PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device capable of making ice cubes on a larger scale than is possible with known devices.SOLUTION: A device for making ice cubes comprises a supplying device for supplying a liquid substance to at least one elongated mold 1 and a refrigerating device for freezing the liquid substance. At least one mold defines a space for an ice column which is at least substantially closed at least while the liquid substance is being refrigerated. The at least one mold comprises two mold halves 1a and 1b which are movable relative to each other, so that the mold halves can be moved apart once the ice column has been formed. A method for making ice cubes comprises the steps of a) supplying a liquid substance to a mold, b) freezing the liquid substance in the mold, and c) removing the ice cubes thus formed from the mold. The liquid substance is supplied in step a) to a mold comprising an at least substantially closed space. A metering device for ice cubes is also provided. |
