An electric ice press defining an axial direction, the electric ice press comprising:
- a mold body comprising a first mold segment and a second mold segment, the second mold segment being movable relative to the first mold segment along the axial direction, the first mold segment and the second mold segment defining a mold cavity;
- and
- a motor,
- wherein one or both of the first mold segment and the second mold segment are movable via the motor between a receiving position for receiving an initial ice billet and a sculpted position for reshaping the initial ice billet into a sculpted ice nugget within the mold cavity.
An electric ice press defining an axial direction, the electric ice press comprising:
- a mold body comprising a first mold segment and a second mold segment, the second mold segment being movable relative to the first mold segment along the axial direction, the first mold segment and the second mold segment defining a mold cavity;
- wherein the first mold segment and the second mold segment are selectively removable from the mold body, and
- wherein one or both of the first mold segment and the second mold segment are movable between a receiving position for receiving an initial ice billet and a sculpted position for reshaping the initial ice billet into a sculpted ice nugget within the mold cavity.
