Ice-crusher

An ice-crusher (10) comprising a grinding hole (15) which includes a feeding collar (16) to which a lever (18) is hinged to push ice towards a cutting and/or crushing unit, characterized in that said cutting and/or crushing unit includes at least a rotating disc (23) to which a cutting blade (25) is attached, wherein the distance of said cutting blade (25) from the rotating disc (23) can be set axially by the user in order to break up ice into pieces of different thickness and/or size wherein said cutting and/or crushing unit is driven by a driving shaft (26) which is connected with a manifold motor (34) by means of a belt (39) said motor (34) is positioned horizontally and is staggered relative to the driving shaft (26) to leave room for inserting from outside into an external covering (13) of the device (10) a tool for regulating the thickness of the ground ice in that said driving shaft (26) is locked in its position by a locking ring nut (35), inside of which is provided a thickness regulation means (36) which is integral with said driving shaft (26) and a thickness regulation bush (37) which is adjacent to the cutting and/or crushing unit, so that an operator can act on said thickness regulation means (36) with a regulation key from outside the covering (13) to regulate axially the distance of the rotating disc (23) from the cutting blade (25).
