Hoshizaki IM-130CPE Cube Series Ice Machine (108kg/24hr)

Delivery Information
Price Match
The Hoshizaki IM-130CPE is a self-contained cube ice machine from Hoshizaki's IM Cube Series, producing up to 108kg of large, clear ice cubes per 24 hours. Self-contained units house both the ice-making and storage components in a single cabinet, making them a practical choice where space and installation simplicity matter. Hoshizaki's cube ice is well regarded in the industry for its clarity and slow melt rate, making it a common choice for bars, hotels, restaurants, and hospitality venues.
At this production capacity, the IM-130CPE is well suited to moderate-to-high-volume service environments. It will comfortably support a busy bar or restaurant through peak service periods without constant monitoring, provided the storage bin is appropriately matched to demand patterns. Like all ice machines, output will vary with ambient temperature and incoming water temperature — operators in warmer kitchen environments should factor this into their sizing decisions.
The IM Cube Series introduces a number of practical improvements over Hoshizaki's previous IM range that translate directly into easier day-to-day operation:
- Automated cleaning cycle with wash auto-restart reduces manual intervention
- Water circuit and condenser cleaning notifications help maintain hygiene compliance and protect performance
- Magnetic DC pump motor with variable speed supports efficient, reliable operation
- Higher-grade stainless steel construction throughout for durability and easier cleaning
- Standby and wash controls accessible from the front panel for straightforward operation
As a self-contained unit, installation is more straightforward than remote-condenser alternatives, though it still requires a reliable water supply, a drain connection, and adequate ventilation around the cabinet to allow the condenser to reject heat effectively. In warmer or poorly ventilated back-of-house areas, condenser performance and ice output can be affected. The unit should be positioned level and with sufficient clearance to the rear and sides as specified in Hoshizaki's installation guidelines.
The IM-130CPE is a sensible choice for independent restaurants, hotel bars, catering operations, and similar venues with consistent ice demand throughout service. It is not typically specified for very high-volume operations such as large event catering or stadium environments, where significantly higher production capacity would be needed. Equally, for lower-volume sites, smaller models in the IM range may represent a more economical fit.
If you are unsure whether this model is the right match for your service volumes or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk through the options with you before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Is the IM-130CPE large enough for a busy bar or restaurant service?
For most independent restaurants and hotel bars, 108kg of ice production per 24 hours is a practical working capacity. However, actual output varies with ambient and water temperatures, so it is worth considering your peak hourly demand alongside total daily usage rather than relying on the 24-hour figure alone. If your operation runs multiple busy sittings or has high ice consumption through blended drinks, it is worth discussing your specific volumes with us before deciding.
What are the key installation requirements for this machine?
As a self-contained unit, the IM-130CPE requires a mains water supply, a drain connection, and a suitable electrical supply. Adequate ventilation around the cabinet is important — the condenser rejects heat into the surrounding space, so installations in enclosed or warm areas can reduce output and put additional strain on the unit. Hoshizaki's installation documentation specifies the clearances required, and we would recommend reviewing these before finalising the installation position.
How does the automated cleaning function work in practice?
The IM Cube Series includes an automated cleaning cycle that can restart without manual intervention if interrupted, along with notifications that alert operators when the water circuit or condenser requires attention. This makes it easier to maintain a consistent cleaning routine, which is particularly useful in busy kitchens where ice machine maintenance can otherwise be overlooked. Regular cleaning remains essential for hygiene compliance and protecting the long-term performance of the machine.
