Tube Ice MachineA tube ice machine is a type of ice maker. It is named because the shape of the ice cubes produced is a hollow tube with irregular length. The inner hole is cylindrical hollow tube ice with an inner hole of 5mm to 15mm, and the length is between 25mm and 42mm. There are various sizes to choose from. The outer diameters are: 22, 29, 32, 35mm, etc. 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 the melting resistance is the best. It is suitable for beverage preparation, decoration, food preservation, etc., so most of them are edible ice.Tube Ice SpecificationsTube ice is a relatively regular hollow cylindrical shape, the outer diameter is divided into four specifications: 22, 29, 32mm, 35mm, and the height varies from 25 to 60mm. The diameter of the inner hole in the middle can be adjusted according to the time of ice making, generally 5 to 15mm. between. Ice cubes are thick, transparent, beautiful, have a long storage period, are not easy to melt, and have good air permeability. Daily consumption, preservation of vegetables, preservation of fishery and aquatic products, etc.Classification and structureClassificationThe tube ice machine can be divided into two categories: small tube ice machine and large tube ice machine according to the daily output (according to the international standard working conditions: dry bulb temperature 33C, inlet water temperature 20C.). The daily ice output of small tube ice machines ranges from 1 ton to 8 tons, and most of them are of single structure. The daily ice output of large tube ice machines ranges from 10 tons to up to 60 tons. Most of them are composite structures and need to be equipped with cooling towers.structureThe structure of the tube ice machine mainly includes the evaporator, the condenser, the water storage tank, the compressor, and the liquid storage. Among them, the evaporator has the most complex structure, the highest precision requirements, and the most difficult production. Therefore, there are only a few large-scale industrial ice machine companies in the world that have the ability to develop and produce them.Application fieldEdible tube ice is mainly used in beverage cooling, food preservation, fishing boat and aquatic product preservation, laboratory and medical applications, etc. Ice Machine Features(1) Pre-Purify patented water purification technology, the tube ice produced can be eaten directly.(2) The evaporator is made of high-quality stainless steel 304 and other materials to meet international hygiene standards.(3) The machine adopts integrated design, compact structure, easy installation and use.(4) PLC computer module, fully automatic ice making processice making principleThe ice part of the tube ice machine is an evaporator, and the evaporator is composed of many vertical parallel steel pipes. The deflector at the top of the evaporator spreads the water evenly into each steel pipe in a spiral fashion. The excess water is collected in the bottom tank and pumped back to the evaporator by the 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 pipe is gradually cooled and cooled 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 and melt the tube ice. When the tube ice falls, the ice cutting mechanism operates to cut the tube ice to the set size

Advantages and maintenance knowledge of flake ice machine in the seafood industryFlake ice machine is a kind of refrigeration machinery equipment that generates ice by cooling the water through the evaporator by the refrigerant in the refrigeration system. The shape of the generated ice varies according to the principle of the evaporator and the method of the generation process.The advantages of flake ice machine in the seafood industry:The flake ice machine can keep the seafood in an ideal moist state, which can not only prevent the deterioration and decay of the seafood, but also prevent the dehydration and frostbite of the aquatic product. The melted ice water can also rinse the surface of the seafood, remove the bacteria and odors discharged from the seafood, and achieve the ideal fresh-keeping effect. Therefore, a large amount of ice is used in the process of fishing, storage, transportation and processing of marine fisheries.The flake ice machine has high ice efficiency and small cooling loss. The flake ice machine adopts a new vertical inner spiral knife ice-cutting evaporator. When making ice, the water distribution device inside the ice bucket will evenly distribute the water to the inner wall of the ice bucket to quickly freeze. After the ice is formed, it will be cut by the spiral ice knife. When the ice falls, the evaporator surface is allowed to be used, and the efficiency of the ice maker is improved. The ice flakes produced by the flake ice machine are of good quality and dry without sticking. The flake ice produced by the vertical evaporator of the automatic flake ice machine is dry, irregular flake ice with a thickness of 1-2 mm, and has good fluidity.The flake ice machine has a simple structure and a small footprint. Flake ice machines include fresh water type, sea water type, self-contained cold source, user-provided cold source, with ice storage and other series. The daily ice capacity ranges from 500kg to 50 tons/24h and other specifications. The user can choose the suitable model according to the occasion of use and the water quality used. Compared with the traditional ice maker, it has a smaller footprint and lower operating costs.Common sense of maintenance of flake ice machine:1. In order to ensure the quality of ice, we should pay attention to:Do not store anything in the storage bin, keep the refrigerator door closed, and keep the ice shovel clean. When cleaning around the machine, do not allow dust to enter the flake ice machine through the vents, and do not accumulate cargo or other debris near the air-cooled condenser. If the ice maker is to be used, it must be operated in a well-ventilated environment.2. To avoid damage to the machine, please pay attention to the following:Do not block the water source when the flake ice machine is running; be careful when opening and closing the refrigerator door, do not kick or slam the door; do not accumulate any objects around the refrigerator, so as not to hinder ventilation and deteriorate the sanitary condition. Turn it on when it is turned on for the first time or when it has not been used for a long time; before running the compressor, it is necessary to energize the compressor heater for 3-5 hours before running the ice maker. It is forbidden to expose the refrigerator box to a place with high air humidity, and it cannot be left open for a long time. High humidity may cause the PLC control system and touch screen circuit board to burn out; when the ice maker is not used for a long time, please supply power to the control system of the electric control box on time to ensure the accuracy of the internal time of the control system.3. Regular cleaning and protection:Users can perform regular protection according to the local water quality and environmental conditions; in order to ensure the good performance and hygiene of the ice maker, please regularly (about one month) scrub the inner wall of the storage box with a detergent diluted with warm water; after cleaning, thoroughly scrub with liquid algae On the surface, use a soft cloth dipped in stainless steel special detergent to clean the chassis and main body; pay close attention to the cleaning of the water system, which should be cleaned at least twice a year; it is recommended to use detergent to thoroughly remove mineral deposits and precipitated scale; regularly check the cooling water circuit and outdoor cooling towers to ensure that the cooling water circuit is not blocked and to prevent debris from entering the tank at the bottom of the cooling tower.

