1. Introduction
Vogt Ice, LLC
A Brief History of Our Company. Henry Vogt Machine Co. was founded as a small machine shop
in Louisville, Kentucky in 1880. Today, Vogt 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 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 every Tube-Ice®machine. 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 has been proven over and over again, in
a network of varied types of installations throughout the world.
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 provided you install, maintain, and service it
properly. It is evidence of our desire to deliver to you “the finest ice-making unit ever made.”
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].

Important Safety Notice. This information is intended for use by individuals possessing adequate
backgrounds in electrical, refrigeration and mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair major
equipment may result in personal injury and/or 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. It is important that personnel understand the properties of this refrigerant and that they
be thoroughly trained in safe practices for its use and handling. Refer to the enclosed Safety Data
Sheet in Appendix A.
Safety Symbols & What They Mean. Prior to installation or operation of the Tube-Ice®machine,
please read this manual. Are you familiar with the installation, start-up, and operation of a Tube-Ice®
machine? Before you operate, adjust or service this machine, you should read this manual, understand
the operation of this machine, and be aware of possible dangers.
These safety symbols will alert you
when special care is needed.
Please heed them.
! DANGER !
Indicates an immediate hazard and that special precautions
are necessary to avoid severe personal injury or death.
! DANGER !
! WARNING !
Indicates a strong possibility of a hazard and that an
unsafe practice could result in severe personal injury.
! WARNING !
! CAUTION !
Means hazards or unsafe practices could result
in personal injury or product or property damage.
! CAUTION !

Special Precautions to Be Observed When Charging Refrigeration Systems. Only technically-
qualified persons, experienced and knowledgeable in the handling of R-404A 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 R-404A refrigerant. See “Material
Safety Data Sheet”, MSDS Code No. DU005612 in Appendix A.
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 refrigerant when the
gauge pressure is 25 pounds orless, 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, excessive or 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 120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 weighed continuously 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
! CAUTION !
Only service personnel experienced in refrigeration and
qualified to work on high amperage electrical equipment should
be allowed to install or service this Tube-Icemachine.
Eye protection should be worn by all personnel
working on or around the Tube-Icemachine.
It is very important that you are familiar with and adhere to
all local, state, and federal, etc. ordinances and laws regarding
the handling, storing, and use of refrigerants.
! CAUTION !
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 Vogt Ice, LLC can void the machine’s warranty. You should also notify your
Vogt distributor or the factory.
Description of Machine. A low side Tube-Icemachine is a remote ice producing plant requiring
refrigerant suction connection, refrigerant liquid connection, thaw gas connection, make-up water
supply, electrical connection, and the proper refrigerant charge.
The machine has been partially factory tested prior to shipment and will require adjustment to meet
the high side (condensing unit) operating conditions. See “Start-up and Operation”for the correct
setting of the controls.
After factory pressure testing of the machine, the machine is evacuated and charged with nitrogen gas
pressure for shipment. This prevents air or moisture from entering the system during transit. There
should be a positive pressure (20-25 psig) indicated on the control panel gages when the machine is
received. The machine has been cleaned with ice machine cleaner and flushed so that the machine is
ready for ice production.
Safety Tags and Labels. Be sure to read and adhere to all special tags and labels attached to valves
or applied to various areas of the machine. They provide important information necessary for safe and
efficient operation of your equipment.
The machine is available in two different tube sizes for producing ice: 1 1/8” OD x 1” long, or 1 3/8”
OD x 1” long. The ice is cut to length by a rotating breaker type cutter. Ice can be produced up to 1
1/2” long by modifying the spacers under the adapter plates (see Chapter 10, “Ice Length” for
modifying instructions). Crushed ice is also available by modifying the cutter and making minor
adjustments to the machine (see Chapter 10, “Crushed Ice”).
