Chapter 1 Introduction
A Brief History of Our Company
The Henry Vogt Machine Co. was founded as a small machine shop in Louisville, Kentucky in 1880. 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.
The Henry Vogt Machine Co. eventually sold its Tube-Ice® division to Vogt Ice, LLC. Since that time, Vogt Ice, LLC
acquired Turbo Refrigeration® in 1989, a company which has become a market leader of plate ice equipment.
With the strong history of these two brands, Vogt Ice, LLC carries on the tradition as one of the world’s leading
producers of ice-making equipment.
Vogt Energy-Savings Tube-Ice® Machines
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’ icemakers, 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 have learned in over a century of experience is reflected in the BP360.

Important Safety Notice
This information is intended for use by individuals possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical, hydraulic 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.

1-2
This is an automatic machine. Motors and hydraulic rams may start without warning. Check that all electrical service is
disconnected and locked out before attempting to work on the unit.
Never open control panels without first observing “lock out and tag out” procedures on the electrical service.
This machine operates under high oil pressure. When servicing hydraulic lines, relieve the system pressure before
opening any lines. Always keep the area around the machine clean of hydraulic fluids.
Never operate the machine without the safety guards that have been provided. Covers and hoppers to shield operators
from the hydraulic cylinders and ice cut-off slide have been provided from the manufacturer.
Never attempt to adjust the ice cut-off slide while the machine is in operation.
Any conveyors associated with the operation of the machine must be sufficiently guarded to prevent injury.

Chapter 2 Receipt of Your Vogt Ice Machine
! WARNING !
Only service personnel experienced in hydraulic system operation
and qualified to work with high voltage electrical equipment
should be allowed to install or to work on this 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 Vogt Ice, LLC can void the machine’s warranty.
The machine was shipped with a full tank of ISO 32 hydraulic fluid. Visually check all lines for mechanical damage. If a
leak is suspected, contact the Vogt Ice, LLC service department to obtain authorization for repair.
The machine also contains a series of limit switches, shown in the P&ID in Section 4. Visually check that the switches are
intact and were not damaged during shipping. If damage is suspected, contact the Vogt Ice, LLC service department to
obtain authorization for repair.
! CAUTION !
The approximate weight of the machine is 2400 lbs.
Use only the appropriate equipment with adequate
loading capacity to move and install the machine.
! CAUTION !
Safety Valves
This machine has been provided with pressure safety valves that are installed in the hydraulic system to prevent over-
pressurization. In the event that these valves open, the excess fluid pressure will be vented into the hydraulic reservoir,
which is constantly at atmospheric pressure. These safety valves have been preset by the factory. Do not adjust them.
Machine Room
The machine must be located inside of a suitable building, fully protected from outside elements. It was designed to be
operated between 38°F and 100°F. Heat from other sources (sunlight, furnaces, condensers, etc.) and unusual air
currents may affect the operation or life cycle of the machine and should be avoided. It is not capable of operating in
cold rooms, freezers, or other locations where the ambient temperature can drop below 38°F. Ambient temperatures in
excess of 100°F can be detrimental to the hydraulic system, as it may be unable to cool the oil sufficiently.
Electrical components are rated NEMA 1, and should not be located in a hazardous area or sprayed with water. The
machine should be installed on a drainable drip pan or in an area where water will not stand, but readily drain away
from the machine. See Space Diagrams, Figure 3thru Figure 5, for clearances and utility connections. Ambient
temperatures in excess of 100°F can be detrimental to the electrical devices and control equipment.
