Scotsman Flaked Ice Machines - Manual (Page 14)

Extruded Ice Type - Nugget or Flaked Ice
Models Covered: FM, FME, ND, NDE, NM, NME, NS, NSE, MDT5, MDT6
In these models the ice is made in the usual way but at the top of the evaporator it is
extruded through vertical holes or slots. The bearing retainer, bolted to the top of the
evaporator, has either holes for nugget ice or slots for flaked ice machined into it. As the
soft ice is pushed through the holes or slots, it is compressed into either nugget or
flaked ice. After the ice is extruded, it is forced to the out side, causing the extruded ice
to break off into usable lengths.
