Product overview

The Hoshizaki KM-1301SAJ-E is an air-cooled stackable ice-making head that produces individual crescent cubes for commercial beverage service. Rated output is 624 kg per 24 hours at 21°C air / 10°C water. Its stainless steel evaporator and exterior support daily operation above a separately selected compatible storage bin. This purchase supplies one ice-making head; the storage bin and any required top kit are sold separately.

CycleSaver operation and EverCheck alerts support the ice-making cycle. Removable air filters provide access for routine airflow maintenance. Have the installer confirm the bin-control arrangement for the selected storage assembly.

  • 624 kg per day: Rated at 21°C air / 10°C water.
  • 50 Hz single-phase: Hardwired power; no cord or plug included.
  • Air-cooled: Removable air filters.

Production and utility use

At 32°C air / 21°C water, this model uses 4.52 kWh and 132 liters of potable water per 45 kg of ice. Actual output varies with air and water temperatures and installation conditions. Production per day is not storage capacity; choose the bin for the quantity of ice that needs to remain available during service.

Installation and stacking

Install the head indoors on a level, secure compatible bin or dispenser, away from high-heat equipment. Allow at least 15 cm (6 inches) behind, beside and above the installed head for airflow and service. Check the full drawing for panel and connection projections, and include bin, legs and any stacked head in the installed height.

A second compatible head can increase production without a second bin footprint, but stacking requires the approved mounting arrangement and correctly connected bin controls. Have the installer check the model, control-board configuration, required harnesses and bin-control settings against the stacking instructions. Do not assume that any two models in the comparison list can be stacked together.

Confirm the exact bin, top kit and ice-drop opening before ordering. Use the bin and top-kit chart and installation manual; width alone does not establish compatibility. Keep the bin-control sensing area unobstructed.

Electrical and water requirements

Provide an independent, grounded 220–240V / 50Hz / single phase supply with 20A circuit protection. A qualified electrician must hardwire the machine and set the transformer voltage tap as specified for the delivered unit. Follow its exact wiring diagram and nameplate when connecting conductors. The neutral terminal must connect to the supply neutral.

Provide a potable-water shut-off valve and gravity drainage with the required slope, venting and air gap. Run the head, storage-bin and condensation drains separately as instructed, and provide enough access for service. Use the model-specific connection drawing and local plumbing code to size supply and drain lines.

Cleaning and maintenance

Clean the scoop and bin liner with a neutral cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and neutral cleaner. Check removable air filters at least twice monthly and wash them when dirty. Have a qualified technician inspect and clean the condenser annually.

Have the ice maker and storage assembly cleaned and sanitized at least annually, more often when water quality or local sanitation requirements demand it. Follow the model’s chemical dilution, rinsing and sanitation sequence. Isolate power before maintenance and arrange complete draining before extended storage or freezing conditions. Do not use a water jet or wash plastic parts in a dishwasher or water above 40°C (104°F).

Warranty

Contact Hoshizaki or the supplier for the warranty applicable to this 50 Hz model and its installation country.
