Abstract
An extrusion head where continuous formation of crushed ice is formed by radially extending cutters which notch the ice rods as the rods move from the channels formed by externally protruding bosses. The extrusion head breaks ice into uniformly shaped pieces. The extrusion head has no moving parts and is easily retrofitted onto existing screw-type continuous crushed ice making machines.
