The Opal Nugget Icemaker first cools a cylinder below freezing with a refrigerant system. Water partially fills the cylinder and ice forms on the walls. An auger then slowly rotates inside, scraping the ice flakes upward and forcing them through an extruder to form compressed cylinders of nugget ice.
How Opal Works
- 1. How the Opal Nugget Icemaker makes ice 1. The cylinder is cooled below freezing by the refrigerant system. 2. Water partially fills the cylinder. Ice forms on the cylinder walls. 3. The auger slowly rotates, scraping ice flakes upward toward the extruder 4. The scraped ice is forced through the extruder forming cylinders of compressed ice flakes. This is nugget ice.
