Abstract

An ice resurfacing machine (1) for resurfacing the frozen surface (G) of a skating area (A), comprises a towing vehicle (2); a slide (3) connected to the vehicle (2) at the frozen surface (G); at least one cutting device configured to perform an ice-resurfacing cut of the frozen surface (G); means for removing the ice (5) resurfaced by the cutting device; and a sensor (6) arranged on board the vehicle (2) and configured at least to detect a thickness value of the ice below the frozen surface (G) of the skating area (A), and during the movement of the vehicle (2). The sensor (6) is preferably configured to generate one or more detection signals containing the detected values of the thickness of the ice according to the position of the vehicle (2). A control unit is operationally connected to the sensor (6) and is configured to receive said one or more detection signals. A further object of the present invention is a process for resurfacing the frozen surface (G) of a skating area (A).
