ABSTRACT:
An ice crushing and feeding device located below an ice making apparatus including a V-shaped receiving means, an ice conveying mechanism, a speed control device, a crushing mechanism, an ice/chilled water mixing chamber and a feed pump for transferring solid/liquid mixtures. Ice produced by the ice making apparatus is guided by the receiving means into the conveying mechanism which by means of its rotational and pressing actions transfers the ice to the crushing mechanism to be crushed into fragments of a suitable size. The ice fragments are mixed with the chilled water in the mixing chamber at a predetermined proportion. The mixture is then transferred by the feed pump to each ice storage tank.
