WE ARE SELLING ONE OF THE KEY “DRINK INGREDIENTS”
Now that we know
we are in the
business of selling

the ultimate

WHAT MAKES OUR ICE CUBE THE BEST IN THE WORLD?
Hoshizaki IM ice cube is Best-in-Class
at slow-melting.
Benefits for the drink:
• Long lasting chill
• Reduced dilution
• Retained flavour

WHAT MAKES OUR ICE CUBE THE BEST IN THE WORLD?
Why are Hoshizaki IM cubes slow melting ?
• Higher ice density
• Colder ice temperature
• Reduced heat transfer surface

HOSHIZAKI TECHNOLOGY JUST MAKES THEM BETTER!
How do we
achieve such
superior
performance
in our ice
cubes?
10 10
HOW DO WE ACHIEVE SUCH SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE IN OUR ICE CUBES?
1. HIGHER ICE DENSITY
IS OBTAINED THROUGH
INJECTING WATER
INSTEAD OF
SPRAYING WATER

HOW DO WE ACHIEVE SUCH SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE IN OUR ICE CUBES?
12 12
Competition water spray jets Competition complete system
COMPETITION USES WATER PROJECTION (SPRAY SYSTEM)
NOTICE:
Spray Jets tend to clog due to even small particles of mineral scale circulating in the hydraulis system. Cubes quality deteriorates as a consequence.
13 13
Competition

ice-forming
capsules
COMPETITION USES WATER PROJECTION (SPRAY SYTEM)
The projection point is approx. 2-3 cm from the ice forming capsules
14 14
Water projection (spray system) results in
lesser density ice cubes due to the air
bubbles that are trapped between two
adjacent water molecules.

PROXIMITY WATER INJECTION AS WITH HOSHIZAKI TECHNOLOGY
THE INJECTION POINT IS AT THE
BASE OF THE FORMING CUBE CELL
16 16
HOW DO WE ACHIEVE SUCH SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE IN OUR ICE CUBES?
2. COLDER ICE TEMPERATURE
17 17
THE SECRET IS ALL IN RETAINING THE COLD TEMPERATURE AROUND FORMING ICE
Cold air is retained, temperature @ -18ºC / - 25 ºC
Cold air is dispersed, temperature @ -1ºC / -3 ºC
Closed Freezer Door Open Freezer Door
-18 ºC -1 ºC ?
18 18
OPEN-CELL SYSTEM
• Allows for -25 ºC evaporator temperature to disperse
• Ice temperature stays just below -0.1º C
CLOSED-CELL SYSTEM
• Retains temperature around theice cube cell consistently at -25 ºC
• Ice temperature drops around-3º C
THE SECRET IS ALL IN RETAINING THE COLD TEMPERATURE AROUND FORMING ICE
19 19
CLOSED-CELL SYSTEM HEAT TRANSFER
• More efficient than open-cell:
• Higher contact surface with theback of the evaporator
• Cold evaporating temperatures(-25 ºC )
• Adjacent cells help diffuse heat transfer, reducing freeze-down time and energy consumption
ADVANTAGE CLOSED-CELL VS. OPEN-CELL SYSTEMS
20 20
• Far less efficient that “Closed Cell”
• The refrigerant copper serpentine has a lower heat transfer contact surface, half-pipe shaped, with the back of each ice forming cup
• Same evaporating temperatures (-25 ºC) cannot compensate
• Ice forming cups are separated by several millimiters, and enclosed in plastic, hence cold temperature cannot transfer from capsule to capsule
ADVANTAGE CLOSED-CELL VS. OPEN-CELL SYSTEMS
OPEN CELL SYSTEM HEAT TRANSFER

ICE CUBE “MARMORISATION”
Ice cube hairline cracks within formedice are created by:
1. Rapid freezing of water
2. The cube being formed in a confinedspace
3. Rapid heating during the ice “harvest” phase

HEAT EXCHANGE SURFACE DIFFERENTIAL
A geometrical 3D cubic shape of a square cube, with straight sides and square angles, once brought to a 2D
measure has approx.
12%-15%
less total surface
than a thimble shaped gourmet cube
25 25
Created by:
• Upper-side “half-pipe” groove created by the refrigerant tube
• Concave bottom
• Ice surplus ring at the base of the cube

ANOTHER KEY ASPECT OF SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE IN OUR ICE CUBERS:
4. BEST IN CLASS IN ENERGY
CONSUMPTIONSAVINGS
28 28
Important elements for sustainability:
• Natural refrigerants (R290)
• Lower energy consumption per kg of ice produced
FAR LOWER ENERGY CONSUMPTION
29 29
EFFICIENT HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH GRIDDLE STYLE EVAPORATORS
Efficient heat transfer area + (refrigerant tube soldered to a
full size metal plate)
Adjacent ice forming cells +
More efficient heat absorption =
Less time to freeze water +
More energy efficiency
30 30
MAKING GOURMET CUBES COMES AT THE EXPENSE OF THERMAL EFFICIENCY
Insufficient heat transfer area + (refrigerant tube has only partial
contact with ice forming cups)
Distanced metal cups +
Less efficient heat transfer =
Idle During freezing cycle
Evaporating system for open cell (top view)
More time to freeze water +
Less energy efficiency
31 31
THE CLOSED CELL SYSTEM = FAR LOWER ENERGY CONSUMPTION
• Greater heat transfer surface vs “half-pipe”
• Adjacent cell vs spread-apart ones
• A closed bottom cell retaining -25 C temp. vs open-bottom ice forming capsules
• Water injection vs water spray system
Ultimately, all this leads to energy savings!
32 32
TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP DUE TO ENERGY SAVINGS
Extra investment → 1 year
Purchase price → 7 years
Due to lower TCO

ANOTHER UNIQUE FEATURE OF THE HOSHIZAKI IM CUBE
5. THE DIMPLECONSUMPTION
SAVINGS
PROVIDING THE FINISHING TOUCH
34 34
THE DIMPLE
WATER IS INJECTED IN A SOLID STREAM
THE IMPACT POINT WITH FORMING ICE IS THE DIMPLE
OVERSIZED DIMPLE (FOR TRAINING PURPOSES)
35 35
DIMPLE SIZE ADJUSTMENT – SERVICE TECH ACCESSIBLE
The dimple may vary in size, and is adjustable within certain values:
• Minimum size: 2-3 mm
• The production of the machine capacity varies according to dimple size
• Hoshizaki declares production capacities according to dimples of 5 mm (lower) and of 15 mm (higher)
