Flake Ice Makers (FGS) produce ice in the form of flakes.
They must be incorporated into a machine or refrigeration system.
Continuous water feeding is required.
In this type of appliance, the ice forms on a fixed vertical cylindrical wall (the evaporator cylinder) before being mechanically removed by an icebreaker that runs along the wall.
All of the water that enters the appliance is transformed into ice on the inside.
Ice production and distribution are continuous.
The ice comes out of a hole on the base of the appliance.
