<p>A nozzle arrangement (1) for use in filling ice cream into containers comprising a number of filler nozzles (2) with cream inlet openings (27, 28) and a nozzle tip (37). In each filler nozzle a filler piston (9) is displaceable in a filler housing (10). The filler housing and the filler piston are produced from a stainless steel with a Hardcor treatment so that these surfaces are able to run together without tearing and at the same time produced with such tolerances that the gap formed between the piston and the housing is impermeable to cream but not impermeable to liquid. Owing to this, a hose/pipe arrangement (40) for a detergent may be connected with the inlet openings (27, 28) and the nozzle tips (37) for flushing and cleaning. The detergent is able to pass through the gap between the piston (9) and the housing (10) and exit through a hollow space (50), which is flushed by the detergent introduced into it from at least one nozzle tip (37). Owing to this, complete flushing/cleaning of the nozzle arrangement (1) is obtained.</p> |
