Hoshizaki F-1530MWK2 30" 1622 lb/Day Water-Cooled Modular Flake Ice Machine
F-1530MWK2
Product overview
The Hoshizaki F-1530MWK2 is a water-cooled modular flake ice maker producing up to 1622 lb per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water. Production at 90°F air and 70°F water is 1360 lb per 24 hours. This product supplies the ice-making head; the compatible storage assembly and any required top kit are sold separately.
A stainless steel exterior and stainless steel auger with a greaseless bearing support the ice-making assembly. Advanced CleanCycle24 runs a two-second flush every hour to help remove sediment. The hourly flush does not replace cleaning and sanitizing.
- Up to 1622 lb/day — Rated at 70°F air / 50°F water.
- Water-cooled system — Independent condenser-water supply and drainage required.
- Flake ice — Head only; compatible storage assembly sold separately.

Storage and bin control
Use an ice storage bin only; this flake model must not be installed on a dispenser. The installation requires a bin at least 30 inches wide; the BD Series is the recommended bin family. Size the storage assembly for the expected demand and the exact head mounting pattern.
Additional listed bin options include B-250SF, B-500SF, B-700SF, B-800SF, B-900SF, B-1150SS, B-1300SS, B-1500SS and B-1650SS. A top kit may be required; confirm the complete head, bin and adapter combination before ordering. These are separate accessories, not included storage capacity.
A factory-installed ultrasonic sensor controls the ice level, with a mechanical backup bin control. Set the shutoff level for the chosen storage assembly and keep the sensing area clear. Match the top kit and ice-drop opening to the exact head before ordering or cutting the storage top.
Installation and electrical requirements
Install the head indoors on a firm, level foundation away from ovens, grills and other high-heat equipment. Leave at least 6 inches clear at the rear and sides and 24 inches above for auger removal and service. Confirm the complete installed dimensions and storage-assembly height before positioning.
Qualified personnel must hardwire an independent, grounded 208–230V, 60Hz single-phase supply to the delivered nameplate and applicable electrical codes. No cord or plug is included. The ⅞-inch access opening accepts a ½-inch trade-size conduit connection. Use L1, L2, neutral and protective ground; connect the white lead to neutral for the 115–120V loads. If GFCI protection is required, use a GFCI breaker rather than a GFCI receptacle.
Water and drainage
Provide potable water through the ½-inch-FPT inlet with a supply line of at least ¼-inch nominal inside diameter. Use the ¾-inch-FPT head drain with at least ¾-inch nominal-ID hard drain pipe. Vent and drain the head and storage assembly independently, with a fall of at least ¼ inch per foot and at least a 2-inch air gap at the floor drain. Fit accessible shutoff and drain valves and follow local plumbing codes.
The water-cooled condenser requires an independent ½-inch-FPT inlet. Confirm the delivered drain/return fitting before plumbing. Use supply and drain/return lines of at least ¼-inch nominal inside diameter. Keep an open condenser drain separate from the head and storage drains. A closed loop requires at least 4 GPM, at least 10 PSIG inlet-to-return pressure differential and less than 30% glycol, with shutoff and drain valves at both ends.
Keep condenser inlet water at or above 45°F. Qualified personnel should confirm an outlet temperature of 104–115°F five minutes into the freeze cycle. Condenser-water use is additional to the potable water used for ice; no remote condenser is required.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean and thoroughly rinse the scoop daily. Each month, check external water filters and clean the exterior, bin-control lens, underside of the head, top kits, and bin door or dispensing snout with the specified neutral cleaner and rinse procedure.
Clean and sanitize the head and complete storage assembly at least every six months, more frequently where water quality or sanitation requirements demand it. Include the evaporator condensate and gear-motor drain pans, verify that drains are clear, and have qualified personnel inspect extruding-head seal bolts. Removed seal bolts must be replaced because their sealing material is single-use.
Annual service includes the inlet-water screen and drain valve, water hoses, condenser, fasteners, wiring and upper-bearing wear. After three years, have qualified personnel inspect the upper and lower bearings, O-ring, mechanical seal, evaporator cylinder and auger annually and replace worn parts to the service-manual criteria.
Disconnect and lock out power before service. Use the specified cleaning and sanitizing concentrations and rinse thoroughly; do not use ammonia-type cleaners. Refit and secure every component, fastener and thumbscrew. Follow the complete draining and winterization procedure before extended non-use or freezing conditions.
Limited warranty
Limited coverage provides three years of machine parts and labor and five years of compressor parts for the original owner/user. Register within 30 days of installation and retain installation records. Standard coverage applies in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and U.S. territories. Travel, mileage and premium labor are excluded, as are damage from improper installation, utilities or maintenance. Review the written warranty for start-date rules and full terms.
