Embodiment Construction

[0019]Referring to the drawings, an evaporator roller 1 in a housing pan 5 that also serves as a nebulization housing is mounted on a support structure of a base frame 4 and side walls 9. A geared motor 6 and a rotary distributor 7 for supplying a coolant is provided to drive the evaporator roller 1.

[0020]Nozzles 8 are arranged to feed water and air.

[0021]A scraper blade 2 and a doctor blade 3 for smoothing the spray film act on the evaporator roller 1.

[0022]In operation, a coolant is conducted through the rotary distributor 7 in the evaporator roller 1 to cool it. The roller 1 is driven by the geared motor 6 so that it rotates during operation. Suitably, the evaporator roller 1 rotates in the range of 10 to 50 rpm.

[0023]Water and air are sprayed in the housing pan 5 onto the roller 1 through the nozzles 8 (water nozzles and / or two-substance nozzles). The snow layer forming on the roller 1 is smoothed with the doctor blade 3 and scraped off by the scraper blade 2 positioned near the...

Abstract

A snow-making apparatus has a housing, an evaporator roller rotatable in the housing, and a rotary distributor connected to the roller for circulating a coolant through the evaporator roller and thereby cooling the roller. Nozzles on the housing project a mixture of water and air at the evaporator roller such that the liquid freezes into a layer of ice crystals on the roller. A doctor blade smooths the layer of ice crystal on the rotating roller, and a scraper blade scrapes the ice crystals off the roller.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a snow-making apparatus.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The snow made by known such apparatus is “flake ice” that, however, is not or is only partially suitable for some applications, for example, for the cooling of the human body after a sauna visit.[0003]Such an apparatus is described, for example, in DE 10 2008 029695, WO 1996 / 035913 [U.S. Pat. No. 5,623,831], DE 940 227, and U.S. Pat. No. 277,797.[0004]This flake ice is a technically manufactured form of ice. Flake ice consists of individual ice flakes with an irregular, shard-like, slightly wavy shape. The ice flakes are 1 to 2 mm thick and have a temperature of about −7° C.[0005]Flake ice can be used to cool food, in particular fish, or to make food.[0006]When manufacturing with such a flake ice machine water is filled, for example, into a cylindrical container, in which a stainless steel roller is located and the wall of which is cooled via a strong cooling machine...
