FOCUSUN Releases “Installation Guide for Tube Ice Making Systems” to Support Global Customers
FOCUSUN releases’ Installation Guide for Tube Ice Making Systems’ to assist global customers in building reliable and efficient ice making facilities
Shanghai, China – FOCUSUN, a leading global supplier of industrial refrigeration and ice making solutions, announced the release of the latest version of the “Installation Guide for Tube Ice Making Systems”. This comprehensive guide aims to help international customers install tube and full tube ice making machines more accurately, safely, and efficiently. As tube ice plays an increasingly important role in seafood processing, beverage manufacturing, agricultural product cooling, and cold chain logistics, the demand for professional installation guidance is also growing.

For decades, FOCUSUN has been committed to providing tube ice machine technology to customers worldwide. The company is well aware that although the ice maker itself is highly automated, the installation process involves many technical considerations, including structural design, water system, electrical configuration, and environmental conditions. This new guide brings together years of engineering expertise in a structured and easy-to-use reference material format, making it easy for even experienced customers to install tube ice machines.
Clear and professional guidance to help you successfully install a tube ice machine
The guide emphasizes that installing a tube ice machine is not just about connecting a few pipes and wires. On the contrary, it requires careful preparation, reasonable planning, and an understanding of how the various components of the tube ice machine work together to achieve stable ice making. FOCUSUN elaborated on the importance of selecting a suitable installation location, evaluating ground load-bearing capacity, ensuring good ventilation, and arranging sufficient maintenance access. These basic steps have a significant impact on the long-term performance and reliability of the system.
Water supply preparation is another key focus of this guide. Tube ice machines require a stable water source that meets hygiene standards. This guide provides instructions for installing filtration devices, adjusting water pressure, and ensuring stable water flow in evaporation pipes. This is crucial for producing food grade tube ice that is free of scale and pollution.
In addition, this guide also outlines the electrical installation requirements for tube ice making equipment. Customers will receive detailed information regarding voltage specifications, grounding protection, circuit isolation, and overload protection. These instructions aim to comply with various international electrical standards and ensure safety and compliance during the installation process.

Detailed description of key components of tube type ice making equipment
One of the advantages of the FOCUSUN installation guide is its detailed disassembly of various components in a complete tube ice making equipment. This guide explains the installation locations and methods of compressor units, vertical evaporator tubes, condensers, cooling towers (if any), water tanks, water pumps, and ice cutting systems. Each component must be installed correctly to ensure smooth refrigerant circulation, stable ice making, and efficient heat exchange.
This guide also covers practical issues such as vibration absorption, noise control, drainage planning, and insulation protection. These details are crucial for maintaining a stable operating environment, especially in high-capacity devices where tube ice machines operate continuously 24 hours a day.
For customers planning to expand their tube ice making plants in the future, FOCUSUN also provides suggestions on space reservation, modular layout planning, and preparation of utility connections to support future development.
Safety, hygiene, and international compliance standards
Safety is the core content of this guide. FOCUSUN lists the correct installation steps for refrigerant pipelines, high-pressure protection devices, and emergency stop systems. These preventive measures help prevent equipment damage and ensure the safety of personnel during installation and operation.

Hygiene is another important consideration factor. Due to the possibility of direct contact between ice cubes produced by tube ice machines and food and beverages, FOCUSUN places special emphasis on hygienic installation methods, such as using food grade tubing, ensuring the use of corrosion-resistant materials, and following proper cleaning procedures before commissioning. This ensures that the tube type ice making equipment meets the global hygiene standards required by the food production and processing industry.
Debugging and performance optimization
After installation, this guide will guide users to complete the debugging program to verify whether the tube ice machine is operating at its optimal state. The operational steps include testing the water supply, checking refrigerant pressure, monitoring temperature settings, adjusting ice layer thickness, and ensuring smooth operation of the ice collection mechanism.
Debugging is crucial for maximizing production capacity and early detection of installation errors. FOCUSUN’s guidelines provide customers with a clear checklist to ensure stable operation of the tube ice machine from the first day of operation.
Long term maintenance recommendations
The guide also dedicates a chapter to introducing maintenance measures that contribute to long-term reliability. These measures include daily inspections, cleaning plans, lubrication guidelines, water treatment recommendations, and refrigeration system inspections. Proper maintenance can ensure efficient operation of traditional ice making equipment and reduce unexpected shutdowns or performance issues.
Provide knowledge and support to global customers
The release of the “Installation Guide for Tube Ice Making Systems” not only reflects FOCUSUN’s commitment to manufacturing high-quality tube ice machines, but also demonstrates FOCUSUN’s commitment to supporting customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their equipment. By providing professional installation guidance, FOCUSUN helps customers reduce installation errors, shorten debugging time, and improve overall production efficiency.
