Hoshizaki Cube Ice Maker IM-240AWPE – Modular, Water-cooled, 205 kg/24h, L Cube

The Hoshizaki IM-240AWPE is a modular water-cooled cube ice maker producing up to 205 kg of cubes in 24 hours. In the IM CUBE range it is the Basic Cube 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-240AWPE 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-240AWPE-U (UltraCUBE). Other cube sizes of the IM-240AWPE: IM-240AWPE-23, M cube, 170 kg a day. The air cooled version is the IM-240APE, at 210 kg a day and 0.67 m³ of water a day against 1.03 m³ for the IM-240AWPE, rejecting 2.51 kW of heat against 2.51 kW.

Performance and connections

The IM-240AWPE measures 560 × 700 × 880 mm (W × D × H) and weighs 78 kg net. Electrical consumption is 0.73 kW and heat rejection 2.51 kW at 32 °C ambient and 21 °C water, with 1.03 m³ of water used per 24 hours. The IM-240AWPE 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. Hoshizaki lists the IM-240AWPE for 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.

Marine installation

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-240AWPE. Being water-cooled, it takes cooling water as well as feed water, and releases far less heat into a small bar or pantry than an air-cooled machine. For water treatment Hoshizaki pairs it with the 4HC-H twin water filter system and its 4HC replacement cartridges. Vista Marine supplies the IM-240AWPE for galleys, bars and crew messes on ships, yachts and offshore units. The data on this page is what Hoshizaki publishes for the standard model; we check the supply voltage and frequency, the water connection and the fixing against the vessel before we quote.

Send us the vessel type, the supply voltage and frequency and where the IM-240AWPE will stand, and we will quote it with the matching water filter and storage bin.
