Hoshizaki Cube Ice Maker IM-240WPE-U-23 – Self-Contained, Water-cooled, 190 kg/24h, M Cube

The Hoshizaki IM-240WPE-U-23 is a self-contained water-cooled cube ice maker producing up to 190 kg of cubes in 24 hours, with an 110 kg built-in storage bin. In the IM CUBE range it is the UltraCUBE with UV-C sanitization and it makes the M cube (28 × 28 × 23 mm) shown by the -23 suffix.

Choosing between versions

The same machine is listed as IM-240WPE-23 (Cube), IM-240WPE-F-23 (FlexiCUBE) and IM-240WPE-E-23 (EliteCUBE). Other cube sizes of the IM-240WPE: IM-240WPE-U, L cube, 207 kg a day. The air cooled version is the IM-240PE-U-23, at 180 kg a day and 0.68 m³ of water a day against 0.9 m³ for the IM-240WPE-U-23, rejecting 2.58 kW of heat against 1.54 kW.

Technical data

The IM-240WPE-U-23 measures 704 × 665 × 1,510 mm (W × D × H) without legs (for legs add 70-110mm) and weighs 101 kg net. Electrical consumption is 0.75 kW and heat rejection 1.54 kW at 32 °C ambient and 21 °C water, with 0.9 m³ of water used per 24 hours. The IM-240WPE-U-23 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. Electrically the IM-240WPE-U-23 is rated 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, UV-C sanitization.

Installing it on a vessel

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-240WPE-U-23. 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-240WPE-U-23 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-240WPE-U-23 will stand, and we will quote it with the matching water filter.
