<p>Ice cubes are produced in a machine wherein water is distributed in a layer over an inclined freezing plate (14) which is supplied with means for providing cold or heat. Water which is preferably boiled or sterilized is distributed evenly in at least one channel (28) in the longitudinal direction of the inclined freezing plate's (14) bottom plate (29). By means of circulation of a cooling medium in one or more transverse channels (30), arranged at a distance apart, a freezing is effected of ice in the zones over the channels (30) and the gradual build-up of ice cubes at a distance apart and limited by the channels' (28) longitudinal walls (35). On achieving a desired ice cube thickness and a corresponding lowering of the temperature on the bottom plate (29) a heating process is initiated which provides a heating from transverse and/or longitudinal heating zones/channels. This heating causes a loosening of the ice cubes which thereby slide down along the inclined plane, whereupon the supply of heat is stopped and the freezing process is repeated.</p> |
