Product Description
Commercial Ice Tube Machine.
INTRODUCTION
Metalex Tube Ice Machines
Metalex tube ice machines are designed to produce solid tubular ice pieces of uniform size with longer shelf life.
In the low side freezer the ice is frozen automatically in the vertical stainless steel tubes. The environment friendly refrigerant Ammonia is circulated in the freezer through an accumulator located by the side of top tank. The hot gas is then passed around the tubes to release the ice downwards by gravity which is cut by a specially designed cutter in pre-determined size of 16, 25 or 36 mm. All surfaces having contact with water or ice are made of stainless steel or other rust resistance materials.
The high side equipment of the plant comprising of Metalex refrigeration compressor, suitable motor, shell & tube condenser and receiver bear Metalex quality stamp for longer trouble free service. The specially designed control panel ensures the automatic working of the machine.
These machines are manufactured as per ASME code for high energy efficiency and low maintenance. The Freezer (Low side components) is mounted on a sturdy steel frame. Applications: Sea Food and Food Processing, Concrete Cooling and Chilling, Dairies and Hatcheries, Chemical and Pharma plants etc.

Diverse Industrial ApplicationsWith its robust 7.5 kW motor and rigid steel frame, the TIM-2000 excels across various industries, including food preservation, beverage cooling, fisheries, healthcare, and chemical manufacturing. Its precise automatic controls and customizable ice dimensions deliver optimal results for demanding environments.
FAQs of Tube Ice Machine:
Q: How does the TIM-2000 tube ice machine operate and control production?
A: The TIM-2000 operates automatically using a PLC-based control system. It can run continuously for 24 hours and features an automatic cut-off for safety. Production parameters, such as ice tube size, are preset and maintained with 1mm accuracy.
Q: What are the benefits of using food-grade stainless steel (SUS304) in construction?
A: Food-grade stainless steel (SUS304) ensures that the ice manufactured is hygienic and safe for applications in food, healthcare, and chemical industries. It also provides excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and easy maintenance.
Q: When is maintenance required, and how accessible are service points?
A: Routine maintenance is simplified with easy access panels, allowing for quick checks and servicing. The central lubrication system and hot gas defrost further reduce maintenance frequency, extending operational periods between service intervals.
Q: Where can the tube ice machine be installed and utilized?
A: This floor-mounted model is suitable for industrial and commercial facilities across food preservation, beverage cooling, fisheries, healthcare, and chemical sectors. Its robust construction and compact design (2100mm x 1600mm x 1800mm) support versatile placement.
Q: What process does the machine use to produce and discharge ice tubes?
A: The machine uses a vertical rotating drum evaporator to form ice tubes. After reaching the desired size, a hot gas defrost mechanism seamlessly releases the ice for collection, maintaining high production efficiency.
Q: What kind of energy efficiency and noise levels can users expect?
A: The TIM-2000 is designed for energy efficiency at a 7.5 kW power rating and operates quietly, maintaining noise levels at or below 68 dB. This combination of low energy consumption and reduced noise makes it ideal for continuous industrial usage.
Q: How is safety ensured during operation?
A: Safety is prioritized with built-in overload protection and water level sensors, reducing operational risks. Automatic shutdown features protect both the machine and users in case of abnormal operation or low water supply.
