ABSTRACT:
An auger-type ice maker comprises partitions 16 projectingly provided on the outer periphery of a pressing head 9 which has been inserted and fixed to the upper portion of an ice-making cylinder 1, wherein fixed blades 25 are formed at the lower portion of the partitions 16 so as to be offset in the radial direction, and wherein the tip of the inner circumference side portion 20a thereof is situated above the greater diameter portion of the auger 6 provided with a spiral blade 5. In the above construction, the offset corner portion 20c is provided with a curvature. Accordingly, ice can be prevented from being compressed to and adhering to the corner portion 20c. Thus, the transporting resistance of ice at the lower portion of the partitions projectingly provided to the outer periphery of the pressing head can be reduced, thereby preventing decreasing in ice-making capabilities and abnormal sounds or vibrations being emitted owing to ice jamming occurring.
