Ice-making innovation leader, Hoshizaki, is delighted to unveil their highly anticipated IM CUBE series of ice makers.
After years of meticulous research and development, this tried, tested, and perfected ice machine range heralds the next generation of ice makers, setting new benchmarks for ice quality, machine performance, and sustainability. Featuring a new enhanced motor delivering best-in-class energy and water savings, the new range improves serviceability and offers operators total flexibility according to their needs. Optional features include an integrated internal drain pump and UV sanitization. Within the IM CUBE series, operators can find four core variants, which are aptly named to focus on varying technologies;

CUBE – Hoshizaki’s entry-level model sets a new standard for ice. Perfect taste, perfect shape, perfect dilution – A bartender’s best friend, but also an operator’s best friend, thanks to optimal energy and water savings achieved via Hoshizaki’s new variable-speed direct current (DC) pump for making ice. This innovative feature ensures ultimate sharpness by delivering a burst of power at the start of the ice-making process to fill corners effectively, then gradually slows as the cube forms, minimizing energy expenditure.

FLEXICUBE – Including all the benefits of the CUBE, but with top-tier machine flexibility. These Ice makers pass space restrictions, even in inner-city locations. This is thanks to an integrated internal drain pump, which provides operators with more freedom around appliance placement in their venue, with up to 1.5m lift and 10m drain distance supported.
ULTRACUBE – Including all the benefits of the CUBE, these ice makers are equipped with UV light sanitisation for enhanced hygiene and food safety, which has two functions: air sanitisation and water sanitisation.

ELITECUBE – Combining all of the above, for a truly elite ice maker. All models within the IM CUBE range are capable of producing Hoshizaki’s signature 28mm sq ice cubes. Operators also have the option to produce smaller or larger cubes ranging 25mm sq – 32mm sq, popular sphere ice balls, or extra-large ice blocks measuring 48 x 48 x 58mm.

Uwe Reimer, Sales Director for Hoshizaki Europe highlights the key upgrades that the new series offers:

“Beyond the typical impeccable ice cube aesthetics synonymous with Hoshizaki, we’ve focused on key elements such as water and energy efficiency, hygiene, durability, and maintenance accessibility to enhance longevity. The IM CUBE underscores Hoshizaki’s commitment to meeting the evolving demands of the food service industry. Crafted with a deep understanding of customer needs, it provides mixologists and chefs with reliable, high-quality ice cubes, empowering them to elevate their craft with consistent supply and quality.”

Further peace of mind is achieved with Hoshizaki’s fully supported 3-year warranty. Operators of the previous IM range will find reassurance in knowing that all spare parts for the new IM CUBE range are fully compatible with their existing models. This compatibility ensures seamless operation and support throughout the product lifecycle.
