| How the
Vogt Tube-Ice Machine works
|
|
Tube-Ice is frozen on the inside
of vertical stainless steel tubes by
refrigerant circulating in the surrounding
shell. A film of water fall from the
top of the tube, freezing from the outside
in. As the water freezes, salts and
impurities are washed back to the pumping
tank for automatic removal. When the
"tubes" of ice have frozen to the desired
thickness, the cycle is reversed and
hot gas from the condenser is introduced
into a rotating cutter which cuts uniform
ice tubes to desired lengths, or if
the cutter is reversed, the ice is crushed. |

Since 1939 Vogt has set the standard
of quality against which all other ice
makers are measured. Vogt craftsmen
use only the finest material to manufacture
what have become known as the "finest
icemaking units ever built". All fabrication
takes place in Vogt's modern production
facility under strenuous quality controls.

|
Vogt's foodservice capacity models are available
to produce as little as 790 pounds of
clear, hard ice per day. Larger foodservice
models produce up to 25,000 pounds per
day. Single large capacity unit can
harvest up to 80 tons of ice per day. |

Some Tube-Ice machines are set up
to change from cylinder to crushed ice
at the flip of a switch. Numerous bin
configurations are available. Tube-Ice
machines may be either water cooled
or air cooled, and may even be fitted
with heat recovery equipment. |

| Efficient, Economical, Long Lasting |
|
| Vogt Tube-Ice machines are the most economical
ice makers available. Operational
economy starts with the tubular
falling film design, by far the
most energy efficient sized ice
making configuration. Independent
tests on Tube-Ice machines found
them to be up to 2 and 3 times
more energy efficient than competitive
icemakers. In some installations,
Vogt's energy savings alone will
pay for the entire machine in
a very short time.
But economy doesn't stop with energy
efficiency. Tube-Ice machine components
and frames are all heavy duty,
perhaps even a little overbuilt.
Vogt discovered long ago that
light, "inexpensive" parts break
down more often, resulting in
very expensive maintenance and
downtime. Vogt's heavy duty construction
also insures long service life.
It is still common to find 30
year old Tube-Ice machines in
daily operation. |
