Tube Ice Plant By Airon Gas Technologies

Our reputed industry is offering a high quality of Tube Ice Plant. The main part of the Industrial Tube Ice Machinery is the ice generator, a vertical shell-and-tube vessel surrounded by a water tank. Special water distributors on top of each tube control an even, spiral supply of water down the insides of the tubes. Excess water is collected in a tank beneath the ice generator and pumped back up to the tank at the top.

Automatic tube ice machinery performs two main functions: Freezing and Harvesting. These functions are carried out in a continuous cycle and ensure the steady supply of high quality ice at a rate determined by the user.

Tube ice is formed on the inner surface of vertical tubes and is produced in the form of small hollow cylinders of about 50 x 50 mm with a wall thickness of 10 to 12 mm. The tube ice plant arrangement is similar to a shell and tube condenser with the water on the inside of the tubes and the refrigerant (Ammonia) filling the space between the tubes. The machine is operated automatically on a time cycle and the tubes of ice are released by a hot gas defrost process. As the ice drops from the tubes a cutter chops the ice into suitable lengths, nominally 50 mm, but this is adjustable.
