Hoshizaki Cube Ice Maker IM-220AWB Overview

Hoshizaki rates the IM-220AWB at 185 kg of cubes a day at 21 °C ambient with 15 °C water, and at about 200 kg a day on a 60 Hz supply. Because the condenser is cooled by water rather than air, output holds up in a hot machinery space better than an air-cooled cuber does. It has no bin of its own and sits on a storage bin (B-301SA, B-501SA, B-801SA). Call it 7.7 kg an hour at the middle rating.

Cycle and water

A freezing cycle takes about 22.5 min and drops 3.2 kg in 140 cubes, each one filled with fresh water in a closed cell, then released with hot gas. Expect about 240 liters of water a day at 21 °C ambient, which works out near 1.3 liters for every kilo of ice. The condenser draws cooling water on top of that: about 930 liters a day at 21 °C ambient, rising to 1,220 liters when the room reaches 32 °C, so the tanks or the watermaker have to carry both.

Power and size

It runs on a single-phase 220-240 V supply, drawing 4.8 A (50 Hz), 3.9 A (60 Hz) with a starting current of 37.5 A, and the motor is rated 870 W at 76% power factor; Hoshizaki asks for at least 2.5 kVA (10.4 A) at 50 Hz, 2.4 kVA (11.0 A) at 60 Hz behind it. The cabinet measures 560 x 639 x 775 mm and weighs 69 kg net, 76 kg in its carton. It holds 400 g of R404A, metered by a thermostatic expansion valve.

Installing it

The I-FIT sheets carry 60 Hz figures as well as 50 Hz, so this is one of the machines that fits a 60 Hz vessel without a question to the factory (200 kg a day at 60 Hz). Keep the room within 1 to 40 °C, the water at 5 to 35 °C and the pressure at 0.07 to 0.78 MPa (0.7 to 8 bar); voltage tolerance is ±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. Hoshizaki publishes this data for the IM-220AWA; the AWB is the code on the 2026 export price list, and we confirm any differences with Hoshizaki at quotation.

Next size

The IM-220AA sits next to it at about 180 kg a day, drawing 950 W.

Send us the vessel type, the board voltage and frequency and where the IM-220AWB will stand, and we will quote it with a bin and filter to match.

Questions about the IM-220AWB

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

Yes. Hoshizaki South East Asia publishes 60 Hz figures for the I-FIT series, about 200 kg a day for this model, next to the 50 Hz data.

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

Hoshizaki publishes about 185 kg a day at 21 °C ambient with 15 °C water.

Is the IM-220AWB 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.
