Patent number: 8261566Abstract: Method for chilling foodstuffs contained in a chilling compartment at controllable temperature, and adapted to perform according to an operating procedure that includes continuously pulling down a temperature inside the foodstuff to be chilled, until a pre-set value (Tf) is eventually reached, provided that the temperature inside the chilling compartment is lower than a pre-set value, and the temperature at the core of the foodstuff is lower than a pre-set value. In addition, before the process is allowed to move on to a final temperature pull-down step, further conditions are defined to ensure that the temperature pull-down pattern and rate inside the foodstuff are complying with the requirements set forth by applicable standards.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2006Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Electrolux Professional SpAInventors: Riccardo Furlanetto, Daniele Mari, Fabio Sinatra

Patent number: 6221175Abstract: The method for the production of a ceramic layer on a metallic base material combines the following measures: The base material is preheated. Ceramic coating material is applied to a locally melted surface region of the base material. The coating material is therein likewise melted. A metallurgical bonding zone is provided using an additive material which reacts with the coating material and which is additionally applied to the base material as an adhesion producing layer or is added to the base material as a component of the alloy.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 1998Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: Sulzer Innotec AGInventors: Wilfried Kurz, Stèwes Bourban, Heinrich Hofmann, Franz Jansen, Daniele Mari
