The Hoshizaki IM-130PE-F-23 is a FlexiCUBE variant of a self-contained cuber from Hoshizaki, producing up to 106kg of Hoshizaki’s world-renowned hard and slowly melting 23mm cubes every 24 hours. Maximizing Space with Enhanced Flexibility The latest IM CUBE generation introduces a range of smart upgrades over the previous IM models. Enhancements include automated cleaning with wash auto-restart, water circuit and condenser cleaning notifications, high grade stainless steel components, a magnetic DC pump motor with variable speed, and dedicated stand-by and wash buttons. FlexiCUBE models retain all the benefits of the standard IM CUBE while adding features that make placement easier in tight or unconventional spaces. Many food service locations face height or drain limitations, which can restrict traditional ice makers. The FlexiCUBE includes an integrated drain pump, allowing flexible installation up to 10 meters from the drain and up to 1.5 meters in height. This enables project owners and designers to optimize kitchen or bar layouts without compromising performance. These models combine Hoshizaki’s proven legacy features with new innovations to deliver superior ice quality, reliability, and operational convenience.

Sustainable & Efficient

Designed with sustainability in mind, the unit uses eco-friendly R290 natural refrigerant and a high-efficiency magnetic DC pump motor with variable speed to optimise performance while reducing energy consumption. A stand-by function and premium foamed insulation (instead of polystyrene) further enhance energy efficiency, while the improved water tank design and smart variable-speed pump reduce overall water usage.

Durable & Hygienic Construction

A fully enclosed water circuit ensures maximum hygiene and food safety throughout the entire ice-making process. Internal components are crafted from food-grade stainless steel (AISI 430) to minimise wear and tear, while automated cleaning functionality maintains long-term reliability. An optional scoop holder kit further supports hygienic handling.

Advanced Technology

Equipped with a variable-speed magnetic DC pump motor, the system intelligently adjusts water flow during different phases of ice production. This smart regulation prevents chipped or cloudy cubes and ensures consistently high ice quality. The closed cell system forms individual cubes for precision and clarity.

Smart, Long-Lasting Design

Automated cleaning cycles, along with water circuit and condenser cleaning notifications, help protect internal components and extend machine lifespan. High-grade insulation and robust engineering ensure dependable operation even in demanding commercial environments.

Compact & Space-Saving

An integrated internal drain pump allows installation up to 10 metres away and 1.5 metres above the drainage point, providing exceptional flexibility in compact or restricted spaces—ideal for busy kitchens and bar layouts.

Plug & Play Installation

Designed for convenience, the removable water tank and DC pump allow easy access for maintenance. The intuitive control panel enables simple adjustment of dimple size, making operation straightforward and user-friendly from day one.
