Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

'The Salty Siren', a popular seaside cocktail bar in Whitby, needed to replace its old, unreliable ice machine that couldn't cope with the summer tourist season.

"We used to send staff on 'ice runs' to the supermarket on a busy Saturday. Since installing the Hoshizaki, we haven't run out once. It’s incredibly reliable, and  the quality of the ice in our cocktails is noticeably better. Our customers have even commented on it."

Clara Thompson – Bar Manager

The new machine now effortlessly handles peak demand, allowing the team to serve over 300 cocktails on a busy night with a constant supply of fresh, clear ice.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is on a firm, level surface to allow for correct operation and  drainage.
  • Leave at least 15cm of clearance around the sides and  back for proper air circulation.
  • Connect to a potable mains water supply using the provided hoses. We recommend a water filter for best results.
  • Check that the gravity drain hose has a continuous downward slope to an appropriate drain point.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean the air filter at the front of the unit at least once a month—simply slide it out, wash, and  dry.
  • Wipe down the door gasket and  storage bin weekly with a food-safe sanitiser to maintain hygiene.
  • Schedule a professional descale and  deep clean every 6-12 months, depending on your water hardness.
  • Regularly check the water inlet and  drain hoses for any kinks or blockages.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Ice Maker

Not sure which ice machine is the perfect fit for your business? We can help. Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Production vs. Storage

Think about your busiest day. You need a machine that can produce enough ice to get you through that, with a storage bin big enough to hold a buffer stock.

Ice Cube Shape

Different shapes melt at different rates. Hoshizaki's classic cube is solid and  slow-melting, ideal for preserving the flavour of premium drinks.

Air vs. Water Cooled

This air cooled commercial ice maker is great for most environments and  is more energy-efficient. It just needs good ventilation to work its best.

Placement and  Drainage

Measure your space carefully! This undercounter ice machine Hoshizaki is compact, but remember to account for ventilation and  access to a power socket, water supply, and  a low-level drain.

Water Filtration

We always recommend a water filter. It not only improves the taste and  clarity of your ice but also protects the machine from limescale buildup, extending its life.

The Hoshizaki Standard: Engineered for Peace of Mind

Buying a Hoshizaki IM-30CPE ice maker isn't just about getting a machine that makes frozen water; it's an investment in operational consistency. Hoshizaki is a brand built by engineers, for professionals. Their obsession with reliability means fewer breakdowns, less maintenance, and  no frantic calls to a repair service during your busiest hours. A key part of this is their unique closed-cell ice-making system, where each cube is made individually with fresh water, flushing away impurities. This not only guarantees a purer, better-tasting ice cube but also drastically reduces scale build-up on internal components. Combined with its use of eco-friendly R290 refrigerant and  its remarkable energy efficiency, this machine offers a lower total cost of ownership over its long life. It’s the kind of quiet, dependable quality that lets you focus on your business, not your equipment.

How Smart Insulation Saves You Money and  Hassle

Ever wondered what 'foam injected polyurethane insulation' actually means for you? Think of it like a top-of-the-range thermos flask for your ice. Hoshizaki injects a high-density foam into every gap in the machine's walls, creating an incredibly effective thermal barrier. This stops the cold air from escaping and  the warm air of your kitchen from getting in. The result is that the ice in the storage bin stays frozen for much, much longer. This means the machine’s cooling system doesn't have to kick in as often to remake melted ice, which directly translates to lower electricity bills and  less wear and  tear on the components over time. It's a clever bit of engineering that saves you money in the long run.
