Ice Expeller
The molded Delrin expeller blades come out from a central axle that rotates over nylon bearings in the front and rear
parts. Each blade pushes an ice section and withdraws it from the mold. The expeller-propelled extreme is "D" shaped.
The bearings surface is lubricated with silicon grease. See Figure D5.

Water valve set
The water valve is propelled by a solenoid and when activated, leaves the water pass from the feeding line to the ice
mold. The quantity of water is directly proportional to the period during which the valve switch is activated. A washer
inside the water valve maintains a permanent flow with a 2-to 15-kPa feeding line pressures. It will not compensate the
pressures under 2 kPa or over 15 kPa. A caliber 60 screen located in front of the flow washer prevents the pass of
suspicious material. See Figure D6.
