ABSTRACT:
An auger type ice making machine having an evaporator housing vertically arranged above an ice storage bin, an auger mounted for rotary movement within the evaporator housing, an electric motor in drive connection with the auger, a compressor motor in drive connection with a compressor, an ice discharge duct provided on an upper end of the evaporator housing, an upstanding tubular delivery chute having an upper end connected to the discharge duct and a lower end in open communication into the storage bin, a movable detection plate provided within the upper end of the delivery chute to be moved by abutment with pieces of hard ice accumulated in the delivery chute, and an electric control apparatus for activating the motors when the detection plate is retained in an initial position and for deactivating the motors after lapse of a predetermined time when the detection plate has been moved from the initial position, the predetermined time being determined to be shorter than a time for which a space between the discharge duct and the detection plate is filled with the pieces of hard ice discharged from the duct after movement of the detection plate.
