A pour-in opening for a frozen drink maker is disclosed. The frozen drink maker includes a dasher configured to rotate within a mixing vessel about a center axis. The pour-in opening is positioned on a top rear portion of the mixing vessel. The pour-in opening includes a surface that inclines radially with respect to the center axis of the dasher and an aperture positioned on the surface in fluid communication with an interior of the mixing vessel.

A pasteurizing machine for treating liquid or semi-liquid food base products, including: a container adapted to allow the liquid or semi-liquid base products to be processed and treated by pasteurization; a stirring device, mounted inside the container and driven by drive means to stir the mixture consisting of the liquid or semi-liquid base products; drive means, configured to drive the stirring device; a thermal treatment system, including an exchanger associated with the container to heat the mixture consisting of said liquid or semi-liquid base products inside the container; at least one control unit, adapted to control the operation of the drive means;

wherein said drive means comprise a brushless electric motor provided with a rotor including permanent magnets for producing the magnetic field needed to generate the movement.

Systems and methods have demonstrated the capability of rapidly cooling the contents of pods containing the ingredients for food and drinks.

A sealed pressurized food dispensing system with self-cleaning features that can include a freezing barrel, a faceplate defining a dispense bore and a cleaning bypass passage passing through the faceplate and having an open end, where the dispenser can also include a valve stem that may be moved between a dispensing position and a non-dispensing position where the cleaning bypass passage is positioned such that, when the valve stem is in its non-dispensing position, no fluid path exists between the interior of the freezing barrel and the open end of the cleaning bypass passage within the faceplate.

A machine for making and dispensing food emulsions, Includes, in combination: a containing receptacle; a product processing system including at least: a texturizer; a pump connected, at an inlet end, to the containing receptacle and, at an outlet end, to the texturizer; and a dispensing device including a delivery duct, connected to the texturizer, and having a delivery port for delivering the emulsified product. The dispensing device includes: a first chamber, associated with a portion of the delivery duct; a plug member, disposed inside said first chamber and movable between a delivery duct open position and a delivery duct closed position; and a diaphragm connected to the plug member and defining a separating wall of the first chamber.

This application discloses a compact cold drink dispenser comprising a casing, a bracket, a freezing cylinder, a compressor, a heat exchanger, a mixer, a drive motor, and a control panel. The casing is provided with an accommodation cavity, and the bracket is disposed within the accommodation cavity, dividing the accommodation cavity into a mixing and preparation layer and a heat exchange and refrigeration layer. The compact cold drink dispenser utilizes the bracket to divide the accommodation cavity into two layers: the mixing and preparation layer on top and the heat exchange and refrigeration layer below. The freezing cylinder, compressor, heat exchanger, mixer, drive motor, and control panel are respectively disposed on the mixing and preparation layer and the heat exchange and refrigeration layer, making the assembly of various components within the casing compact and eliminating the need for excessive internal space.

A cold drink machine with a washable freezing cylinder includes a housing, a freezing cylinder, a feeding assembly, a dispensing assembly, a driver mounting frame, a driver, a stirrer, and a refrigeration assembly. The feeding assembly is arranged at a rear end of the freezing cylinder, the dispensing assembly is detachably arranged at a front end of the freezing cylinder, the driver mounting frame is arranged on the feeding assembly, the driver is mounted on the driver mounting frame, and the stirrer is installed at a drive end of the driver.

A cold drink machine and its freezing cylinder structure, the freezing cylinder structure comprises: an ice storage container and a refrigeration mechanism; the ice storage shell is provided with an ice storage chamber; the refrigeration end of the refrigeration mechanism is attached to the outer side wall of the ice storage chamber and extends from the end of the ice storage chamber away from the opening to the middle of the ice storage chamber, forming a melting gap between the refrigeration end and the opening of the ice storage chamber. This solution enables the formation of a melting gap between the refrigeration end and the opening of the ice storage chamber, creating two regions with different temperatures within the ice storage chamber, thus solving the problem of insufficient ice flow due to the single temperature maintained in the refrigeration zone of conventional cold drink machines.
