A Brief History Of Our Company. Henry Vogt Machine Co. was founded as a small machine
shop in Louisville, Kentucky in 1880. Today, Vogt Tube Ice LLC is one of the world’s leading
producers of ice-making equipment.
In 1938, Vogt built the first Tube-Ice® machine and revolutionized the ice-making industry. Our
first “sized-ice” machine quickly replaced the old can-ice plants, which required hard labor and large
amounts of floor space for freezing, cutting, and crushing ice by hand.
Vogt Energy-Saving Tube-Ice Machines Are Cost Effective. Today, Vogt Tube-Ice
enjoy a well-earned reputation as the most energy efficient, dependable ice-making equipment in the
world.
Using as little as one-half to one-third the energy required by competitors’ ice makers, Tube-Ice
machines produce the same amount of ice--in restaurants, sports arenas, packing plants, and
wholesale operations around the globe--at great savings.
In addition, Tube-Ice® machines are renowned for their long life, giving many customers more than
35 years of dependable service. Ask someone who owns one.
Preview. All the skill in engineering and fabrication that we’ve learned in over a century of
experience is reflected in every Tube-Ice® machine. Since Vogt introduced Tube-Ice® machines in
1938, the process of making Tube-Ice® ice has been widely recognized as the most economical
means of production. The machine’s economic and reliable operation has been proven over and
over again, in a network of varied types of installations throughout the world.
Furnished with your machine is the Certificate Of Test--the report of operating data which is a
record of the unit’s satisfactory operation at our factory test floor. It is evidence of our desire to
deliver to you “the finest ice-making unit ever made.”
This manual is designed to assist you in the installation, start-up, and maintenance of your unit.
Your Tube-Ice

Important Safety Notice. This information is intended for use by individuals possessing adequate
backgrounds in electrical, refrigeration and mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair major
equipment may result in personal injury and /or property damage. The manufacturer or seller cannot
be responsible for the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume any liability in connection
with its use. It is important that personnel understand the properties of this refrigerant and that they
be thoroughly trained in safe practices for its use and handling. Refer to the enclosed “Freon
Compounds and Safety” in Appendix A.
Safety Symbols & What They Mean. Prior to installation or operation of the Tube-Ice® machine,
please read this manual. Are you familiar with the installation, start-up, and operation of a TubeIce® machine? Before you operate, adjust or service this machine, you should read this manual,

Special Precautions To Be Observed When Charging Refrigeration Systems. Only technically
qualified persons, experienced and knowledgeable in the handling of R-22 or R-404a refrigerants,
and the operation of refrigeration systems, should perform the operations described in this manual.
All local, federal, and EPA regulations must be strictly adhered to when handling R-22 or R-404a
refrigerants. See “Material Safety Data Sheet”, MSDS Code No. DU000025 (R-22) or MSDS Code
No. DU005612 (R-404a) in Appendix A. For further information concerning refrigerants and
handling practices see internet web site: www.dupont.com/suva/
If a refrigeration system is being charged from refrigerant cylinders, disconnect each cylinder when
empty or when the system is fully charged. A gage should be installed in the charging line to
indicate refrigerant cylinder pressure. The cylinder may be considered empty of liquid refrigerant
when the gauge pressure is 25 pounds or less, and there is no frost on the cylinder. Close the
refrigerant charging valve and cylinder valve before disconnecting the cylinder. Loosen the union in
the refrigerant charging line--carefully to avoid unnecessary, excessive or illegal release of
refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Immediately close system charging valve at commencement of defrost or thawing cycle if
refrigerant cylinder is connected. Never leave a refrigerant cylinder connected to system
except during charging operation. Failure to observe either of these precautions can result in
transferring refrigerant from the system to the refrigerant cylinder, over-filling it, and
possibly causing the cylinder to rupture because of pressure from expansion of the liquid
refrigerant brought on by an increase in temperature.
Always store cylinders containing refrigerant in a cool place. They should never be exposed to
temperatures higher than 120F (R-22) or 108F (R-404a), and should be stored in a manner to
prevent abnormal mechanical shocks.
Also, transferring refrigerant from a refrigeration system into a cylinder can be very dangerous and
is not recommended.
It is not recommended that refrigerant be transferred from a refrigeration system directly into
a cylinder. If such a transfer is made, the refrigerant cylinder must be an approved, CLEAN
cylinder--free of any contaminants or foreign materials--and must be weighed continuously to
assure contents do not exceed net weight specified by cylinder manufacturer or any applicable
code requirements.

