Hoshizaki Cube Ice Maker IM-240XPE-23 – Modular & Stackable Extension, Air-cooled, 180 kg/24h, M Cube

The Hoshizaki IM-240XPE-23 is a modular, stackable air-cooled cube ice maker extension unit producing up to 180 kg of cubes in 24 hours. In the IM CUBE range it is the Basic Cube and it makes the M cube (28 × 28 × 23 mm) shown by the -23 suffix. As a modular head it has no bin of its own and sits on a separate storage bin: Hoshizaki pairs the IM-240XPE-23 with the B-340SA; top kits: TK-48 for B-340SA (optional, not required), TK-IMD2 for B-340SA. As the extension unit it is stacked on a base unit of the same series to add production over one bin.

Versions and sizes

The same machine is listed as IM-240XPE-U-23 (UltraCUBE). Other cube sizes of the IM-240XPE: IM-240XPE-32, XL cube, 190 kg a day and IM-240XPE, L cube, 210 kg a day. The water cooled version is the IM-240XWPE-23, at 190 kg a day and 0.98 m³ of water a day against 0.73 m³ for the IM-240XPE-23.

Performance and connections

The IM-240XPE-23 measures 1,084 × 700 × 500 mm (W × D × H) and weighs 71 kg net. Electrical consumption is 0.87 kW and heat rejection 2.25 kW at 32 °C ambient and 21 °C water, with 0.73 m³ of water used per 24 hours. The IM-240XPE-23 runs on 147 g of R290. R290 is a natural refrigerant classified A3, higher flammability, so the charge belongs in the installation specification. Hoshizaki lists the IM-240XPE-23 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.

Installing it on a vessel

Hoshizaki gives operating limits of ambient temperatures from 1 u00b0C to 40 u00b0C, water supply temperatures from 5 u00b0C to 35 u00b0C 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-240XPE-23. 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-240XPE-23 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.
