Dorian Drake International Offers Vogt Ice Machines for Automatic Ice Production System Projects

White Plains, New York (October 21, 2025) – Dorian Drake International Inc. has begun supplying Vogt Ice, a prominent U.S. manufacturer of automatic ice production systems, for industrial and commercial projects in international markets outside North America. The company is authorized to represent Vogt’s line of ice machines for global projects.

Vogt Ice designs and manufactures high-capacity ice machines capable of producing anywhere from 1 to 125 tons of ice per day, delivering engineered solutions that combine industrial durability and energy efficiency. Their product categories include packaged (all-in-one / plug-and-play) units, ammonia low-side units, non-ammonia low-side units, including the HFO series and others with low global warming potential refrigerants. Dorian Drake will concentrate its efforts on projects where ice production needs fall within the 1 to 5 ton per day range.

Among Vogt’s flagship offerings is the HFO10 Series, a mid-size Tube-Ice machine delivering 10 tons/day, using HFO refrigerants with low GWP and zero ozone depletion potential. It offers multiple configurations for cooling (water-cooled or remote air-cooled) and includes new display and connectivity features.

“At Vogt Ice, our mission is to provide ice production systems that set the standard for reliability, energy efficiency, and long-term durability,” said John Whitmer, Director of Sales Management at Vogt Ice. “By working with Dorian Drake, we can reach new global customers and ensure our equipment supports industries that depend on highly-reliable and durable ice production solutions.”