It is very important that you are familiar with and adhere to
all local, state, and federal, etc. ordinances and laws regarding
Inspection. As soon as you receive your machine, inspect it for any damage. If damage is
suspected, note it on the shipper’s papers (i.e., the trucker’s Bill of Lading). Immediately make a
separate written request for inspection by the freight line’s agent. Any repair work or alteration to
the machine without the permission of Tube-Ice LLC can void the machine’s warranty. You should
also notify your Vogt distributor or the factory.
Description Of Machine. A Vogt low side Tube-Ice machine is a remote ice producing plant
requiring refrigerant suction connection, refrigerant liquid connection, thaw gas connection, makeup water supply, electrical connection, and the proper refrigerant charge.
The machine has been partially factory tested prior to shipment and will require adjustment to meet
the high side (condensing unit) operating conditions. See Start-up and Operation for the correct
setting of the controls.
After factory pressure testing of the machine, the machine is evacuated and charged with nitrogen
gas pressure for shipment. This prevents air or moisture from entering the system during transit.
There should be a positive pressure (20-25 psig) indicated on the control panel gages when the
machine is received. The machine has been cleaned with ice machine cleaner and flushed so that the
machine is ready for ice production.
Safety Tags and Labels. Be sure to read and adhere to all special tags and labels attached to valves
or applied to various areas of the machine. They provide important information necessary for safe
and efficient operation of your equipment.
The machine is available in three different tube sizes for producing ice 7/8” OD x 1” long, 1 1/8”
OD x 1” long, or 1 3/8” OD x 1” long. The ice is cut to length by a rotating breaker type cutter. Ice
can be produced up to 1 1/2” long by modifying the spacers under the adapter plates (see Chapter
10, “Ice Length” for modifying instructions). Crushed ice is also available by modifying the cutter
and making minor adjustments to the machine (see Chapter 10, “Crushed Ice”)

INSTALLING YOUR TUBE ICE MACHINE
3. Installing Your Tube-Ice Machine
Your machine will be shipped to you as one package. You will need to arrange for the handling of
the package as soon as it arrives, see the machine specifications Table 2-1 for shipping and operating
weight. Before you remove the unit from the truck, be certain that any sign of damage, however
slight, is noted on the carrier’s papers.
Note: See “Lifting Procedure” drawing furnished with this manual, Fig 3-5 and 3-6.
Machine Room. The machine must be located inside a suitable building and must not be subjected
to ambient temperatures below 50F (10C) or above 110F (43.3C). Heat radiation from other
sources (sunlight, furnaces, condenser, etc.) and unusual air current may affect the operation of the
machine and should be avoided. The electrical components of the Tube-Ice
NEMA 1. Therefore, the machine should not be located in a hazardous area or sprayed with
water. The machine should be installed in an area where water will not stand, but will readily drain
away from the machine.
Space Requirements. Refer to the space diagrams, Figures 3-1 and 3-3, for recommended
minimum clearance around the machine for ease of servicing and observation. Pay particular
attention to the additional space required. If it ever becomes necessary to mechanically clean the
condenser tubes, extra space will be required on one end (preferably on the opposite end from the
water inlet and outlet) for the cleaning tools.
Foundation. Refer to the space diagrams, Figures 3-2 and 3-5, for recommended minimum
foundation requirements. The figures show anchor bolt details and machine anchor hole details.
Contact your local distributor for seismic anchoring requirements in your area.
