Tube ice making machine is a kind of commercial tube ice machine. It is named after the shape of the ice tube produced is a hollow tube of irregular length. The cylindrical hollow tube with an inner hole of 5mm to 15mm, and a length of 25mm to 42mm, is available in a variety of sizes. The outer diameters are: 22, 29, 32, 35mm and so on. The name of the ice cubes produced is tube ice. The contact area is the smallest among the existing ice types in the market, and it has the best melting resistance. It is suitable for the preparation of drinking products, decoration, food ice storage and preservation, etc., so most of them are edible ice.(Food grade ice machine)

Tube ice specifications

Tube ice is a relatively regular hollow cylindrical shape. The outer diameter is divided into four specifications of 22, 29, 32mm, and 35mm. The height ranges from 25 to 60 mm. The diameter of the inner hole in the middle can be adjusted according to the time of ice making, generally 5 to 15 mm. between. The ice cubes are thick, transparent, beautiful, have a long storage period, are not easy to melt, and have good air permeability. Daily food, vegetable preservation, fishery and aquatic products preservation, etc.

Classification and structure

Category One

Tube ice maker machine can be divided into small tube ice machines and large tube ice machines according to daily output. The daily ice output of the small tube ice machines ranges from 350kg to 8 tons, and most of them are of a single structure. The daily output of large-scale tube ice machines ranges from 10 tons to 80 tons, and most of them are composite structures and require cooling towers.

Category Two

Tube ice machines are divided into two categories: Freon tube ice machines and ammonia tube ice machines according to the refrigerant. Generally, the daily output of the ammonia tube ice machine can be 10-80 tons.

structure

The structure of the tube ice machine mainly includes the evaporator, condenser, water storage tank, compressor, and liquid reservoir. Among them, the evaporator has the most complicated structure, the highest precision requirements, and the most difficult production. Therefore, only a few large-scale industrial ice machine companies in the world have the ability to develop and produce them.

Application field

Edible tube ice is mainly used in beverage cooling, food preservation, fishery and aquatic products preservation, laboratory and medical applications.

Principles of ice making

The ice part of the tube ice machine is an evaporator, and the evaporator is composed of many vertical parallel steel tubes. The deflector at the top of the evaporator sprinkles water evenly into each steel pipe in a spiral manner. The excess water is collected by the bottom water tank and pumped back to the evaporator by the water pump. There is refrigerant flowing in the outer space of the steel pipe and heat exchange with the water in the pipe, and the water in the shut is gradually cooled down into ice. When the thickness of the tube ice reaches the desired value, the water automatically stops flowing. The hot refrigerant gas will enter the evaporator to melt the tube ice and fall off. When the tube ice falls, the ice cutting mechanism operates to cut the tube ice into a set size.

Features of Tube Ice Machine

-Pre-Purify patented water purification technology, the tube ice produced can be eaten directly.

-The evaporator is made of high-quality stainless steel 304 and other materials, which meets the international hygiene standards.

-The machine adopts integrated design, compact structure, easy to install and use.

-PLC computer module, fully automatic ice making process.
