Here I'll show you how I make these large 300lb ice blocks in great detail for all those interested in the gritty details... As a bonus, I'll show you what happens when I don't add the pump in.
The machines used are Clinebell ice machines. You can find out more about this family-owned business at: clinebellequipment.com/

How much(weight) ice made in one big cube and what is the total power consumption for one cube?

Those are some pretty old machines you have there, glad to see they're still running. With that said you shouldn't have to add the metal bracket to hold the chamber walls vertical. We at Clinebell equipment can supply you with new springs, or based on the age of those machines and the freeze rate I highly recommend sending them back to the factory to be refurbished!

Thanks for the reply! Yes, these are old machines, I bought them used from another ice carver and they are treating me well. Good to know about the springs. I replaced them a short bit ago, but they need to be stronger. I'll reach out to you guys the next time I'm shopping for springs. Thanks!

you still work for Clinebell? I'm looking into producing ice like this for my local bar industry. Carving will be a side option.

Why do you make these? Who buys them or who do you sell to?

How there is no haze in the ice?

@iceovation 11 ай бұрын

I'm confident that it's all in the pump! I'm assuming by haze, you mean no air bubbles. Sometimes, there will be a few air bubbles in the ice that give it a haze. I usually see this if I buy ice from another supplier. I would speculate that his happens if there are hesitations with the pump, where the current is either very weak or the pump stops working for a short bit. Some claim that if you don't aim the pump towards the bottom during the first day may collect some air bubbles. I would also theorize that a haze may appear during drastic temperature change commonly experienced during Spring and Fall.

Thanks a lot. Do you ever try if use 2 pumps, is the result wil be more clear? By the way, do you make this ice block machine or buy it?
