What type of commercial ice machines make the fluffy crushed ice?
There are different machines. For "sno-cones," ice is crushed into tiny pieces from ice cubes. For "shave ice" or what they call "sno-balls" in New Orleans, a different machine is used that literally uses steel blades to shave thin layers from a large, solid block of ice that it is inserted in the machine. By shaving off thin layers, a lot of air is held between the layers, creating a substance very much like snow, rather than slushed ice. http://www.hawaiianshavedice.com/shavicemac.html
