Hoshizaki IM-30CPE Ice Cuber 

Product overview 

The Hoshizaki IM-30CPE ice cuber is a compact, undercounter commercial ice machine designed for bars, cafés and hospitality venues that require reliable daily ice production within a space-efficient format. 

Positioned above the IM-21CPE in the range, the IM-30CPE offers increased daily output while maintaining a compact undercounter footprint, making it well suited to venues with steady, consistent ice usage across service periods. 

Key benefits 

• Compact undercounter ice cuber with increased daily output 
• Produces dense, clear cube ice suitable for beverage and cocktail service 
• Integrated ice storage bin for convenient access during service 
• Reliable performance for continuous commercial operation 
• Durable stainless steel construction for hospitality environments 

Is the Hoshizaki IM-30CPE Right for Your Business? 

The IM-30CPE is well suited to venues seeking increased daily ice production while retaining a compact undercounter footprint. Typical applications include: 

• Bars with light to moderate cocktail service 
• Cafés and coffee shops 
• Restaurants with controlled ice usage 
• Front-of-house or back-bar installations where ice demand is spread across service 

For higher peak demand or larger venues, a higher-capacity ice cuber or modular ice machine may be more suitable.

Ice Output & Usage Context 

The IM-30CPE is designed to produce ice progressively throughout the day, with integrated storage supporting continuous service during normal operating periods. This makes it a strong choice for venues where ice demand is spread evenly rather than concentrated into short, high-intensity bursts. 

For sites with higher peak demand or extended periods of heavy draw, a larger ice cuber or modular ice machine may be more appropriate. 

Ice Quality & Reliability 

Hoshizaki ice machines are widely recognised for producing consistent, high-quality ice. Hoshizaki cube ice is produced using a controlled, closed-cell freezing process, resulting in denser, clearer cubes that melt more slowly than standard ice, helping maintain drink quality while reducing dilution. 

The IM-30CPE is built for continuous commercial use and is commonly selected by operators who value reliability, consistency and low day-to-day intervention.
