Purpose-built to navigate intense hospitality rushes, this high-yield ice maker delivers a daily output capacity of up to 99kg of flawless ice per 24 hours.
Engineered to support heavy drink volume without taking up excessive real estate, the IM-130CPE-23 fits smoothly into large bars, busy night venues, hotels, and processing areas. Featuring a substantial integrated 38kg storage bin, this commercial workhorse provides high-volume kitchens and beverage centres with a consistent, crystal-clear ice supply that meets rigid venue demands round-the-clock.
Why the Hoshizaki IM-130CPE-23 is the Ultimate High-Volume Bar Solution
For bustling hospitality venues, balancing peak operational volume with eco-efficiency and strict food safety compliance is essential to daily profitability. The Hoshizaki IM-130CPE-23 satisfies these rigorous criteria by using an advanced closed cell water circuit paired with a smart, variable-speed magnetic DC pump motor. By sealing the water supply during the freezing phase and running on R290 natural refrigerant, it limits resource consumption while keeping the active harvest protected from ambient dust, yeast, and grease.
System tracking is entirely streamlined via a forward-facing user interface. Onboard smart control boards adjust water flow dynamically through each cycle to avoid cloudy ice, while automated maintenance alerts keep you informed when the condenser filter or water paths need cleaning. To simplify daily closing checklists for floor staff, the unit includes an automated self-cleaning routine with wash auto-restart, maintaining exceptional cleanliness through every shift.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Why does the IM-130CPE-23 consume 585W of power while the -28 version uses 570W?
A: Because this model is configured to form standard 23mm cubes rather than 28mm cubes. Freezing smaller cubes requires an evaporator grid with a higher density of pocket cells, which cycles the compressor under slightly varied thermal loads—resulting in a modest 15-watt variance.
Q: Does this model require a gravity drain line or does it feature an integrated drain pump?
A: The IM-130CPE-23 uses a heavy-duty gravity drainage system. Wastewater must flow downward from the machine base, meaning it must sit elevated above your building’s floor waste trap unless you pair it with an external condensate pump.
Q: How does the improved water tank profile lower daily utility expenses?
A: Traditional high-capacity ice makers pull excess water into the reservoir and dump the surplus down the drain during the harvest phase. This updated design measures exact volumetric parameters for each cycle, dropping standard daily water consumption to 0.23m³.
Q: Can I use this unit safely alongside other kitchen equipment that gives off heavy heat?
A: Yes, the machine features a tropicalised air-cooled condenser rated for ambient temperatures up to 40°C. However, maintaining the minimum recommended side and rear ventilation clearances is highly recommended to protect your warranty and lower your power bills.
Q: Can the front panel display lock out unauthorised users from changing the cube dimple size?
A: Yes. The adjustable control panel features secure programming pathways. This ensures only managers or authorised service technicians can alter internal freezing settings or calibrate the target dimple size of the 23mm cubes.
