A beverage mixing system/method allowing faster mixing/blending of frozen beverages is disclosed. The system/method in various embodiments utilizes inductive coupling to introduce heat into the frozen beverage during the mixing/blending process via a rotating driveshaft and attached mechanical agitator to speed the mixing/blending process. Exemplary embodiments may be configured to magnetically induce heat into the driveshaft and/or mechanical agitator mixing blade to affect this mixing/blending performance improvement. This heating effect may be augmented via the use of high power LED arrays aimed into the frozen slurry to provide additional heat input. The system/method may be applied with particular advantage to the mixing of ice cream type beverages and other viscous beverage products.

A mixing cup for mixing liquid beverages including an agitator having a hollow chamber therein for receiving a thermal material such that when a beverage is mixed in the mixing cup the agitator imparts a thermal change to the beverage making the beverage either hotter or cooler depending on the temperature of the agitator.

A disperser includes an outer member and an inner member located radially inside the outer member. A flow path is formed between the outer member and the inner member, through which fluid flows from one side to the other side in the axial direction. The flow path includes a first region that extends spirally from the one side to the other side and a second region that extends continuously from the first region to the other side. The second region is defined by the tapered inner circumferential surface of the outer member and the tapered outer circumferential surface of the inner member. The tapered inner circumferential surface and the tapered outer circumferential surface are formed such that the angle of one with respect to the other in the axial cross section changes in the middle of the second region, and the second region of the flow path has portions each having a different clearance distance.

A disperser includes an outer member having a tapered inner circumferential surface, an inner member having a tapered outer circumferential surface that faces the tapered inner circumferential surface, and a clearance adjustment part that allows a clearance distance between the tapered inner circumferential surface and the tapered outer circumferential surface to be adjusted by moving the outer member and the inner member relative to each other. A flow path is formed between the inner circumferential surface of the outer member and the outer circumferential surface of the inner member, through which fluid flows from one side to the other side. The flow path includes a dispersion region defined by the tapered inner circumferential surface and the tapered outer circumferential surface. The tapered inner circumferential surface and the tapered outer circumferential surface are formed such that the angle of one with respect to the other in the axial cross section changes in the middle of the dispersion region.

This application discloses a stirrer with a direct drive motor comprising a stator module with a rod mounted onto a stator and a rotor module comprising a rotor encapsulated in a housing and connected to an impeller. In some embodiments the rod functions as a cooling device to prevent the stator from being overheated during stirring. The stator module and the rotor are encapsulated in their separate housing and are detachable from each other and the impeller to allow the user to clean, disinfect, maintain or repair the stator module, rotor, impeller, and coupling between the stator module and the rotor before further use. Depending on the type of impeller added, it may be used for moving, stirring, mixing, agitating, blending, aerating, homogenizing, or cutting the medium.