The flake ice machine is a high-efficiency new ice-making unit developed for the requirements of ice for refrigeration, fresh-keeping and cooling operations. The unit adopts an integrated overall design and is suitable for a wide range of applications such as fishery food processing, meat food processing, supermarket logistics, water conservancy and hydropower, concrete cooling in construction projects, etc. It has the characteristics of forming agglomerate, simple and convenient use, energy saving and environmental protection, and it can make ice when it is connected to electricity. The flake ice machine is made of stainless steel and anti-corrosion alloy aluminum, with a service life of more than 10 years. The whole process is intelligently controlled, and no personnel operation is required.Importance of salting commercial flake ice machines:Why add salt ice machineThe flake ice machine is divided into fresh water flake ice machine and sea water flake ice machine according to the water source. But the fresh water ice flake machine also adds a certain proportion of salt water, which is far lower than the concentration of sea water. The purpose of adding salt is to make the borneol easier to form, improve the quality of the borneol, make the borneol more suitable size, be more visually pleasing, fall off more easily, protect the equipment, and consume less electricity. If no salt is added, the ice cap will have a chance to screech.How to add saltPress the start/stop button to start the Borneol machine, add salt according to the above-mentioned proportion of salt, then fill the brine bucket with brine and mix well, then pump the brine into the liquid pipeline of the brine bucket.Salt and precautionsAfter adding the salt, observe the operation of the ice flake machine, the size of the ice flakes and the ice cubes. If the ice flakes produced by the ice maker are found to be relatively broken, the ice maker is accompanied by a screeching sound of ice being cut with an ice blade, indicating that salt water is not being added to the tank. A common problem is air in the inlet and outlet pipes, which affects the accuracy of the salt pump. At this time, the air should be out of the pipeline. The correct way is: the nozzle of the salt pump outlet pipeline inhales the air. Until you feel the salt water in your mouth, then watch the salt water pump for drips. If there are water droplets, this is normal. Then insert the brine pump outlet tube into the tank.The principle of commercial flake ice machine:The ice-making water of the flake ice machine needs to be salted, and the pump is automatically adjusted according to the amount of ice-making. The main body of the flake ice machine is divided into two cavity inner disks with a certain density of copper tubes. The technical term is called refrigeration.The outer cavity is a very regular round stainless steel. The distance between a three-blade scraper and the inner wall can be adjusted by itself, generally 3 mm. There are several groups of evenly distributed copper nozzles above the ice blade. When the pump is turned on, the plunger pump passes through several filters. The brine is evenly sprayed into the surface of the inner cavity, and then the cooling surface of the outer cavity instantly forms an ice surface with a thickness of 3 mm. Under the action of the rotating ice blade, the newly made ice is broken into small pieces and falls into the storage room.

The same is the Nissan 1 ton ice machine. The price of the Nissan 1 ton tube ice machine is twice the price of the Nissan 1 ton flake ice machine. Why is the tube ice machine so much more expensive than the flake ice machine? The principle of ice making is somewhat different. The configuration of the flake ice machine is relatively simple. There is no de-icing system, and the ice system of the tube ice machine is much more complicated.1. Differences in ice-making principles lead to large price differencesThe ice produced by the flake ice machine has a rotating ice blade to roll and scrape the ice, and then transfer it into and out of the ice storage.The prepared ice does not need to be de-iced, eliminating the need for a de-icing system. Flake ice machines are naturally cheaper than tube ice machines.The ice produced by the tube ice machine needs to be de-iced. With an additional de-icing system and many accessories and protection devices, the price is naturally much more expensive.econd, the difference of the evaporatorThe flake ice machine evaporator technology is more mature, the structure is relatively simple, the flake ice machine is cheaper and more favored by the market, and the production and processing cost of the flake ice machine is lower.The structure of the evaporator of the tube ice machine is more complicated, and the production cycle is also longer.3. Ice machine configuration and power differenceThe same is a 1-ton ice machine, the power of the flake ice machine is 4.6kw, and the cooling capacity is 5.6kw. The tube ice machine needs 5.4kw and the cooling capacity is 8.1kw.Flake ice machines generally use Danfoss/Copeland scroll compressors. Tube ice machines, on the other hand, require a BITZER/Rifconn piston compressor.Tube ice machines require larger storage tanks, oil separators, oil storage tanks, solenoid valves, and complicated piping.To sum up, the tube ice machine is more expensive than the flake ice machine, mainly because the cost of the tube ice machine is much higher than that of the flake ice machine.
