Ice maker and refrigeration manufacturer Hoshizaki has launched a new range of environmentally friendly and energy saving ice makers.
The new Emerald Class represents an important step in the future of ice machine design, the Japanese company said.
This pioneering range, which includes cube, flake and nugget machines with capacities ranging from 22kg–340kg per day, is the result of many years of research and development in the role of natural refrigerants. Emerald Class uses only a naturally occurring hydrocarbon refrigerant which, as well as having a negligible effect on global warming with a global warming potential value of less than five, uses significantly less energy. For example, in optimum conditions, the smallest machine in the range, the undercounter IM21-CNE-HC, can realise savings of more than 30%.
Hoshizaki added that the advantages of the Emerald Class include good compatibility with components, low charges allowing smaller heat exchangers and piping dimensions, and excellent thermodynamic properties resulting in high energy efficiency. The range of products incorporates small undercounted machines and larger capacity stand-alone units alike.
