The Ice Making Process
fractional freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and
has less dissolved solids than the water it is produced
from. This is accomplished by running water over the cold
evaporator plate which gradually freezes
leaving the
dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water to provide
clear ice.
sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter
cutter’s heated
wires. The water containing the dissolved minerals is
drained after each freezing cycle. Fresh water enters the
machine for the next ice making cycle.
