Abstract: The apparatus and method disclosed herein relates to an automatic dispenser for dispensing portions of a product such as ice cream from a supply (202) comprising a coiled tubular casing (15) in which the ice cream (10) is encased. The end of the casing is fed into the apparatus and, as the apparatus operates, moves through to the exit. The casing with its encased ice cream is pulled through the apparatus and pinched at uniform intervals by a first pinching mechanism (20 and 20') following which, utilizing a second pinching mechanism (30 and 30'), the casing with its encased ice cream is further pinched to the thickness of only the casing at the same uniform intervals. The casing with the encased ice cream is then drawn past a cutting device (12) which opens the casing (15) so that a portion (14) defined by sequential pinched segments is dispensed and the casing removed by a scrap spool mechanism (44 and 44').

Abstract: A high throughput, short batch cycle commercial ice making machine produces commercial ice which resists melting in convenient sizes for mobile food carts, market produce, or fish displays. The machine introduces super-cooled water, that is in a liquid state while exposed to a temperature below freezing, into a batch of pre-formed hollow molds of one or more horizontally oriented ice forming freezing trays (20, 21) oriented horizontally. Using vapor compression refrigeration, the machine produces a plurality of supercooled ice segments in pockets (36) within the freezing tray. The supercooled ice segments are rapidly subjected to a short, temporary contact with a high heat source from a sleeve (40) integral with the freezing tray compartments, along a peripheral bottom surface of the ice segment accommodating freezing tray molds. The machine rotates the freezing tray containing the batch of ice segments about its horizontally oriented axis to a vertically oriented dump position.
