摘要

An ice-cream making machine, comprises a receptacle (16) for receiving the liquid ingredients to be used for making the ice-cream. A cooling duct (8) conveying the ingredients from the receptacle (16) to an ice-cream outlet (28) of the machine, and a rotor including a plurality of blades (24) rotatably driven within the cooling duct (8) and effective to atomize the liquid ingredients as particles mixed in in air and to direct them against the wall of the cooling duct (8) for instant freezing. The cooling duct (8) also cools the receptacle (16) to a temperature below ambient but above 0°C to prevent spoilage of the ingredients and also to pre-cool the ingredients before being frozen in the cooling duct (8).
