==DEVICES FOR PLANING CLEAR ICE PRODUCTS AND RELATED METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011693 titled 'DEVICES FOR PLANING CLEAR ICE PRODUCTS AND RELATED METHODS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes methods and devices for planing ice. The process involves receiving an elongate ice ingot at a planing apparatus, feeding the ingot through an opening in a cutterhead assembly, and planing multiple surfaces of the ingot at a predefined depth as it is fed linearly through the opening. The result is a planed ice ingot.

* The invention is a planing apparatus for ice ingots.
* The apparatus includes a cutterhead assembly with an opening for feeding the ingot.
* The ingot is fed at a configurable rate through the opening.
* The cutterhead assembly planes multiple surfaces of the ingot at a predefined depth.
* The planing process is performed as the ingot is fed linearly through the opening.
* The outcome of the process is a planed ice ingot.

Potential Applications:
* Ice sculpting and carving: The technology can be used in the creation of intricate ice sculptures and carvings.
* Food and beverage industry: Planed ice ingots can be used in the production of ice cubes, shaved ice, and other ice-based products.
* Medical applications: The planed ice ingots can be used in cryotherapy or medical procedures that require precise ice shapes.

Problems Solved:
* Efficient ice planing: The technology provides a method for quickly and accurately planing ice ingots, reducing the time and effort required for manual ice shaping.
* Consistent ice thickness: The predefined depth of planing ensures uniform thickness across the surfaces of the ice ingot.
* Precision in ice shaping: The linear feeding of the ingot through the opening allows for precise control over the planing process, resulting in accurate and detailed ice shapes.

Benefits:
* Time-saving: The planing apparatus enables faster ice shaping compared to manual methods.
* Cost-effective: The automation of the planing process reduces labor costs associated with manual ice carving.
* Versatility: The technology can be used for various applications in different industries, providing flexibility in ice shaping.
* Precision and consistency: The predefined depth and linear feeding ensure precise and uniform ice shaping, meeting specific requirements.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

methods and devices for planing ice are described that include at least receiving, at a planing apparatus, an elongate ice ingot, feeding the elongate ice ingot at a configurable rate through an opening in a cutterhead assembly of the planing apparatus, and planing, by the cutterhead assembly, a plurality of surfaces of the elongate ice ingot at a predefined depth as the elongate ice ingot is fed linearly through the opening of the cutterhead assembly. the planing may result in a planed ice ingot.
