    (i.e., the trucker’s Bill of Lading). Immediately make a separate written request for inspection by the freight line’s agent. Any repair work or alteration to the machine without the permission of Vogt Ice, LLC can void the machine’s warranty. The machine was shipped with a full tank of ISO 32 hydraulic fluid. Visually check all lines for mechanical damage. If a leak is suspected, contact the Vogt Ice, LLC service department to obtain authorization for repair.
  • Page 11: Storage (Prior To Installation And Start-Up)

    The machine must not be stored in an area that may reach temperatures in excess of 100°F in order to prevent damage to the electrical controls. Vogt Model Nomenclature The machine nameplate is located on the front of the control panel. The model number and machine description are located in the top left hand corner.

    WARNING Important Notice: The Warranty Registration / Start-Up Form must be completed and returned to Vogt Ice, LLC to initiate and to ensure a full warranty. A postage paid envelope is provided or you may fax the report to 1-800-770-8648.
  • Page 13: Ice Supply

    The BP360 is designed to feed ice automatically into the compacting chamber. The machine control panel is supplied with terminals to connect the ice block press to the ice supply system. These terminals allow the BP360 to start and stop the ice supply system based on the operational state of the machine.

    A fused disconnected must be provided near the machine. Connect three (3) phase power to the main contactor for operation of the BP360 motor. The control circuit requires an independent 115V/1/60Hz source. A rotation check of the hydraulic pump motor is required (See Error! Reference source not found.).
  • Page 16: Voltage Imbalance

    Voltage Imbalance Voltage imbalances can cause motors to overheat and fail. The maximum voltage imbalance between any two legs should be no greater than 2%. Example: Supply Voltage = 230-3-60 Voltage Readings: AB = 220 Volts BC = 225 Volts Average = (220 + 225 + 227)/3 = 224 Volts AC = 227 Volts (AB) 224-220 = 4 Volts (Highest Deviation)

  • Page 19: Principle Of Operation

    DANGER The BP360 is designed to produce solid ice blocks continuously at the rate of 360 blocks per hour, provided that a sufficient supply of ice fragments are available. The machine assembly includes a hydraulic pump that operates two (2) horizontally mounted hydraulic cylinders.
  • Page 20 The BP360 is designed to return to a de-energized state in the event of a power failure, or when the machine is shut down. In this condition, the main cylinder is fully extended, and the opposing cylinder is fully retracted. This de- energized state is also maintained if the ice feed supply has been exhausted during operation.
  • Page 21: Chapter 5 Start-Up And Operation

    The photovoltaic sensor in the ice hopper will send a “start” signal to the ice supply system if no ice is present in the hopper. When the hopper is full, the photovoltaic will send a “stop” signal to the ice supply. The BP360 will begin to form the ice block at this time.

    press room, which is above freezing. Care should be taken to empty the supply system of all ice and snow prior to shutting down the machine. Operating Tips • By turning the main power switch to “OFF,” the machine will halt production and return to its de-energized state.
  • Page 23: Chapter 6 Electrical Controls And Functions

    System Controllers Solenoid Valves The electrical system on the BP360 includes three (3) directional valves in the hydraulic system. DV-100 controls the movement of the main hydraulic cylinder and DV-101 controls the movement of the opposing hydraulic cylinder. DV-102 acts as a regeneration circuit valve that returns pressure to the tank when the system is idle. All valves are single solenoid type with a spring return.
  • Page 24: Hydraulic Pressure Switch

    TDR-1, the time delay relay that controls the amount of time that the ice block is held under pressure. Time Delay Relays The BP360 has two (2) time delay relays: TDR-1 and TDR-2. • TDR-1 is an “ON” delay relay that is energized by the hydraulic pressure switch. It holds the compacting pressure on the ice block for a period that is adjustable from 0.1 seconds to 10 seconds.
  • Page 25: Chapter 7 Maintenance

    Cleaning Procedure The BP360 can be cleaned using rags and common machine cleaners and de-greasers. It is not designed for a wash down process using hoses or pressure cleaning equipment. Damage to the motors and electrical circuits will result from a wash down or pressure cleaning process.
