An ice making assembly and an ice bucket are provided. The ice bucket includes a sidewall that defines a storage volume and an auger disposed within the storage volume. A motor is configured for rotating the auger within the storage volume. The motor is positioned above the storage volume along a vertical direction. The position of the motor relative to the storage volume can assist with limiting or preventing damage to the motor.

An ice making device and a method of making ice. A stream of water is pressurized by a water supply device so that a high pressure water can be supplied to a freezing surface in a housing. The housing is operated at a pressure that is greater than atmospheric pressure. The water supply device may comprise a pump, a pressurized water tank, or a chamber with two or more valves.

An apparatus covering an evaporator on all four sides. a first inlet to allow refrigerant into the casing. A side chamber, a top chamber, a center chamber, and a bottom chamber to receive refrigerant and act as a heat exchange allowing the refrigerant received to undergo heat transfer and reduction in temperature due to thermal exchange with a plurality of side of the evaporator. A first outlet to allowing the refrigerant to exit the casing. A second inlet to allow the refrigerant to enter the evaporator after exiting the casing and distribute the refrigerant within the evaporator. A second outlet allowing the refrigerant to exit the evaporator and cycle through a refrigeration system. The first inlet and the second outlet are dual-piped to allow for heat exchange. The evaporator, comprising a plurality of tubes, optionally, space reducers, and optionally, a center space reducer.

A self-contained food processor is provided for treating a food flow path in the food processor with a solution. The food flow path can be treated without requiring disassembly and reassembly of the food processor and without requiring direct operator input. The food processor includes a controller for directing passage of a solution through at least portions of the food flow path without requiring constant operator oversight. The food processor can employ available positive pressure water supply, such as public utility water pressure to selectively and automatically push solutions, including rinses, backwards or forwards through the food flow path in the food processor.
