A Brief History Of Our Company. In 1938, Vogt built the first Tube-Ice
revolutionized the ice-making industry. Our first “sized-ice” machine quickly replaced the old canice 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-Ice
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, Vogt-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, Vogt-Ice
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 Vogt-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.

P34F Service Manual
Special Precautions To Be Observed When Charging Refrigeration Systems. Only technically
qualified persons, experienced and knowledgeable in the handling of R-22/ R404a refrigerant, 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/ R404A
refrigerant. See “Material Safety Data Sheet”, MSDS Code No. DU000025 (R-22 / R404a) 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/ R404A), 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.

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 Vogt Ice LLC can void the machine’s warranty. You should
also notify your Vogt distributor or the factory.
Description Of Machine. A Vogt package Tube-Ice machine is a complete ice producing plant
requiring only make-up water supply, condenser water supply, electrical connection, and the proper
refrigerant charge.
The machine has been fully factory tested prior to shipment and should require minimum
adjustment.
The compressor oil is drained and the compressor suction strainer is cleaned and the cloth filter is
removed. The crankcase is inspected and cleaned by removing the side hand hole cover, swabbing
out the remaining oil and wiping the interior sides and bottom with a clean dry cloth. New oil is
added, and the compressor is evacuated then pressurized to 20-25 psig with refrigerant.
Refer to your compressor manual for additional operation, service, maintenance instructions, and
information.
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.

Notes:
1. Makeup water is average flow and includes 25% blowdown. Peak flow rate is 15 GPM. at 40 PSI minimum. When water quality is good,
machine can be operated with 5% to 10% blowdown.
2. Ratings are at 90F ambient for ice machine.
3. Capacity ratings are based on 85F water entering condenser. For entering water temperatures above 85F, deduct 4% in capacity for each 5F.
4. Capacity shown is the average for model. Individual machines may vary up to 5% above or below depending on field conditions.
TABLE 2-1
P34F Specifications
Storage (prior to installation or start-up). The machine must not be stored or installed in an area
that is subject to reach temperatures at or above 110F (43.3C). Temperatures above this may
cause the relief valves to open and result in the loss of refrigerant.

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, Figure 3-3.
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 Vogt-Ice® machine are rated
IEC. 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 3-1A and 3-1B, 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 foundation drawings, Figure 3-2, 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.
! WARNING !
Lifting or moving heavy equipment should only be attempted by
competent rigging and hoisting contractors. Never allow personnel
near or under heavy equipment when it is being moved or lifted.
Failure to comply could result in personal injury or loss of life.
! WARNING !
Lifting Procedures. Your Tube-Ice machine is provided with lifting lugs for the purpose of
unloading and moving the machine to its operation location. Refer to the enclosed drawings for
instructions and illustrations of their use.
