Industrial Tube Ice Maker

Working Principle

The Industrial Tube Ice Maker operates through a continuous ice-making and ice-release cycle. First, the compressor starts and the refrigeration system begins cooling the ice-making tubes. When the tube ice reaches the required thickness, the machine automatically switches to the de-icing mode. Hot refrigerant gas enters the evaporator to release the ice from the tubes. The ice then falls into the cutting mechanism, where it is cut into preset sizes and discharged through the ice outlet. This process repeats continuously to achieve efficient automatic ice production.

Tube Ice Features

The produced tube ice is clean, transparent, dense, and slow-melting, with a hollow cylindrical shape. Standard tube ice diameters are available in 22 mm, 29 mm, and 35 mm, with an irregular height of approximately 30–40 mm.

By adjusting the ice-making time, the inner hole size of the tube ice can be controlled, normally ranging from 5–10 mm. The machine can also produce solid tube ice without a center hole according to different application requirements.
