Main Components of an Industrial Tube Ice Machine

Industrial Compressor: The compressor is matched to the required tube ice production capacity, refrigeration load and condenser configuration. Kendall can configure internationally recognized compressor brands according to project requirements.
Condenser Configuration: Air-cooled, water-cooled or evaporative condensing systems can be selected according to tube ice machine capacity, ambient temperature, available water supply and project conditions.

Refrigerant Flow Control: The thermal expansion valve controls refrigerant flow according to refrigeration load to help maintain stable evaporator temperature and consistent tube ice formation.
Tube Ice Evaporator: Water circulates inside the vertical ice-making tubes and freezes against the cooled tube surfaces to form cylindrical ice. Evaporator configuration is matched to production capacity and required tube ice dimensions.

Internal Ice-Making Structure: The vertical tube arrangement is designed for uniform water circulation, heat transfer and consistent tube ice formation during continuous production cycles.
Tube Ice Cutting System: Finished tube ice is mechanically cut after harvesting. Kendall can adjust the cutting mechanism according to required tube ice length for beverage, packaging or wholesale ice applications.

Stainless Steel Ice-Making Tubes: Stainless-steel tube components provide corrosion resistance and are suitable for repeated ice-making and defrost cycles.
Ice Outlet: Harvested and cut tube ice is discharged through the outlet for transfer to storage, conveying or packaging equipment, supporting continuous commercial tube ice production.

Automatic Control System: PLC-based control can manage ice making, harvesting and equipment operating status while supporting fault monitoring and easier daily operation.

Key Features of Kendall Tube Ice Machines

1–5 Tons/Day Tube Ice Production: Current Kendall industrial tube ice machine models cover capacities from 1 to 5 tons per 24 hours, supporting different commercial ice production scales.

22 / 28 / 35 mm Tube Ice Options: Available tube ice diameters include 22 mm, 28 mm and 35 mm, allowing buyers to match ice dimensions to beverage, packaged ice and wholesale market requirements.

Adjustable Tube Ice Length: Ice cutting length can be adjusted according to the required finished ice specification, packaging format and target market.

Automatic Ice Making & Cutting: The refrigeration, ice harvesting and cutting systems work together to support continuous commercial tube ice production and reduce routine manual operation.

Custom Refrigeration Configuration: Compressor brand, condensing method, refrigerant, voltage and control configuration can be customized according to destination-country standards and site conditions.

Tube Ice Plant Integration: For commercial ice businesses, the tube ice machine can be integrated with supporting systems such as water treatment, ice storage and ice conveying according to project requirements.

Ice Cutting Length: Adjustable according to project requirements.

Note: Actual tube ice output may vary with ambient temperature, inlet water temperature, condenser configuration and operating conditions. Please provide your project location, water conditions and daily ice demand for accurate model configuration.

Recommended data to add after technical confirmation: cooling method for each model, rated ambient temperature, rated inlet water temperature, power supply, compressor model and evaporator material.

Applications of Industrial Tube Ice Machines

Packaged Edible Ice

Uniform tube ice is suitable for bagged ice, retail ice and commercial ice distribution. Different tube diameters allow packaged ice producers to match finished ice specifications to local market demand.

Beverage & Hospitality

Clear, dense and slow-melting tube ice is suitable for beverage chains, hotels, restaurants, bars, resorts and catering businesses requiring consistent commercial ice supply.

Commercial Ice Plants

Kendall 1–5 tons/day commercial tube ice machines are suitable for new local ice businesses and existing ice plants expanding production capacity.

Supermarkets & Convenience Stores

Tube ice can be produced for packaged retail ice, beverage counters and centralized commercial ice supply for supermarket and convenience-store operations.

Ice Wholesale & Distribution

A tube ice making machine can be combined with ice storage and conveying systems for wholesale ice production and regional distribution.

Seafood & Fresh Food Cooling

Tube ice can also be used for selected seafood and fresh-food cooling applications where dense, relatively slow-melting ice and convenient handling are preferred.

Food Processing

Tube ice can support food handling and process cooling applications where standardized, easy-to-handle ice is required.
