Opal Ice Maker - Product Specifications

How Opal Works:

Traditional ice makers freeze water into a hard ice cube. Opal nugget ice is made by scraping the ice flakes off the inside of a chilled stainless steel cylinder. The flakes are pushed through a round hole, compacting them into chewable nuggets similar to a snowball.
