and offers several advantages. Square cubes are known for their aesthetic appeal, making them ideal for premium drinks and presentations in high-end bars, restaurants, and hotels. These cubes melt slower than smaller, irregularly shaped ice, which helps maintain the integrity and flavor of drinks for longer periods. The consistent shape and size of the cubes also allow for more accurate portioning in drinks, enhancing the overall quality and presentation of beverages. Furthermore, the EverCheck™ alert system ensures that the ice production process is constantly monitored, maintaining the high quality and consistency of the ice. This combination of attractive, functional ice shape and reliable production makes the IM-500SAB an excellent choice for establishments where both the quality of ice and the volume of production are critical to their operations.

NOTICE: Do not use with water that is unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection either before or after the system.
