New Ice Making Process by UT Scientist Reported
Professor John R. Watt of the University of Texas says a new commercial ice making method speeds production up to 30 times and lowers costs. The process mimics hail formation by creating a center ice core with pre cooled water coating. Ice can be cut into blocks crushed or shredded. The American glass blowing industry is concentrated in about a dozen eastern plants.
