Abstract
An apparatus for continuous freezing of liquids and cutting of the resulting frozen material into discrete pieces. A freezing table is provided with a transfer film for transporting liquid to be frozen across the top surface thereof. Side dams are attached to the freezing table such that the lateral edge surfaces of the traveling film extend upwardly against the adjacent side dams forming a trough. A cutting apparatus receives the frozen slab and first cuts the frozen slab into strips, then cuts the strips into discrete pieces. A plurality of circular saw blades, preferably in two counter-rotating rows, are used to cut the slab into strips, and a guillotine cutter is preferably used to cut the strips into discrete pieces.
