Air-Cooled Vs. Water Cooled Ice Machines
Two effective way to exhausts the heat from ice making in regular ice machines.
Air Cooling
With the help of internal fans, air can move heat through the condenser coils and release it out at vents. Suitable for commercial machine works in clean, temperature-controlled environments.
Water Cooling
Water runs through the inner pipe to cool down the heat. Available for industrial machine working in various places and applications, such as edible ice, directly contact with food.
Tube Ice Applications
Fisheries & Seafood Transportation
Tube ice plays a crucial role in the fishing industry. It is used for preserving and icing freshly caught fish, ensuring they remain fresh during transportation and storage.
Food Processing & Preservation
Tube ice finds applications in food processing operations, seafood processing, poultry processing, and bakeries. It helps rapidly chill and cool perishable food items, ensuring their freshness and maintaining quality.
Beverage Industry & Bars
Tube ice is widely used in bars, restaurants, hotels, and the beverage industry to chill and preserve a variety of drinks, including soft drinks, cocktails, juices, and alcoholic beverages.
Supermarkets & Grocery Stores
Tube ice is utilized in supermarket displays and grocery stores to keep perishable foods, such as seafood, meat, fruits, and vegetables. It assists in maintaining the necessary low temperatures and preventing spoilage.
Concrete Cooling for Construction
Tube ice is used in construction projects for concrete cooling. When mixed with water, it helps bring down the temperature of the concrete during the mixing and pouring processs.
How to Make Tube Ice ?
1. Set Up the Machine
Install and properly connect the ice tube machine according to the industrial ice maker manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Water Filtration
Connect a reliable water source to the ice machine. It is important to have a water filtration system in place to remove impurities and ensure the production of clean, high-quality tube ice.
3. Start the Machine
Power on the industrial ice machine and set it to the tube ice production mode. The specific steps may vary depending on the machine’s design and controls. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for details on operating your particular machine.
4. Freezing Process
The ice machine will initiate the freezing process. Water will be pumped into the ice molds or tubes within the machine.
5. Harvesting
Once the ice has formed and solidified inside the molds or tubes, the machine will initiate the harvesting process. The ice tubes are then typically dropped into a collection bin.
6. Cutting and Storage
After harvesting, the ice tubes may be cut into desired lengths using a cutting mechanism integrated into the machine. The cut tube ice is collected in an ice storage bin or bin liner to keep it frozen until it is ready for use.
Tube Ice vs Cube Ice
| Category | Tube Ice | Cube Ice |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | Cylindrical or tube-shaped | Cuboidal or square |
| Size | Length varies, typically shorter | Uniform size, various dimensions |
| Cooling | Slower cooling due to thickness | Faster cooling due to surface area |
| Melting | Melts slower due to thickness | Melts faster due to larger surface |
| Aesthetics | May clump together (depending on storage) | More visually appealing |
| Dilution | Melts less and dilutes beverages less | Melts faster and may dilute beverages faster |
| Application | Beverage industry, food preservation, fishing, concrete cooling | Beverage industry, food service, cooling drinks, parties |
