ABSTRACT:
A channel block ice making system includes a plurality of elongated channels and an associated refrigeration system for supplying coolant to the walls of the channels to form long, heavy channel blocks of ice. Water is recirculated from one end of said channels to the other end thereof, and after the channel blocks of ice are solidly frozen, the excess water including salts and the like is drained off, the outer surfaces of the channel blocks of ice are warmed, and they are advanced so that the ends of the blocks of ice protrude from the ends of the channels, where standard size blocks of ice are cut off. Fins on the sides of the channels score the blocks of ice so that the standard size blocks may be later automatically broken into smaller blocks and packaged. A door or gate is provided for retaining water within the channels during the freezing process, and for permitting subsequent easy removal of the ice.
