Fabrication of Overlay Panel | Hoshizaki AM-50BAE-ADDS specs

(3) Fabrication of Overlay Panel

Fabricate the overlay panel as outlined in the applicable specification on the previous pages and the instructions below.

1)Rout a channel at the bottom of the overlay panel to the proper dimensions. See "(C) Routed Area" in the specification diagram and Fig. 8.

2)Drill six 1/4" diameter (hardwood may require slightly larger diameter) holes 3/8" (10 mm) deep in the locations designated. See "(A) Threaded Inserts" and "(B) Threaded Inserts" in the specification diagram and Fig. 9.

CAUTION

Use care when drilling holes for mounting hardware. All drilled holes must be straight and drilled to the correct diameter and depth.

3)Screw the 6 threaded wood inserts into the 1/4" holes drilled in the previous step. Make sure that the inserts are threaded straight and that the tops of the inserts are flush to the overlay panel surface. Otherwise, the overlay panel cannot be properly fastened to the door.

4)Mount the door handle hardware. Hoshizaki recommends that the door handle hardware be mounted on the edge opposite of the door hinge side (optional hinge reversal is covered in step 6). Countersunk screw heads are required to ensure that the hardware fasteners do not interfere with the overlay panel fitting flush with the door.

5)While maintaining a hold on the door, remove the hinge stop pin from hinge (B). Pull out the bottom of the door slightly and gently remove the door from hinge (A). See Fig. 10. If you are leaving the door right-hinged, skip to step 7. If you would like to reverse the door hinges, proceed to step 6.

AM-50BAE-DS, AM-50BAE-ADDS, AM-50BAE-AD specifications

The Hoshizaki AM-50BAE series is a well-regarded line of ice makers designed for commercial applications. Among its notable models are the AM-50BAE-ADDS, AM-50BAE-AD, and AM-50BAE-DS, each providing efficient ice production with different configurations to meet varied needs.

A primary feature of the AM-50BAE series is its ability to produce high-quality, crescent-shaped ice. This type of ice is ideal for maintaining the integrity of beverages, as it allows melty ice to cool drinks without diluting them too quickly. The crescent shape ensures optimal bite and retention of cold temperatures, a highly sought-after feature in foodservice settings.

The series is equipped with a reliable and efficient refrigeration system. This technology enhances the unit's capability to produce a significant amount of ice in a short amount of time. Depending on the model, the daily ice production can reach up to 98 pounds, catering to the demands of various commercial environments such as restaurants, bars, and convenience stores.

Another key characteristic is the durable stainless steel construction, which not only provides a sleek appearance but also ensures longevity and easy maintenance. The exterior material resists rust and corrosion, making it suitable for environments exposed to moisture and other elements.

All models feature a built-in ice bin, which simplifies storage and accessibility. The AM-50BAE-ADDS stands out with its additional self-dispensing capabilities, allowing for direct service to customers without the need for manual handling. This is particularly beneficial in high-traffic areas where speed and efficiency are critical.

Moreover, the AM-50BAE series incorporates advanced technology such as energy-saving mode and self-diagnostic functions. These features help in monitoring the machine’s performance, promptly alerting users of any potential malfunctions, thus minimizing downtime.

For added convenience, the intuitive control panel facilitates easy operation and ensures that users can quickly adjust settings according to their specific ice needs. The low noise operation is another advantage, making it ideal for environments where sound levels must be kept to a minimum.

In summary, the Hoshizaki AM-50BAE-ADDS, AM-50BAE-AD, and AM-50BAE-DS models are exemplary choices for those seeking efficient and high-quality ice production in commercial settings. Their combination of innovative technologies, durable construction, and user-friendly features makes them stand out in the competitive ice machine market.
