Hoshizaki Cube Ice Maker IM-220AA Overview

Output on the IM-220AA depends on where it stands. Hoshizaki publishes 180 kg a day at 21 °C ambient and 15 °C water, 190 kg in a cold room and 160 kg at 32 °C with 21 °C water. It has no bin of its own and sits on a storage bin (B-301SA, B-501SA, B-801SA). That middle figure is about 7.5 kg an hour.

Cycle and water

Each cycle runs 23 min and releases 3.2 kg in 140 cubes; the cells are filled with fresh water every time and cleared by hot gas defrost. Water use at the middle rating is about 310 liters a day, roughly 1.7 liters per kilo of ice.

Power and size

It runs on a single-phase 220-240 V supply, drawing 5.3 A with a starting current of 38 A, and the motor is rated 950 W at 76% power factor; Hoshizaki asks for at least 2.4 kVA (10.0 A) behind it. The cabinet measures 560 x 639 x 775 mm and weighs 69 kg net, 76 kg in its carton. Plan for 2,250 W of heat going into the space. It holds 500 g of R404A, metered by a thermostatic expansion valve.

Installing it

A 60 Hz supply is covered by Hoshizaki's own data for the IM-220AA: about 210 kg a day. 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 G3/4 (condenser inlet Rc1/2) and the drain is R3/4 (condenser outlet Rc1/2). The 2026 price list marks the I-FIT series as non-CE, so we check what the flag state and class need before ordering.

Compared with its neighbor

If the IM-220AA 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-220AA will stand, and we will quote it with a bin and filter to match.

Questions about the IM-220AA

Does the Hoshizaki IM-220AA work on a 60 Hz supply?

Yes. Hoshizaki South East Asia publishes 60 Hz figures for the I-FIT series, about 210 kg a day for this model, next to the 50 Hz data.

How much ice does the IM-220AA make in a hot galley?

About 160 kg a day at 32 °C ambient with 21 °C water, against 180 kg at 21 °C and 15 °C.

Is the IM-220AA CE marked?

No. The Hoshizaki 2026 export price list marks the I-FIT series as non-CE approved, so certification for the vessel is checked before ordering.
