Hoshizaki KML-700MAJ | KMEdge Low-Profile Modular Crescent Cuber, Air-cooled | Replaced by KMD-705MAJ

Notice: This product is discontinued and is now replaced with the Hoshizaki KMD-705MAJ, which includes upgraded refrigeration features. See product details here.

The KML-700MAJ is a high-capacity, low-profile modular crescent cuber ice machine from Hoshizaki. This versatile unit offers impressive ice production capabilities in a compact design, making it ideal for various commercial applications where space is at a premium. Its standout features include high daily ice output, the innovative CycleSaver™ technology, and the EverCheck™ alert system, setting it apart in the commercial ice machine market with its efficiency and reliability. Its replacement, the KMD-705MAJ, builds on this foundation with higher ice output, a shallower cabinet depth, and added features like CleanAssist™ one-hour cleaning and self-diagnostic programming, though it also uses more water per 100 lbs of ice, which is worth factoring into your decision.

Key Specifications:

• Ice Production: Up to 721 lbs. of ice production per 24 hours, suitable for high-demand environments. 
• Dimensions: 30" W x 24" D x 26" H, offering a low-profile design for flexible installation options. 
• Electrical: 115V/60/1, 14.3A running load, 20A maximum fuse size. 
• Refrigerant: R-404A, with a charge amount of 2 lb. 12.1 oz. 
• Operating Limits: Ambient temperature range of 45-100°F, water temperature range of 45-90°F.

Features & Benefits:

• CycleSaver™ Design: Enhances energy efficiency and extends the life of the compressor by reducing the number of start-stop cycles.
• EverCheck™ Alert System: Monitors machine status for optimal performance and early problem detection.
• Modular Design: Allows for flexible installation on various bin options, catering to different capacity needs.
• Durable Construction: Stainless steel exterior and evaporator ensure longevity and easy cleaning in demanding commercial environments.
• Easy Maintenance: Removable air filters simplify routine cleaning and servicing.
• KMD-705MAJ Replacement: Adds several features not found on the KML-700MAJ, including CleanAssist™ one-hour cleaning, self-diagnostic programming that automatically adjusts to changing conditions, factory-installed ultrasonic bin control (field-adjustable), a stainless steel double-sided evaporator, and snap-fit parts for easier cleaning. It's also optimized for use with an ice and beverage dispenser. These upgrades come with a trade-off: the KMD-705MAJ uses more water per 100 lbs of ice than the KML-700MAJ.

What's Included:

• Modular Crescent Cuber Ice Machine
• Removable air filters

FAQ

Q: What bin options are compatible with the KML-700MAJ?

A: The KML-700MAJ is compatible with various bin options, including B-250SF, B-500SF, B-700SF, B-800SF, B-900SF, B-1150SS, B-1300SS, B-1500SS (two unit application only), B-1650SS (two unit application only), DB-200H, and DM-200B. A top kit may be required for some bin installations. The KMD-705MAJ replacement is compatible with the same bin lineup, plus BD-500SF.

Q: What are the water supply requirements for the KML-700MAJ?

A: The ice machine requires a minimum 1/4" Nominal ID Copper Water Tubing or equivalent for the water supply line. The water pressure should be between 10-113 PSIG, and the water temperature should be within 45-90°F. The KMD-705MAJ shares these same water supply requirements.

Q: How much clearance is required for proper installation and operation?

A: The KML-700MAJ requires 6" (15 cm) clearance at the rear, sides, and top for proper air circulation and ease of maintenance/service. The KMD-705MAJ requires the same clearance, but its shallower 24" depth may make it easier to fit in tighter spaces.

Q: Why was the KML-700MAJ replaced by the KMD-705MAJ, and what changed?

A: Unlike some other model transitions, this one isn't driven by a refrigerant change — both units run on R-404A. Instead, the KMD-705MAJ is a broader redesign: higher ice output, a shallower cabinet, a double-sided evaporator, and added features like CleanAssist™ cleaning, self-diagnostics, and ultrasonic bin control. The main trade-off is water usage, which is notably higher on the KMD-705MAJ (22.0 vs. 16.0 gallons per 100 lbs of ice). If water cost or usage is a concern for your location, factor that in before switching.

Detailed Features & Benefits

High-Capacity Ice Production in a Compact Design: The KML-700MAJ stands out with its impressive ice production capacity of up to 665 lbs per 24 hours, all within a low-profile design measuring just 26" in height. This combination of high output and compact size makes it an ideal solution for businesses with limited space but high ice demands, such as busy restaurants, hotels, or healthcare facilities. The modular design allows for flexible installation on various bin options, enabling businesses to customize their ice storage capacity according to their specific needs. This versatility ensures that the KML-700MAJ can adapt to a wide range of commercial environments, providing a reliable and efficient ice supply even during peak demand periods. The KMD-705MAJ replacement pushes ice output even higher, to up to 721 lbs per 24 hours, while trimming cabinet depth to 24" for an even smaller footprint.

Advanced Efficiency and Monitoring Systems: The KML-700MAJ features Hoshizaki's CycleSaver™ technology, which significantly enhances the machine's energy efficiency. By reducing start-stop cycles, this feature not only lowers energy consumption but also extends the compressor's life, resulting in long-term cost savings and reduced maintenance needs. Complementing this is the EverCheck™ alert system, an advanced monitoring technology that continuously oversees the machine's operation. This system provides early detection of potential issues, allowing for proactive maintenance and minimizing unexpected downtime. The combination of these technologies ensures that the KML-700MAJ operates at peak performance while providing users with the tools to maintain optimal performance over time, making it a smart investment for businesses prioritizing both productivity and operational efficiency in their ice production. The KMD-705MAJ replacement builds on this with self-diagnostic programming that automatically adjusts to changing conditions, plus a CleanAssist™ system that reduces full cleaning cycles down to about one hour.

NOTICE: Ensure proper maintenance and cleaning of your ice machine to guarantee the highest quality ice production and machine longevity.
