FOOD PROCESSOR WITH LOW FRICTION IMPELLER SUPPORT

摘要

A machine (1) for homogenising a food substance includes: a container (10) having a side wall (11) and a bottom wall (12) delimiting a cavity (10'); an impeller (30) having an impelling member (31) forming an impelling surface (31', 31'', 31''') rotatable about a central axial direction (30') of the impelling surface (31', 31'', 31''') for imparting a mechanical effect to said food substance in the container (10); a module (20) which has a housing means (22') that contains an inner chamber (22,22a) and that delimits a seat (21) on or in which the container (10) is mounted, the chamber (22,22a) containing an electric actuator (24) for driving the impelling member (31) in the container (10). The actuator (24) in the module (20) drives a follower device (35) of the impeller (30) in the container (10) by magnetic coupling through the sidewall (11) and/or bottom wall (12).The impeller (30) has a foot (35, 38) that has a downwardly-oriented convex curved contact surface (38) such that the impeller (30) rests on the bottom wall (12) entirely via the convex curved contact surface (38).
