Abstract
The object of the invention is to provide an ice-making machine having an eccentric driving means and features of reduced wear and tear due to the movement of rotating rods, the machine being composed so that a plurality of heat transfer pipes and rotating rods which rotate inside the heat transfer pipes are disposed in a shell , liquid to be cooled is supplied to the inside and refrigerant to the outside of the heat transfer pipes respectively, the liquid to be cooled is cooled so as to form ice crystal on the inside surfaces of the heat transfer pipes , the ice is scraped by the rotating rods and taken out as ice grains together with the liquid to be cooled, the rotating rods being passed through the holes provided on a driving plate which is connected with a driving shaft by the medium of a eccentric drive means or to be revolved to the effect that the rods are revolved by the revolving of the driving plate while rotating in the holes
