●Evaporator:
A refrigerated vertical tube filled with water and containing a water seal and auger.
●Auger:
A solid stainless steel double spiral auger, it pushes the ice crystals up to the top of the evaporator.
●Water Seal:
A two part “face” seal, the top half rotating with the auger, the bottom half stationary, the sealing
action being where the two “faces” meet.
●Ice Sweep:
A plastic cap with “fingers”. It revolves with the auger to “sweep” the ice into the ice chute.
●Breaker (Divider):
Where the ice is compressed and much of the extra water is squeezed out of it before it
is discharged into the bin.
●Motor:
A split phase motor that drives the gear reducer.
●Thrust Bearings:
As the ice is pushed up the evaporator, the auger is thrust down, and pressure from the
auger thrust is taken up by this bearing.
