Abstract
An extruder for an ice machine essentially made up of a monoblock body which is configured from a first body essentially joined to a second cylindrical body, hollow as well in the central portion thereof, and that on the lower portion thereof defines a threaded portion for the joining thereof to an ice machine, through a plurality of holes; and wherein, in the central portion of the body coinciding with the central portion of the second body, a plurality of hollows are located in each body, which determine the inlet and the outlet of a series of channels through which the ice passes towards the outlet of the cited extruder, and wherein said hollows have a “kidney” shape with one concave side and another convex one.

- the second cylindrical body has a hollow center,
- the second cylindrical body having a lower portion with a threaded portion for joining to the ice machine,
- the first body includes a plurality of holes for fastening to the ice machine,
- a central portion of said first body coincides with a central portion of the second cylindrical body,
- a first plurality of hollows are located in said first body,
- a second plurality of hollows are located in said second cylindrical body,
- said first plurality of hollows coinciding in location with said second plurality of hollows, and facing each other,
- said first plurality of hollows and said second plurality of hollows having an inlet and an outlet of a series of channels through which ice passes towards the outlet of the extruder, and
- each hollow of said first plurality of hollows and said second plurality of hollows have a “kidney” shape with one concave side and another convex one, and
- ends of said first plurality of hollows and of said second plurality of hollows are chamfered once the ice has passed between the first body and the second cylindrical body.
