Disclosed is an ice shaver including a refrigerator, a moving mechanism, a driving device, a knife assembly and a pushing member. The refrigerator includes a bearer including an ice dropping channel and a door assembly, and the knife assembly is located between the pushing member and the door assembly. The driving device drives the moving mechanism so that the moving mechanism drives the door assembly to selectively move between an unsealing position and a sealing position. When the door assembly is located at the unsealing position, the door assembly unseals the ice-dropping channel. When the door assembly is located at the sealing position, the door assembly seals the ice-dropping channel Therefore, it is possible to protect an ice cube in the refrigerator from being contaminated by the external environment.

Provided herein are capsules for the preparation of cooled edible products from their ingredients, more specifically multi-components capsules that contain two or more ingredients for producing a cooled edible product.

Methods and systems for conveniently producing fresh smoothies, which can be tailored to the particular nutritional requirements and desires of the individual customer. The system is typically a semi-automatic or fully automatic system and may be in the form of a vending machine for smoothies. It allows a consumer to select ingredients and other options, and provides a freshly-made smoothie in a short amount of time. The system generally includes a user input apparatus for receiving orders and customer preferences, and then makes a smoothie to order, delivers the smoothie to the customer, and cleans the blending device.

Provided is a cooling chamber, cooling system and an appliance for producing cooled edible products, such as ice cream, sorbets, frozen yogurt, foamed cooled drinks, etc.

Described is a machine for making liquid or semi-liquid food products, including a first container for processing a liquid or semi-liquid base product defining a processing chamber and a stirrer for mixing the product of the first processing container. The machine also includes a plurality of detection devices designed to detect a quantity or an operating parameter of said machine and to generate a signal representative of the quantity or of the operating parameter. The machine includes a processing and control unit configured to receive the representative signals and to derive an operating condition of the machine based on the signals. The machine also includes a user interface connected to the processing and control unit and comprising a single control operable by an operator to selectively perform power on and power off of the machine.

The invention relates to a containerization system for dispensing a foamable food product comprising a single chamber pressure-resistant container comprising a base, a sidewall, and a nozzle, a food product composition comprising a food product and water, and a propellant. The invention is also directed to a process wherein the food product composition and propellant are combined to form a foamable mixture and the foamable mixture is disposed within a container such that the mixture expands in volume when it is released from the container, forming a foamed food product.

A beverage nucleator system for a supercooled beverage container may include a frame for receiving a beverage container and an ultrasonic transmitter positioned therein. A convex protrusion from the ultrasonic transmitter ensures good contact and therefore good transfer of ultrasonic energy through a top surface of a closure of the beverage container, even if the beverage container is positioned within the frame at an angle to the ultrasonic transmitter. Alternatively or additionally, a packaging holder comprising a plurality of supports may be provided to ensure that the top surface of the closure is parallel with the ultrasonic transmitter.
