Let’s dive into everything you need to know about the 1 ton/day commercial tube ice machine—and why it’s one of the smartest investments for small to medium-scale commercial ice production.


What Is a 1 Ton/day Commercial Tube Ice Machine?

A 1 ton/day commercial tube ice machine is a fully automated piece of equipment capable of producing 1 ton (1,000 kg) of tube-shaped ice every 24 hours. The ice it generates is transparent, long-lasting, and cylindrical—perfect for drink cooling, seafood preservation, and retail packaging.

Why Choose a 1 Ton/day Commercial Tube Ice Machine?

Perfect Size for Small to Medium Businesses

Unlike industrial-scale systems that take up a lot of space and resources, this model is compact, efficient, and fits seamlessly into kitchens, cold rooms, or back-of-house areas.

Crystal-Clear Tube Ice

Tube ice is favored for its purity and aesthetic appeal. It melts slower than cube ice, which means your customers’ drinks stay cooler for longer—without dilution.

24/7 Operation with Minimal Supervision

The machine is designed for round-the-clock performance. Most models feature automatic water refill, ice cutting, and storage bin integration for hands-off operation.

Energy-Efficient & Cost-Saving

Advanced compressors and smart control panels help you save on electricity without compromising on output or quality.


Common Applications

  • Bars & Nightclubs: For cocktails and mixed drinks that stay colder longer.

  • Seafood & Meat Retail: Keeps products fresh and presentable.

  • Hotels & Restaurants: On-demand ice supply, no more running out during peak hours.

  • Convenience Stores: Sell packaged ice with confidence and consistent quality.

  • Laboratories: Tube ice provides a sterile cooling medium for sensitive specimens.

"I run a mid-sized seafood stall, and the 1 ton/day commercial tube ice machine handles everything from fish display to cold storage. Reliable and super easy to use!"
Eric N., Fish Market Vendor (User Review)

Installation & Maintenance Tips

Space Requirements
Ensure you have adequate ventilation and clearance for airflow. Most 1-ton machines are about the size of a double-door fridge.

Water Quality
Install a water filter to extend machine life and improve ice clarity. Poor water can cause scaling and reduce efficiency.

Routine Cleaning
Wipe down exterior surfaces weekly and follow manufacturer-recommended deep-cleaning cycles every 1–2 months.

Voltage Check
Double-check your local voltage and phase (220V single-phase or 380V three-phase) to avoid compatibility issues.
