General Information

1. General Information

HISTORY OF COMPANY

Henry Vogt Machine Co. was founded as a small machine shop in Louisville, Kentucky in

1880. 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 much hard labor and large amounts of floor space for freezing, cutting, and crushing ice by hand.

Today, Vogt Ice , LLC carries on the tradition as one of the world’s leading producers of icemaking equipment.

Preview Vogt VT Series ice machines are built with the skill in engineering and fabrication that we have learned in over a century of ice machine manufacturing.

Furnished with your machine is the “Certificate of Test”--the report of operating data that is a record of the unit’s satisfactory operation on our factory test floor.

This manual is designed to assist you in the installation, start-up, and maintenance of your

unit. Your VT® machine will give you many years of service when you install it, maintain it, and service it properly.

Please read your manual carefully before attempting installation, operation, or servicing of this piece of equipment.

If you have additional questions, please call your distributor. Also, feel free to phone the factory direct at (502) 635-3000 or 1-800-853-8648.

General Information

 

 

Receipt Of Your Ice Machine

!CAUTION !

Only service personnel experienced in refrigeration and qualified to work on high amperage electrical equipment should be allowed to install or service this VT ice machine.

Eye protection should be worn by all personnel working on or around the VT machine.

It is very important that you are familiar with and adhere to all local, state, and federal, etc. ordinances and laws regarding

the handling, storing, and use of R404A.

!CAUTION !

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 the Vogt Ice can void the machine’s warranty. You should also notify your Vogt distributor or the factory.

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.

Important Safety Notice.

Installation Instructions

2.Installation Information

This information is intended for use by individuals possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical, refrigeration and mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair major equipment may result in personal injury and 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.

Special Precautions To Be Observed When Charging Refrigeration Systems. Only

technically-qualified persons, experienced and knowledgeable in the handling of refrigerant and 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 refrigerants.

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 R404A refrigerant when the gage 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 and illegal release of refrigerant into the atmosphere.

!CAUTION !

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.

!CAUTION !

Always store cylinders containing refrigerant in a cool place. They should never be exposed to temperatures higher than 110°F 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.

! CAUTION !

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 connected to an approved recovery mechanism with a safety shutoff sensor to assure contents do not exceed net weight specified by cylinder manufacturer or any applicable code requirements.

! CAUTION !

Machine may experience problems if operated outside of these ranges.

TABLE 2-3

Refrigerant Line Sizes

Machine Clearances: A minimum three (3) feet of clearance is recommended around entire ice machine. This will provide sufficient area for service and air flow.

Mount evaporator section (lowside) on storage area capable of sustaining its weight and secure by thru bolting.

Note: Ambient at the lowside should remain between 50ºF–105ºF. Makeup water temperature should not drop below 40ºF.

Installation Instructions

Piping Installation: Use ACR refrigeration tubing and nitrogen purge during brazing to prevent formation of copper oxide. For piping runs exceeding 25’, consult a reliable piping manual (Copeland, Heatcraft, or Vilter) for proper pipe sizing. Heat sink all ball valves and remove Schrader valve core prior to brazing. Pressure test piping for leaks. Evacuate lines to 500 microns prior to starting machine.

Using drawing and table below, determine ice machine location so that it is centered on bin. Place ice machine on ice storage unit and bolt in place. Machine must be level front to back and side to side for proper operation.

Installation Instructions

Wiring And Electrical Connection.

!WARNING !

Only service personnel experienced in refrigeration and qualified to work with high voltage electrical equipment should be allowed to install or work on the Vogt® VT

Series Ice machine.

!WARNING !

Main Power: Power for the entire ice machine will be supplied at the condensing unit.

Refer to the table below to properly size wiring connections. A fused disconnect switch must be provided near the condensing unit of the ice machine. Connect 3 phase power to compressor contactor L1, L2, L3 for operation of the VT ice machine and its controls. If one phase (leg) of the 3 phase power is higher or lower (“Wild”), it should be connected to terminal #L2. Connect the “Ground” wire to the “Ground” terminal provided.

FIGURE 2-7

Condensing Unit Circuit Breakers (200/230V)

Ice making systems with remote condensers are trapped internally. A trap leaving the compressor is not necessary. On vertical runs a short radius “P” trap should be installed every 15’ to 20’ of vertical rise to facilitate oil flow. Horizontal runs should be sloped in direction of refrigerant flow 1” for every 20’ of run. The condenser should be securely mounted in a place capable of sustaining its weight.

Storing Ice. When storing ice in a bin, make sure the bin control sensor is mounted in the bin properly. The sensor should be mounted on the right side of the bin approximately 8” –12” from the top of the bin.

FIGURE 2-15B

Bin Control Sensor Installation

Crushed ice weighs approximately 35 pounds per cubic ft. (35 lb/ft3). As ice drops into a bin, it will pile up and slope naturally at about a 45° angle. This natural slope should be taken into account when locating the bin thermostat sensor (or other bin level control) and when calculating the normal bin capacity. If the ice is spread out by hand in the bin for maximum storage capacity, make sure a hazard is not created by allowing ice to back up into the chute and jamming the cutter. Always allow enough room below the chute for at least one harvest.

VT40 = 25-30 lbs. / cycle

VT60 & VT80 = 35-40 lbs. / cycle VT100 = 47-52 lbs. / cycle
