An ice resurfacer is a vehicle or hand-pushed device used to clean and smooth the surface of an ice sheet, usually in an ice rink. The two major manufacturers are Resurfice Corporation, which sells Olympia-brand machines, and Frank J. Zamboni & Company.e provided services to businesses such as dairy farms and produce vendors. Zamboni created a plant for making ice blocks that could be used in refrigeration techniques. As the demand for ice blocks waned, Zamboni looked for another way to capitalize on his expertise with ice.
The Zamboni machine uses a large auger with sharpened edges to scrape the ice, removing gross imperfections. Brushes then direct the ice shavings and any chips, up a chute to â¦ a reservoir where it is mixed with hot water (in order to melt the shavings).ctually, without friction, the Zamboni would not go anywhere. Ice just reduces friction. There are microscopic pores in the ice, so when the Zamboni is on top of it, the rubb â¦ er tires press into the holes, so the vehicle gets a good grip. This makes it possible for the Zamboni to move across the ice.
