Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1602887A2] A method for producing ice crystals in an aqueous fluid has a double walled cooling cylinder (2, 3) with a rotor with radial scrapers to remove ice crystals formed on the inner wall of the chamber. The rotor drive (17) is located through the top flange of the chamber via an elastic seal (20) and is connected to the rotor via a claw coupling (14, 15) with one part (15) connected to the drive and the other part to the rotor. The coupling accommodates any non circular movements of the rotor and replaces costly bearings.
