The FM-170EE-50-HC is a compact self-contained hydrocarbon ice maker which is available in either a flake ice or nugget ice option. Both types of ice have multiple uses for rapid chilling; it packs tightly, eliminating air pockets. Therefore, it is widely used in hospitals, laboratories and other medical facilities.

The machines are micro computer-controlled, self-adjusting to changing external circumstances without the need for operator intervention.

They are built to provide an outstanding level of performance and have a long life expectancy. Augers and evaporators are made from high grade stainless steel ensuring a high level of durability. The air filters are front-sited and can be accessed and cleaned easily, helping reduce the necessity of maintenance calls-outs.

A further feature that contributes to the machines’ performance is the CO2 foam insulated ice storage bins that are said to provide outstanding insulation values that prevent ice melting quickly.

At an average ambient temperature of 21°C, the flake machine option will produce 135kg in a 24 period while the nugget option will produce 120kg.
