Hoshizaki Cube Ice Maker IM-130PE – Self-Contained, Air-cooled, 116 kg/24h, L Cube

Up to 116 kg of cubes every 24 hours, with a 50 kg bin built into the cabinet: that is the short version of the Hoshizaki IM-130PE. Spread over a day, it is about 4.8 kg per hour. From empty, its 50 kg bin takes about 10 hours to fill.

Choosing the version

This 116 kg/day machine is the Basic Cube build, so it has no drain pump and no UV-C unit. Cubes from the IM-130PE come out 28 x 28 x 32 mm, which Hoshizaki calls size L, the standard size with no suffix. If the version does not suit, the same body is sold as IM-130PE-U (UltraCUBE), IM-130PE-F (FlexiCUBE) and IM-130PE-E (EliteCUBE). Other cube sizes: IM-130PE-32 (XL cube, 108 kg a day) and IM-130PE-23 (M cube, 110 kg a day). The water-cooled twin is the IM-130WPE: 108 kg a day, using 600 liters of water a day against 470 liters here and putting 1.02 kW of heat into the room instead of 1.45 kW.

In numbers

It measures 704 x 506 x 1,210 mm (W x D x H) before legs (add 70-110mm) and weighs 71 kg empty. Electrically it needs single-phase 220-240 V 50 Hz, drawing 0.565 kW, within ±6%, on a 5 A breaker. Heat released into the room is 1.45 kW at 32 °C ambient. Daily water use is 470 liters, or roughly 4.1 liters for every kilo of ice. Refrigerant is 140 g of flammable R290 (A3), a figure the yard or class surveyor will ask for. Functions on the IM-130PE include automated cleaning.

On board

Check two things on board before the IM-130PE goes in: room temperature (1 to 40 °C allowed) and water pressure (0.7 to 8 bar, water 5 to 35 °C). The condenser blows about 1.45 kW of warm air into the room, which a bar with poor ventilation will notice. Pair it with a 4HC-H twin filter; at 116 kg a day that is the size Hoshizaki specifies. Send us the supply details and where the IM-130PE will stand and we will confirm the rest with Hoshizaki.
