ICE MAKING UNIT FOR FLOW-DOWN TYPE ICE-MAKING MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To receive ice making water scattered during ice making by a separator to guide the ice making water to an ice making water tank and prevent fixation of the separator in an ice discharge posture during deicing. SOLUTION: The separator 50 rotatable around rotating support shafts 53, 53 having axial centers extended in the width direction is arranged opposing to an ice making face 25 of an ice making part 20. The separator 50 has a lower part located adjacent to the ice making face 25 and facing the upper side of the ice making water tank 30, and includes an ice joining part 60 facing a forming portion of an ice block M formed in the lowest position of the ice making face 25 in a water receiving posture for receiving scattered ice making water and guiding the ice making water to the ice making water tank 30. Therefore, when ice making is performed while the separator 50 is held in the water receiving posture, the ice block M formed in the lowest position of the ice making face 25 is fixed to the ice joining part 60 separably.
