Abstract
The present invention aims to provide an ice shaving machine that can produce a quantity of shaved ice powder without a fuss and that makes less noise. An ice shaving machine has an ice shaving chamber in which is provided a slit that a shaving blade faces, a rotary vane for rotating ice charged into the ice shaving chamber, a motor mechanism for rotating the rotary vane, a rotating hopper that stores the ice in the ice shaving chamber and coaxially rotates with the rotary vane, and an ice stocker that is provided above the rotating hopper and has openings at the lower and upper ends. The rotating hopper has a diameter that is reduced upwards, and the ice stocker coaxially rotates with the rotary vane and the rotating hopper.
