Vogt® Tube-Ice® Machines are the most energy efficient ice makers available. Independent tests have shown Vogt Tube-Ice Machines to be two to three times more efficient than some other competitive ice makers. In a very short time, the energy savings alone may pay for the entire cost of the new Vogt Tube-Ice Machine installation. Refer to the chart to the left and compare the current manufacturing cost to the cost of making ice with Vogt as your ice maker. Vogt sets the standards of quality against which all other ice makers are measured. Vogt discovered long ago that ice makers equipped with light, inexpensive parts break down more often, resulting in excessive maintenance and downtime. Therefore, Vogt craftsmen use only the finest materials and components available to manufacture the quality Vogt Tube-Ice machines. No other ice machine operates as trouble-free and with less maintenance than a Vogt. No other icemaker last as long as a Vogt Tube-Ice Machine. All fabrication takes place in Vogt’s modern production facility where components are built heavy-duty to ensure durability and long service life. Today, it is common to find 30-year-old Tube-Ice machines in daily operation. Vogt Tube-Ice machines produce the ice that your customers desire. Tube-Ice is available in three different sizes, 7/8", 1-1/8", or 1 3/8" diameter; each sized approximately 1" long. Vogt Tube-Ice provides you with the flexibility you need to meet the demands of your particular market, while preserving the integrity of a quality cube-type product. Since Vogt Tube-Ice machines produce a sized product with very little chips, there is little need to employ expensive ice screening & sizing equipment. In addition, since very little, if any, chips and fines are separated and disposed of, more usable ice is preserved for the bag. At AIS, we have employed Vogt Tube-Ice Machines in our ice systems for over 30 Years. We have designed hundreds of both industrial and commercial ice systems, not only for the packaged ice industry, but also for chemical companies, bakeries, fisheries, poultry processors, catering companies and airlines. They range in size from three-ton single machine facilities to multi-unit installations will in excess of 500 ton per day capacities. Nobody has more knowledge of Vogt Tube-Ice machines and what if takes to achieve their maximum system efficiency than AIS. At AIS we have developed hundreds of Ice Plants in more than 60 countries worldwide. Not only do we have experience in a great number of international markets but we understand the logistics of administrating the complexities of international projects. Our commitment to the international marketplace has helped to extend the Vogt and AIS partnership of quality worldwide. At AIS, we custom-engineer every ice manufacturing and processing system specifically for its unique application. All of our computer-designed Vogt Tube-Ice Systems are designed with efficiency, expand-ability and cost effectiveness in mind. All components of our systems are engineered not just to work together but are designed to blend together into a highly synchronized system that reduces the total cost of the finished product. We not only design ice systems especially to meet the particular needs of Vogt Tube-Ice, but we custom-design each system to meet the unique needs of each individual customer. At AIS, we can provide an on-site technician to get your ultra-efficient Tube-Ice Machine running as efficiently and trouble-free as possible. In addition, if your Vogt Tube-Ice Machine does break down, we have the knowledge to get it running as quickly as possible. AIS is a factory-trained Vogt Service Center with over 40 years of field experience with Vogt Tube-Ice Machines.
