The Hoshizaki IM-21CPE is a compact, self-contained cube ice machine from Hoshizaki's IM Cube Series. It produces up to 30kg of Hoshizaki's characteristic full-cube ice every 24 hours, storing it within an integrated bin — making it a straightforward, single-unit solution that requires no separate storage vessel. The self-contained format keeps the footprint modest, which is useful where space behind the bar or in a small kitchen is limited.

In a real service environment, a 30kg daily output suits lower-volume operations where ice demand is steady rather than intense. A small café, hotel breakfast bar, or compact bar serving a modest cover count through the day will typically find this output adequate, provided the machine is running continuously and the bin is managed sensibly during peak periods. It is not designed to meet the demands of a high-volume cocktail bar or a busy restaurant service where ice consumption is heavy and rapid replenishment is critical.

The IM Cube Series brings several practical improvements over Hoshizaki's previous IM range that are worth noting in day-to-day operation:

  • Automated cleaning cycle with wash auto-restart reduces manual intervention
  • Water circuit and condenser cleaning notifications help operators stay on top of scheduled maintenance
  • Magnetic DC pump motor with variable speed supports energy-efficient, consistent ice production
  • Higher-grade stainless steel construction improves durability and hygiene compliance
  • Standby and wash buttons allow straightforward operational control without specialist knowledge

The machine operates at 51.1 dB(A), which is relatively quiet for a refrigeration appliance and broadly acceptable in front-of-house or bar environments where background noise levels are already present. Installation requires a mains electrical connection, a potable water supply, and an adequate drain. As a self-contained unit with an air-cooled condenser, it will need reasonable ambient ventilation around the unit — positioning in a poorly ventilated under-counter cabinet or enclosed recess will affect performance and should be avoided. Confirming your available space, electrical supply, and plumbing arrangements before installation is always worthwhile.

This model is well suited to independent cafés, small hotels, office catering facilities, or low-to-medium-volume bar operations where a reliable, compact ice supply is needed without the complexity of a modular machine and separate bin. For sites with higher throughput requirements, or where ice demand peaks sharply during a busy service, a higher-capacity model within the range may be more appropriate to consider.

If you are unsure whether this output level will comfortably cover your service requirements, the team is happy to talk through your operation before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Is 30kg per 24 hours enough for my operation?

It depends on your service volume and how quickly ice is consumed during peak periods. A 30kg daily output is generally adequate for a small café, low-volume bar, or hotel breakfast service, but it can fall short in high-turnover cocktail bars or busy restaurants where ice demand spikes sharply. If you are unsure, it is worth reviewing your estimated daily ice usage before deciding — we are happy to help you work that out.

What does the self-contained format mean in practice?

Self-contained means the ice-making mechanism and storage bin are built into a single unit, so there is no need to pair it with a separate ice storage bin. This keeps the installation straightforward and the footprint compact, but it does mean storage capacity is fixed — you cannot simply add a larger bin if demand grows.

What installation requirements should I prepare for?

The machine requires a mains electrical supply, a cold potable water feed, and a suitable drain connection. As an air-cooled unit, it also needs adequate ventilation around the casing — avoid positioning it in a tightly enclosed space or poorly ventilated cabinet, as restricted airflow will reduce ice output and affect the machine's longevity. Confirming your plumbing and electrical arrangements with a qualified installer before ordering is advisable.
