You get M cubes, 28 x 28 x 23 mm, at 103 kg a day, marked by the -23 in the code. Other versions of this model: IM-130CPE-23 (Basic Cube). With a different cube it is the IM-130CPE-U (L cube, 108 kg a day) and IM-130CPE-U-32 (XL cube, 116 kg a day).

Specs worth checking

The cabinet is 1,004 mm wide, 600 mm deep and 700 mm tall before legs (add 100mm), and weighs 80 kg. Power draw is 0.585 kW on single-phase 220-240 V 50 Hz, within ±6%, on a 5 A breaker. At 32 °C room temperature it releases 1.45 kW of heat. Water consumption comes to 540 liters per 24 hours, or roughly 5.2 liters for every kilo of ice. Refrigerant is 125 g of flammable R290 (A3), a figure the yard or class surveyor will ask for. Functions on the IM-130CPE-U-23 include automated cleaning and UV-C sanitization.

Installation notes

Operating limits for the IM-130CPE-U-23 are 1 to 40 °C ambient, 5 to 35 °C water and 0.7 to 8 bar, so check the space and the fresh water line against those. Being air-cooled, the IM-130CPE-U-23 warms the space it stands in by about 1.45 kW; in a small pantry that is worth planning for. Hoshizaki matches the IM-130CPE-U-23 with the 4HC-H single filter system. We quote the IM-130CPE-U-23 against your vessel (supply voltage and frequency, water line, fixing), working from Hoshizaki's data for the standard model.
