Abstract (en)
An ice making assembly includes a central hub rotatably mounted within a chilled chamber. A mold assembly is attached to the central hub and includes an ice mold that is pivotally coupled to a yoke and defines a mold cavity for receiving water. A drive mechanism rotates the central hub by the following approach: accelerating the central hub until the rotation speed reaches a target speed and periodically reducing the rotation speed of the central hub to a reduced speed before accelerating back to the target speed until an ice billet is formed.
