Hoshizaki IM-240APE Cube Series Modular Ice Machine (210kg/24hr)

Delivery Information
Price Match
The Hoshizaki IM-240APE is a modular cube ice machine capable of producing up to 210kg of ice per 24 hours. As part of Hoshizaki's established Cube Series, it produces the brand's well-regarded large format ice cubes and is designed to sit on top of a compatible storage bin rather than functioning as a self-contained undercounter unit. This modular format makes it a practical choice for operations where ice demand is high and continuous supply is critical.
In busy commercial environments — hotels, large restaurants, catering operations, and busy bar service — consistent ice production is essential. The IM-240APE is built to sustain output across extended service periods, and Hoshizaki's cube ice format is widely respected for its slow melt rate and clean, clear appearance, which matters in front-of-house drink service as much as in back-of-house food preparation and display.
Practical advantages this machine offers operators include:
- Consistent cube quality throughout extended service periods
- UV sanitisation mechanism inhibits contamination in the water tank and standing water
- Modular format allows bin capacity to be matched to your specific throughput
- Hoshizaki's refrigeration components are well regarded for reliability and longevity
- Large cube format slows dilution, which matters in quality drink service
Being a modular machine, the IM-240APE requires a separate storage bin — it does not operate as a standalone unit. Installation requires a dedicated water supply, a drain connection, and appropriate ventilation clearance, as the condenser will generate heat in operation. It is important to assess the ambient temperature of the installation space, as high ambient temperatures can reduce effective output. The unit is also a substantial piece of equipment in terms of footprint and weight, so floor loading and delivery access should be considered at the planning stage.
This machine is best suited to high-volume operations where ice demand regularly exceeds what a smaller self-contained unit could sustain — think hotel bars, busy restaurant groups, event catering facilities, or any site where running short of ice during service would cause real operational disruption. For sites with more modest or intermittent demand, a lower-output self-contained machine may be a more practical and cost-effective fit. For the largest central production environments, higher-capacity modular options are also available.
If you are assessing whether this output level is right for your site, or need guidance on bin sizing and installation requirements, the team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if 210kg per 24 hours is enough for my operation?
A practical starting point is to estimate peak hourly demand and multiply across your full service day, factoring in any food display or preparation use alongside drinks service. As a guide, a busy hotel bar or high-cover restaurant will typically consume significantly more ice than a smaller café or pub. If you are unsure, it is worth speaking with us before purchasing — undersizing an ice machine is one of the more common and costly mistakes in kitchen planning.
What are the installation requirements for this machine?
The IM-240APE requires a mains cold water supply, a floor drain or suitable drainage connection, and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. As a modular unit it must be installed on top of a compatible storage bin, so the combined height of machine and bin needs to be factored into your available space. We would recommend confirming water pressure, ambient temperature, and electrical supply with your installer before the unit arrives on site.
Does this machine include a storage bin, or is that purchased separately?
The IM-240APE is a modular ice maker head only — a storage bin is required and sold separately. Hoshizaki produce a range of compatible bins in varying capacities, and selecting the right bin depends on how much ice you need available at any one time between production cycles. We can advise on appropriate bin sizing for your expected usage pattern.
