RS100 and RS150
HOW IT WORKS
The ice is stored in a hopper, and the hopper is
sloped towards the front. At the front there is an
angled rotor: when that rotor turns, it scoops ice
up, lifts it to the top of the ice chute and drops it
through that chute into the user's container.

Below the hopper is a cold plate (a block of
aluminum with several circuits of stainless steel
tubing molded within it). Ice from the hopper falls
through slots in the bottom onto the top of the cold
plate. Ice is dispersed across the cold plate
because the cold plate is in the dispenser at an
angle: the ice falls on the high end and slides
down.
