Mining & Medical

Our ice makers aren't just used for serving drinks to customers. Our Hoshizaki ice machines are also used extensively throughout medical facilities and in mining situations.

Some of Australia's top medical centres, hospitals & nursing homes use our hygienic and convenient ice dispensers for both offering ice and water to patients in recovery, and also for use in valuable medical storage.

And our reliable ice makers produce large quantities of ice to help keep our hardworking miners cool as they work in some of Australia's remote and harsh locations.
