Processing steps
Step Date Type Process Changes
#1 fluid physical Water ice cubes were produced in a freezer Water ice cubes few centimeters large are formed.
#2 mechanical The ice cubes were crushed with liquid nitrogen, using an ice-crusher. Irregular water ice particles are formed.
#3 mechanical The ice particles were sieved using two sieves of 200 and 400 µm. The irregular water ice particles of size between 200 and 400 µm are selected.
