Hoshizaki Cube Ice Maker IM-45CPE-F-25 – Self-Contained, Air-cooled, 42 kg/24h, S Cube

Up to 42 kg of cubes every 24 hours, with a 15 kg bin built into the cabinet: that is the short version of the Hoshizaki IM-45CPE-F-25. Spread over a day, it is about 1.8 kg per hour. An empty 15 kg bin fills in roughly 8.6 hours at that rate.

Versions and cube size

The version suffix tells you what is inside: the IM-45CPE-F-25 is the FlexiCUBE and comes with a built-in drain pump. Drain position stops being a problem: the IM-45CPE-F-25 pumps its waste water up to 1.5 m high and 10 m away. Each cube from the IM-45CPE-F-25 is 25 x 25 x 23 mm (size S), marked by the -25 in the code. Other versions of this model: IM-45CPE-25 (Basic Cube), IM-45CPE-U-25 (UltraCUBE) and IM-45CPE-E-25 (EliteCUBE). Need a different cube? Look at the IM-45CPE-F (L cube, 47 kg a day).

Power, water and size

Footprint is 633 x 521 mm with a height of 690 mm before legs (add 90-125 mm); net weight is 45 kg. Electrically it needs single-phase 220-240 V 50 Hz, drawing 0.245 kW, within ±6%, on a 5 A breaker. At 32 °C room temperature it releases 0.71 kW of heat. Daily water use is 200 liters, or roughly 4.8 liters for every kilo of ice. Inside the IM-45CPE-F-25 is a 70 g R290 charge, and R290 is propane rated A3 for flammability. Hoshizaki lists automated cleaning and internal drain pump for the IM-45CPE-F-25.

Where the IM-45CPE-F-25 fits

Hoshizaki allows 1 to 40 °C in the room for the IM-45CPE-F-25, water at 5 to 35 °C and a supply pressure of 0.7 to 8 bar. The condenser blows about 0.71 kW of warm air into the room, which a bar with poor ventilation will notice. The matching water filter for 42 kg a day is the 4HC-H single system. We quote the IM-45CPE-F-25 against your vessel (supply voltage and frequency, water line, fixing), working from Hoshizaki's data for the standard model.
