1. Introduction
Henry Vogt Machine Co.
A Brief History Of Our Company. Henry Vogt Machine Co. was founded as a small
machine shop in Louisville, Kentucky in 1880. Today, Vogt Tube Ice, LLC is one of the
world’s leading producers of ice-making equipment.
In 1938, Vogt built the first Tube-Ice®machine and revolutionized the ice-making industry.
Our first “sized-ice” machine quickly replaced the old can-ice plants, which required much
hard labor and large amounts of floor space for freezing, cutting, and crushing ice by hand.
Vogt Energy-Saving Tube-Ice Machines Are Cost Effective. Today, Vogt Tube-Ice®
machines enjoy a well-earned reputation as the most energy efficient, dependable ice-making
equipment in the world.
Using as little as one-half to one-third the energy required by competitors’ ice makers, Tube-
Ice®machines produce the same amount of ice--in restaurants, sports arenas, packing plants,
and wholesale operations around the globe--at great savings.
In addition, Tube-Ice®machines are renowned for their long life, giving many customers more
than 35 years of dependable service. Ask someone who owns one.
Preview. All the skill in engineering and fabrication that we’ve learned in over a century of
experience is reflected in the HEC model Tube-Ice®machines. Since Vogt introduced Tube-
Ice®machines in 1938, the process of making Tube-Ice®ice has been widely recognized as the
most economical means of production. The machine’s economic and reliable operation have
been proven over and over again, in a network of varied types of installations throughout the
world.
Furnished with your machine is the Certificate Of Test--the report of operating data which is a
record of the unit’s satisfactory operation at our factory test floor. It is evidence of our desire
to deliver to you “the finest ice-making unit ever made.”
This manual is designed to assist you in the installation, start-up, and maintenance of your
unit. Your Tube-Ice®machine will give you a lifetime of service when you install it, maintain
it, and service it properly.
Please read your manual carefully before attempting installation, operation, or servicing of this
professionally-designed piece of equipment. Also, make sure the Warranty Registration/Start-
up Report is completed and returned.
If you have additional questions, please call your distributor. Also, feel free to phone the
factory direct at [phone] or toll free (800) 853-VOGT.

Important Safety Notice. This information is intended for use by individuals possessing
adequate backgrounds of electrical, refrigeration and mechanical experience. Any attempt to
repair major equipment may result in personal injury and property damage. The manufacturer
or seller cannot be responsible for the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume any
liability in connection with its use.
Special Precautions To Be Observed When Charging Refrigeration Systems. Only
technically-qualified persons, experienced and knowledgeable in the handling of refrigerant
and operation of refrigeration systems, should perform the operations described in this
manual. All local, federal, and EPA regulations must be strictly adhered to when handling
refrigerants.
If a refrigeration system is being charged from refrigerant cylinders, disconnect each cylinder
when empty or when the system is fully charged. A gage should be installed in the charging
line to indicate refrigerant cylinder pressure. The cylinder may be considered empty of liquid
HCFC-22 refrigerant when the gauge pressure is 25 pounds or less, and there is no frost on
the cylinder. Close the refrigerant charging valve and cylinder valve before disconnecting the
cylinder. Loosen the union in the refrigerant charging line--carefully to avoid unnecessary and
illegal release of refrigerant into the atmosphere.
! CAUTION !
Immediately close system charging valve at commencement of defrost or thawing cycle
if refrigerant cylinder is connected. Never leave a refrigerant cylinder connected to
system except during charging operation. Failure to observe either of these precautions
can result in transferring refrigerant from the system to the refrigerant cylinder, over-
filling it, and possibly causing the cylinder to rupture because of pressure from
expansion of the liquid refrigerant brought on by an increase in temperature.
! CAUTION !
Always store cylinders containing refrigerant in a cool place. They should never be exposed
to temperatures higher than 125°F and should be stored in a manner to prevent abnormal
mechanical shocks.
Also, transferring refrigerant from a refrigeration system into a cylinder can be very dangerous
and is not recommended.
! CAUTION !
It is not recommended that refrigerant be transferred from a refrigeration system
directly into a cylinder. If such a transfer is made, the refrigerant cylinder must be an
approved, CLEAN cylinder--free of any contaminants or foreign materials--and must
be connected to an approved recovery mechanism with a safety shutoff sensor to assure
contents do not exceed net weight specified by cylinder manufacturer or any applicable
code requirements. ! CAUTION !

2. Receipt Of Your Tube-Ice Machine
! WARNING !
Only service personnel experienced and certified in refrigeration and qualified to work
with high voltage electrical equipment should be allowed to install or work
on this Tube-Ice®machine.
! WARNING !
Inspection. As soon as you receive your machine, inspect it for any damage. If damage is
suspected, note it on the shipper’s papers (i.e., the trucker’s Bill of Lading). Immediately make a
separate written request for inspection by the freight line’s agent. Any repair work or alteration to
the machine without the permission of the Henry Vogt Machine Co. can void the machine’s
warranty.
The machine was shipped with a full charge of HCFC-22 stored in the receiver. Visually check all
lines for mechanical damage. If a leak is suspected, check all joints with a Halogen Leak Detector.
All leaks should be reported to the Henry Vogt Machine Co. to obtain authorization for repair.
Safety Valves. Two safety pressure relief valves are an integral part of the packaged Tube-Ice®
machine. One is located in the low-side of the system on the freezer and one is in the high side of
the system on the receiver. You must vent each of the pressure relief valves to the atmosphere in
such a manner as to comply with local and national codes.
Machine Room. The machine must be located inside a suitable building and must not be subjected
to ambient temperatures below 50?F (10?C) or above 110?F (43.3?C). Heat radiation from other
sources (sunlight, furnaces, condenser, etc.) and unusual air current may affect the operation of the
machine and should be avoided. The electrical components of the Tube-Ice®machine are rated
NEMA 1. Therefore, the machine should not be located in a hazardous area.
Storage (prior to installation or start-up). The machine must not be stored or installed in an area
that is subject to reach temperatures at or above 115?F (46.1?C).
Important Notice. The Warranty/Registration Start-Up Report must be completed and returned to
the Henry Vogt Machine Co. to initiate and assure a full warranty.

3. Installing Your Tube-Ice Machine
Note: A video production is available through your distributor.
Installation Without Bin. Machine must be installed on a drainable condensate drip pan.
Bin Installation. Set the bin on solid, level footing. Inside the bin you will find the four legs. Screw
these legs to the bottom of the bin. You can make MINOR leveling adjustments by using these legs
as leveling screws, as outlined in the manufacturer’s instructions.
Once the ice storage bin is level, the Tube-Ice®machine can be elevated and placed inside the
condensate drip pan on the top of the bin.
FIGURES 3-1 and 3-2 illustrate two methods of lifting & setting Tube-Ice®machine on a level ice
storage bin.
! CAUTION !
The approximate weight of the machine is 1360 pounds. Always use
equipment with adequate load-carrying capacity.
