Vogt Tube Ice Maker - HFO5 Series Industrial Ice Maker
Vogt Tube Ice Industrial Ice Makers offer a cost effective way to meet the needs of your customers by reducing the need for ice screening and sizing equipment and utilizing a unique process which freezes ice automatically in vertical tubes, thaws the ice, and then cuts it into short cylinders with a hole in the center. The hole is formed during the formation of the ice as a result of the falling film of water freezing inside the vertical tubes. The result is a sized product and more usable ice per bag.
Modern Ice offers the HFO5 Series Tube-Ice machine continues the Vogt tradition of providing long lasting machine reliability, delivered capacity and lower energy cost solutions. This 5 ton of ice per day machine utilizes HFO refrigerants with low GQP and zero ODP. Available as a self contained water-cooled unit or air-cooled remote, the HFO5 will provide you with many years of dependable service. Heavy-duty industrial construction, automatic operation, energy efficiency and the best warranty in the business make the Vogt HFO5 Series the only “clear” choice for your ice making needs.
