CLEANING AND SANITIZING SYSTEM FOR FROZEN DESSERT MIXING MACHINE

摘要

Improvements are provided in machines for processing frozen comestibles of the type in which a frozen comestible is placed in a mixing cup and the mixing cup is moved toward en auger which mixes the frozen comestible into a smooth, soft material. The improvements comprise at least one orifice in a sidewall of the mixing cone and a system for delivering a cleaning and sanitizing solution through the orifice to spray the solution into the interior of the mixing cone. As the mixing cone ie moved up and dawn, the cleaning and sanitizing solution is sprayed into the mixing cone and impinges on the auger to clean and sanitize the auger and the interior of the mixing cone. The system for delivering the cleaning and sanitizing solution preferably comprises a manifold having a hallow interior, with a plurality of orifices in the sidewall of the mixing cone which communicate with the hollow interior of the manifold. The manifold is positioned adjacent to the exterior surface of the sidewall of the mixing cone. A conduit delivers the cleaning and sanitizing solution under pressure into the hollow interior of the manifold, and the cleaning and sanitizing solution is sprayed through the orifices into the mixing cone.
