Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus for producing flake ice from a liquid. Said apparatus comprises a stationary, static evaporator (1, 31, 61) that has the shape of a cylinder. At least one cooling medium duct (64, 66, 68) is arranged inside the evaporator. A cooling medium inlet (5, 35, 62) and a cooling medium outlet (6, 36, 63) on one or both faces of the evaporator (1, 31, 61) are used for feeding and discharging the cooling medium to and from the evaporator. The liquid that is to be frozen is applied to the external face of the jacket (2, 32, 67) of the evaporator (1, 31, 61) by means of an application device (8, 38, 69) extending along the external face of the jacket (2, 32, 67). The ice formed on the surface of the evaporator (1, 31, 61) is removed using an ice removing device (11, 41, 72). A drive unit (12, 42, 71) is used for rotating the ice removing device (11, 41, 72) around the external face of the evaporator (1, 31, 61).
