Compared with other ice forms, tube ice has the highest density and is the purest among all types of ice forms. It is not easy to melt and meets edible standards. It can be eaten directly, frozen drinks, mixed drinks, frozen food, Dim sum making and fresh-keeping.

The tube ice machine can adopt air-cooled, water-cooled, or evaporative cooling condensation methods based on the ambient temperature of the place of use.

Principle of making tube ice:

1. Tube ice forms inside the shell and tube evaporator. Water flows along the inner wall of the evaporator and undergoes heat exchange with the refrigerant, cooling down and forming ice;

2. When the pipe ice falls, the ice cutting mechanism operates to cut the pipe ice into the set size. The length of the ice tube can reach 50mm, and the outer diameter can be divided into four specifications: 22, 29, 32, and 35mm. The inner hole diameter can be adjusted according to the ice making time, generally between 5-10mm;

3.When the thickness of the pipe ice reaches the expected value, water automatically stops flowing. The refrigerant hot gas will flow into the evaporator and circulate around the pipe ice, causing the pipe ice to melt and fall off.

Features of tube ice machine:

1.With a long history of over 80 years in refrigeration research and development, it is crafted with pure German technology;

2.Global original Pre Purify patented water purification technology, with crystal clear ice quality;

3.All devices are assembled using 3D simulation, with a compact structure and more user-friendly operation and maintenance;

4.The evaporator is processed using materials such as SUS304, PE, and aluminum alloy, and its hygiene level meets international HACCP and FDA certification standards;

5.The compression condensing unit is equipped with a heat exchanger, temperature controller, and control of return air superheat, return oil, etc., to achieve the highest C O. P value;

6.The PLC computer module automatically controls the entire ice making process.

The tube ice machine has always held an important position in the field of food preservation due to its advantages in production and operation. That's all for the introduction of the tube ice machine. If you have any further questions about the tube ice machine, you can contact us~
