The Hoshizaki IM-130APE is a modular cube ice machine producing up to 125kg of ice per 24 hours. As a modular unit, it is designed to sit on top of a separate storage bin rather than incorporating integral storage, which gives operators the flexibility to pair it with a bin that suits their actual service volume. It produces Hoshizaki's well-regarded full cube ice, which is slow-melting and well suited to drinks service, food display, and hospitality applications where ice quality matters.
In busy service environments, the IM-130APE holds up reliably through extended peak periods. Hoshizaki machines have a strong track record in commercial settings — bars, hotel operations, event catering, and foodservice — where consistent ice output is operationally critical. The modular format also means that if production demand grows, the head unit can be replaced independently without requiring a full system change.
Practical advantages for day-to-day operation include:
- Full cube format melts slowly, reducing dilution and topping-up frequency
- Modular design separates ice production from storage, allowing flexible capacity planning
- Hoshizaki's stainless evaporator construction supports longevity under heavy use
- UV sanitisation on the UltraCUBE variant helps manage water tank hygiene between cleans
- Compatible with Hoshizaki's range of storage bins to match your specific ice reserve needs
Being a modular unit, the IM-130APE requires a compatible storage bin — this is not supplied as a standalone countertop machine. You will need to ensure adequate clearance for the combined head and bin height, a suitable water supply with filtration recommended, a drain connection, and a dedicated power supply. The machine should be positioned in a well-ventilated area, as ambient temperature directly affects production output; performance will reduce in warm or poorly ventilated back-of-house environments. Water quality in your area is worth considering — a water filter will protect the machine and help maintain ice clarity.
The IM-130APE is well suited to mid-to-high volume bars, hotels, restaurants, and event catering operations that need a reliable daily ice output without the constraints of a self-contained unit. For lower-volume sites, a smaller self-contained machine may be more practical and cost-effective. For very high-demand operations — large hotel bars, stadium catering, or central production kitchens — a higher-output modular unit may be worth considering instead.
If you are unsure whether this output level matches your service needs, or want to talk through bin sizing and installation requirements, the team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Is 125kg per 24 hours enough for my operation?
It depends on your service type and volume. A busy bar serving 200-plus covers an evening will typically use significantly more ice than a small café or food display operation. As a rough guide, drinks-led venues often work to 0.5–1kg of ice per cover depending on service style, so it is worth calculating your peak daily demand before assuming this output level is sufficient. If you are unsure, we can help you estimate the right production capacity for your site.
What installation requirements does the IM-130APE need?
The machine requires a mains water connection, a drain, and a dedicated electrical supply — exact electrical specifications are listed in the product technical data. Because it is a modular head unit, it must be mounted on a compatible storage bin, so you will need to account for the combined height of both units in your space planning. Water filtration is strongly recommended to protect the machine and maintain ice quality, particularly in hard water areas.
Does the storage bin come included with this machine?
No — the IM-130APE is the ice machine head unit only. A storage bin needs to be selected and purchased separately to suit your required ice reserve capacity. Hoshizaki produces a range of compatible bins, and choosing the right bin size depends on how much ice you need available at any one time relative to your production cycle. We can advise on which bin capacity is most practical for your service pattern.
