First Hydrocarbon cube ice maker from Hoshizaki

By James Russell: First Hydrocarbon cube ice maker from Hoshizaki

June 13, 2014

The IM-240ANE-HC is Hoshizaki’s first cube machine to use hydrocarbon as a refrigerant making it one of the few available in the UK.

This high capacity machine is targeted primarily at larger outlets under pressure to demonstrate environmental awareness and realise major energy and water savings.

Although virtually eliminating ozone depletion and reducing global warming to virtually zero, the R290 refrigerant used provides a further benefit in that it reduces energy consumption by approximately 20%. This is in addition to other water and energy saving features developed by Hoshizaki’s R&D team which is committed to pioneering the manufacture of environmentally friendly ice makers.

The Hoshizaki IM-240ANE-HC produces 210kgs of perfect ice over 24 hours. Hoshizaki is globally recognized for the crystal clear ice its machines produce. Made to an exceptionally cold -25°C, the ice remains solid for the longest possible time. In addition, the machine will operate continuously at temperatures of up to 40º C.

Features include:

  • outstanding efficiency operating in ambient temperature from +1°C to +40°C
  • unique, closed cell, jet ice making system that contains the water in the ice making process thus reducing cleaning and potential bacteria build up
  • fully automatic rinse and flush cycle that ensures clear, hygienic ice cubes
  • removable, cleanable, condenser air filters that reduce maintenance costs and improve performance
  • bespoke water filters that improve water quality by removing discolouration, odour and treat hard water thus contributing to the production of perfect ice and reduced machine maintenance.

The IM-240ANE-HC is an air cooled ice maker with 3 modular bin options.

Dimensions are: Width – 560mm, Depth 700mm, Height 880mm

Production is: 210 kgs per 24 hours.
