  • Patent number: 10807049
    Abstract: A machine (1) for homogenising a food substance has: a container (10) with a side wall (11) and a bottom wall (12) delimiting a cavity (10?); an impeller (30) with an impelling member (31) forming an impelling surface (31?,31?,31?) that is drivable in rotation (r) about a central axial direction (30?) of the impelling surface (31?,31?,31??) for imparting a mechanical effect to the food substance; and a module (20) which has a housing means (22?) that contains an inner chamber (22,22a) and that delimits a seat (21) for the container (10), the chamber (22,22a) containing an electric motor (24). The electric motor (24) has an output drive axis (24?) with a driver device (24?) configured to drive a follower device (35) of the impeller (30). The driver device (24?) and the follower device (35) are magnetically coupled through a sidewall (11) and/or bottom wall (12) of the container (10).

  • Patent number: 10631686
    Abstract: A machine (1) for homogenizing a food substance includes a container (10) delimiting a cavity (10?) for containing the food substance. The machine has an impeller (30) with an impelling member (31) having a generally disc-shaped or conically-shaped impelling surface (31?, 31?, 31??) that is drivable in rotation about a central axial direction (30?) for imparting a mechanical effect to the food substance in the container (10) to homogenize different phases in the food substance. The impelling member (31) has at least one opening (31a, 31b1, 31b2, 31b4, 31b4, 31c, 31c?, 31d1, 31d2) which extends through the member (31) from the impelling surface (31?, 31?, 31??) to an opposite surface (31IV) of the member (31).
