How Does A Tube Ice Maker Machine Work?
The manufacturing process is engineered for ultimate efficiency and purity. First, water is pumped directly into vertical tubes located within the evaporator. The advanced refrigeration system then freezes this water starting from the inside core and moving outward. Mechanical scrapers are deployed to gently dislodge the fully formed hollow ice cylinders. Finally, the cut tube ice drops through the outlet and is seamlessly conveyed into your storage bins.
Key Features of Our Tube Ice Making Equipment
Food-Grade Construction: Every individual component that comes into contact with water or ice is crafted from 304 stainless steel, ensuring maximum hygienic standards.
Energy-Efficient Design: Our innovative water-cooled tube ice machine system slashes energy consumption by up to 15% when compared to standard air-cooled alternatives.
Fully Automatic Operation: An integrated PLC control panel allows your ice maker to run continuously and smoothly with minimal human intervention.
Customizable Ice Sizes: Depending on your specific cooling requirements, you can select outer diameters of 22mm, 29mm, 35mm, or 42mm.
Robust Components: We utilize world-renowned premium compressors from BITZER and HANBELL to guarantee stable, long-lasting performance.
Advantages of the Commercial Tube Ice Machine
Unmatched Purity: Produces uniformly hard, transparent hollow tube ice that will not dilute or alter the taste of premium beverages and foods.
