Abstract: This invention relates to a method and the respective device for pulling cones or containers or similar supports containing an edible product, in particular ice-cream cones, out of the moulds. According to the invention at least one blast of air under pressure is played against the upper edge of the mould, just near the air-casing between mould and cone until it causes the lifting of the latter, after which the locking of pincers around the cone is controlled, which cone leans against the arms of said pincers and can be removed.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and the relavant method for producing ice-creams with stick, covered, providing for:

Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing ice-creams with sticks includes filling chilled molds with a covering product, for example chocolate. Excess chocolate is suctioned from the molds so that only the desired layer of frozen product adheres to the molds. The molds are then filled with ice-cream or other edible product and insertion of the stick takes place before the starting of the freezing of the product or during or soon afterwards for obtaining the best results. Gas freezing then occurs for obtaining a closing “plug” of the tub followed by brine freezing.

Abstract: A method of making a composite ice-cream cone having a preformed, closed-bottomed wafer shell. The shell has an inner surface, a length, an outer surface, and an upper edge. A separate, preformed, closed-bottomed chocolate shell has a lower portion and an upper portion, and a filling of a frozen product contained in both said lower and upper portions.

Abstract: A composite ice-cream cone having a preformed, closed-bottomed wafer shell. The shell has an inner surface, a length, an outer surface and an upper edge. A separate, preformed, closed-bottomed chocolate shell has a lower portion, an upper portion and a filling of a frozen product contained in both the lower and upper portions. The lower portion of the chocolate shell is insertedly nested within the wafer shell with the lower portion having a form complimentary to the inner surface of the wafer shell such that lower portion extends over both the entire inner surface of the wafer shell and the length of the wafer shell.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing ice cream with a stick, where the stick is inserted into the ice cream as the ice cream is extruded and where devices are provided to move the ice cream product, grasped by the stick, without the ice cream product itself coming in contact with any part of the apparatus. In the method, the ice cream is cooled to a temperature to reach a density sufficient to allow the ice cream to be supported by the stick. The product is extruded through an extrusion press, and the stick is inserted into the ice cream product coming out from the extrusion press while the ice cream product is cut. The ice cream product is the inserted, held by the stick, into a conveyor device that moves the ice cream product within a cooling tunnel until the ice cream product reaches a final temperature and as the ice cream product emerges from the tunnel, the product is completed with coverings, if required, and then packaged.
