ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An ice product is disclosed having improved liquid displacement characteristics and which is of a configuration which provides for splash resistance and resistance to bridging between adjacently stored products. The apparatus and method for producing the improved ice product is disclosed in the form of an ice making machine having one or more com- bination evaporator and ice form assemblies, each of the assem- blies being provided with a plurality of pockets or recesses in which the ice product is formed during a freezing or re- frigeration cycle, the ice products being subsequently dis- charged to an associated storage area during a subsequent harvest cycle. In a preferred construction of the present invention, the combination evaporator and ice form assemblies are arranged in a generally vertical orientation and ice make- up water is communicated to a manifold arrangement disposed above each of the assemblies, which water is intended to cascade over the surfaces of the ice forms and freeze within the pockets or recesses therein. The combination evaporator and ice form assemblies are designed such that a unique heat transfer is effected between the evaporator coils and the water freezing within the ice pockets, whereby substantially symmetrically-shaped ice products are formed within the pockets. Alternative embodiments of the present invention disclose the ice form assemblies being mounted in horizontal and inclined orientations and with the water being supplied thereto by means of associated water spray bars or the like.
