MACHINE AND METHOD FOR MAKING LIQUID OR SEMI-LIQUID FOOD PRODUCTS

摘要

A machine for making liquid or semi-liquid food products includes a plurality of supply containers containing a basic mixture and deformable wall, so the space occupied by each first container depends on a quantity of basic mixture therein. A processing container includes a stirrer and thermal treatment system, operating with one another to convert the basic mixture into a liquid or semi-liquid product. A connecting system connects the supply containers to the processing container to transfer the basic mixture from one of the supply containers to the processing container and includes a plurality of pneumatically operated closing valves, where each of the valves is associated with one of the supply containers and can be activated and deactivated independently of the remaining valves to allow the placement of one of the containers in connection with the processing container.

主权项

1. A machine for making liquid or semi-liquid food products, comprising:
a frame; a plurality of supply containers containing a liquid or semi-liquid basic mixture and comprising a deformable wall, so that the space occupied by each first container depends on a quantity of basic mixture in the self-same first container; a processing container forming a processing chamber for the basic mixture and provided with a stirrer and with thermal treatment means for the basic mixture, operating in conjunction with one another to convert the basic mixture into a liquid or semi-liquid product; connecting means for connecting the supply containers to the processing container, configured to allow the operative connection of each of the supply containers to the processing container and to transfer the basic mixture from each of the supply containers to the processing container; supporting means for the supply containers, operatively associated with the frame, an electronic drive and control unit, the machine wherein the connecting means comprise a plurality of pneumatically operated closing valves, where each of the valves is associated with one of the supply containers and can be activated and deactivated independently of the remaining valves to allow the placement of one of the containers in connection with the processing container.
