Hoshizaki Cube Ice Maker IM-240DWPE-U – Modular & Stackable, Water-cooled, 209 kg/24h, L Cube

Up to 209 kg of cubes a day from a water-cooled head that sits on a separate bin: the IM-240DWPE-U is built for ice rooms and busy bars rather than a counter. Hoshizaki pairs the IM-240DWPE-U with the B-340SB. Spread over a day, it is about 8.7 kg per hour.

Which IM-240DWPE to pick

The version suffix tells you what is inside: the IM-240DWPE-U is the UltraCUBE and comes with UV-C sanitization of the water tank. In the IM-240DWPE-U the UV-C unit works on the tank water between regular cleanings. Cube size on the IM-240DWPE-U is L (28 x 28 x 32 mm), the standard size with no suffix. The same machine also comes as IM-240DWPE (Basic Cube). With a different cube it is the IM-240DWPE-U-23 (M cube, 190 kg a day) and IM-240DWPE-U-32 (XL cube, 190 kg a day). Compare it with the air-cooled IM-240DPE-U, which makes 210 kg a day, using 670 liters of water a day against 990 liters here and putting 2.25 kW of heat into the room instead of 1.47 kW.

In numbers

Footprint is 1,084 x 700 mm with a height of 500 mm; net weight is 82 kg. It draws 0.76 kW from a single-phase 220-240 V 50 Hz supply, within ±6%, on a 5 A breaker. Plan for 1.47 kW of heat into the space at 32 °C. Water consumption comes to 990 liters per 24 hours, or roughly 4.7 liters for every kilo of ice. Its refrigerant is R290 (propane, class A3), 147 g of it, which matters when you decide where the IM-240DWPE-U goes. Functions on the IM-240DWPE-U include automated cleaning and UV-C sanitization.

Fitting it on a vessel

Operating limits for the IM-240DWPE-U are 1 to 40 °C ambient, 5 to 35 °C water and 0.7 to 8 bar, so check the space and the fresh water line against those. The water-cooled condenser suits tight, badly ventilated spaces, but the IM-240DWPE-U needs a steady supply of cooling water, around 990 liters a day in total. For water treatment, fit the 4HC-H twin filter ahead of the IM-240DWPE-U. For mounting the IM-240DWPE-U on a bin, Hoshizaki lists TK-48 for B-340SB (optional, not required), TK-IMD2 for B-340SB.
