Utilizing Hoshizaki’s efficient double-sided KMEdge stainless steel evaporators, it creates uniquely shaped ice cubes suitable for various applications. This water-cooled, modular unit features a CycleSaver design, enhancing energy efficiency and simplifying maintenance with the EverCheck alert system. The KM1340MWJ requires a single-phase, 208-230v\/60\/1 electrical connection with five wires, including ground, and must be hardwired on-site, as no cord or plug is included. If a neutral connection is unavailable, a transformer kit (HS-5030) is necessary for proper installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Ice Production Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nProduces up to \u003cstrong\u003e1323 lbs of ice per 24 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for high-demand commercial operations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide-by-Side Installation Capability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMount two units together to achieve \u003cstrong\u003e2x the ice production\u003c\/strong\u003e, maximizing output efficiency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrescent Ice Cube Production\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGenerates \u003cstrong\u003ecrescent-shaped ice cubes\u003c\/strong\u003e that are slow-melting and perfect for beverages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Stainless Steel Exterior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBuilt with a \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel body\u003c\/strong\u003e for long-lasting durability and easy maintenance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide Bin \u0026amp;
