Abstract: An ice-cream making machine comprises a first production line and a second production line with an inlet pump, a mixing and chilling chamber, an outlet pump connected in series, as well as a cooling circuit in heat exchange connection with the mixing and chilling chamber, respectively, wherein an auxiliary conduit selectively connects and disconnects the outlet pump of the first production line to/from an inlet of the mixing and chilling chamber of the second production line, so as to be able to process either two flows of confectionery mass mutually independently or a single flow of confectionery mass by means of both production lines.

Abstract: An ice-cream making machine (1) comprises a first production line (3) and a second production line (4) with an inlet pump (304), a mixing and chilling chamber (305), an outlet pump (311) connected in series, as well as a cooling circuit (316) in heat exchange connection with the mixing and chilling chamber (305), respectively. wherein an auxiliary conduit (5) selectively connects and disconnects the outlet pump (311) of the first production line (3) to/from an inlet of the mixing and chilling chamber (405) of the second production line (4), so as to be able to process either two flows of confectionery mass mutually independently or a single flow of confectionery mass by means of both production lines (3, 4).

Abstract: A method for producing a confectionary product (1), comprises the steps of extruding a confectionary substance to form a confectionary string, shearing an end portion (5) from a remaining part (7) of the confectionary string (2), resting the end portion (5) on a conveying surface (8) already before the separation of the end portion (5) and completing the separation of the end portion (5) from the remaining part (7) of the confectionary string (2) while the end portion (5) is resting on the conveying surface (8).
