Hoshizaki IM-50BAA-Q Sphere Ice Maker - 500 Clear Ice Spheres Per Day for Premium Beverage Service
The Hoshizaki IM-50BAA-Q sphere ice maker is a purpose-built specialty machine for bars, restaurants, clubs, hotels, and tasting rooms that want consistent round presentation ice without labor-intensive molds. It produces up to 50 lb of ice, or approximately 500 spheres, per 24 hours and stores up to 36 lb in its built-in bin. Its self-contained, air-cooled configuration keeps production, refrigeration, and storage together in one commercial stainless steel cabinet.
Each clear sphere measures approximately 1.8 x 1.8 inches, creating a substantial piece of ice for rocks glasses, signature cocktails, whiskey, spirits, and premium nonalcoholic drinks. The machine forms 15 individual spheres per cycle through its dedicated nozzle system. The large format melts slowly, helping beverages stay cold while limiting rapid dilution and presenting a consistent shape from drink to drink.
The 24-3/4-inch-wide cabinet uses front-in/back-out airflow and includes an insulated storage bin plus an ice scoop. Stainless steel construction supports commercial service, while HFC-free foam insulation helps retain cold in the cabinet. A factory-installed NEMA 5-15 cord allows connection to a properly dedicated 115V single-phase circuit.
Sphere quality depends on more than the nameplate rating. Incoming water quality, water temperature, ambient heat, ventilation, and sanitation all influence clarity and production. The machine uses more potable water per 100 lb than conventional cube equipment because of the specialty formation process, so buyers should plan utilities and drainage carefully and use appropriate water treatment.
