Hoshizaki Cube Ice Maker IM-240APE-U – Modular, Air-cooled, 210 kg/24h, L Cube

The Hoshizaki IM-240APE-U is a modular air-cooled cube ice maker producing up to 210 kg of cubes in 24 hours. In the IM CUBE range it is the UltraCUBE with UV-C sanitization and it makes the L cube (28 × 28 × 32 mm), the standard size with no suffix. As a modular head it has no bin of its own and sits on a separate storage bin: Hoshizaki pairs the IM-240APE-U with the B-140SB, B-210SB, B-340SB; top kits: TK-30 for B-140SB, B-210SB, B340SB (optional, not required), TK-8D for B-210SB, TK-8D + TK18D for B-340SB.

Choosing between versions

The same machine is listed as IM-240APE (Cube). Other cube sizes of the IM-240APE: IM-240APE-U-23, M cube, 190 kg a day and IM-240APE-U-32, XL cube, 220 kg a day. The water cooled version is the IM-240AWPE-U, at 205 kg a day and 1.03 m³ of water a day against 0.67 m³ for the IM-240APE-U, rejecting 1.55 kW of heat against 2.51 kW.

Technical data

The IM-240APE-U measures 560 × 700 × 880 mm (W × D × H) and weighs 78 kg net. Electrical consumption is 0.85 kW and heat rejection 2.51 kW at 32 °C ambient and 21 °C water, with 0.67 m³ of water used per 24 hours. The IM-240APE-U runs on 147 g of R290, GWP 3. R290 is a natural refrigerant classified A3, higher flammability, so the charge belongs in the installation specification. The published supply for the IM-240APE-U is single phase 220-240 V 50 Hz, with a voltage tolerance of ±6% and a 5 A circuit breaker. Functions listed by Hoshizaki: automated cleaning, UV-C sanitization.

On board

Hoshizaki gives operating limits of ambient temperatures from 1 to 40 °C, water supply temperatures from 5 to 35 °C and water pressure from 0.7 to 8 bar, which is what the space and the vessel's fresh water system have to meet for the IM-240APE-U. Being air-cooled, it rejects its heat into the space, so the ventilation of the galley or bar has to take it. For water treatment Hoshizaki pairs it with the 4HC-H twin water filter system and its 4HC replacement cartridges. On a vessel the IM-240APE-U is specified like any galley appliance: supply voltage and frequency, water inlet and drain, ventilation and fixing. This page carries Hoshizaki's published data for the standard model, and we confirm the marine installation details with the quotation.
