ABSTRACT:
An apparatus or method for automatically producing ice vessels. A male die 21 is provided opposite to a female die 11. A bottom surface of the female die 11 is formed with a through-hole 15, in which is provided a reciprocating body 17. The body 17 is capable of being raised or lowered by cylinder 18. Above one side of the female die 11 is provided a chute box 31 having an outlet port 32 facing the female die 11. Above the other side of the female die 11 is provided carrier arms 41 movable toward or away from the female die 11. An ice pieces equalizer 28 is provided above the female die 11. Ice pieces I are accommodated into the female die 11 with the body 17 protruding from the bottom surface thereof. Then, the body 17 is lowered to form a sinking. After that, an ice vessel is molded by depressing the male die 21. The body 17 is raised again for removal of the molded ice vessel A. Owing to the equalizer 28, surplus amount of ice pieces in the female die 11 are removed prior to molding.
