Hoshizaki Cube Ice Maker IM-100A – I-FIT, Self-Contained, Air-cooled, 98 kg/24h

Output on the IM-100A depends on where it stands. Hoshizaki publishes 98 kg a day at 21 °C ambient and 15 °C water, 100 kg in a cold room and 81 kg at 32 °C with 21 °C water. Ice is held in the machine, 52 kg (bin control setting about 34 kg). Call it 4.1 kg an hour at the middle rating.

How it works

A freezing cycle takes about 28 min and drops 1.8 kg in 80 cubes, each one filled with fresh water in a closed cell, then released with hot gas. Expect about 210 liters of water a day at 21 °C ambient, which works out near 2.1 liters for every kilo of ice.

Electrical and physical data

It runs on a single-phase 220-240 V supply, drawing 4.8 A with a starting current of 18.4 A, and the motor is rated 680 W at 59% power factor; Hoshizaki asks for at least 1.53 kVA (6.4 A) behind it. The cabinet measures 660 x 570 x 1,200 mm and weighs 76 kg net, 95 kg in its carton. Plan for 1,335 W of heat going into the space. It holds 400 g of R404A, metered by a thermostatic expansion valve.

On board

Unlike the European range, the IM-100A is published for 60 Hz too, at about 110 kg a day, which matters on a ship with a 60 Hz board. Working limits are 1 to 40 °C in the room, water at 5 to 35 °C and 0.07 to 0.78 MPa (0.7 to 8 bar), with voltage inside ±6%. Water comes in at G1/2 at the rear and the drain outlet is 22 mm ID at the rear. The 2026 price list marks the I-FIT series as non-CE, so we check what the flag state and class need before ordering.

Next size

If the IM-100A is too small or too large, the IM-130A makes around 116 kg a day on 630 W.

Send us the vessel type, the board voltage and frequency and where the IM-100A will stand, and we will quote it with a bin and filter to match.
