Abstract: A grinding machine for a coffee, spices or another granular food includes a couple of grinding disks and wherein the couple of grinding disks rotate during a grinding. Among many advantages, the grinding machine provides a lower energy consumption and a lower noise emission at a same ground product rate.
Abstract: A viscous food dispensing system includes a chute inlet configured to funnel particulate food product into a sleeve and a transport device having an over-center cutout. The transport device is configured to rotate within the sleeve to convey the particulate food product. A processing surface extends downward from the chute inlet towards a curved base of the sleeve along a portion of the transport device. The processing surface is spaced laterally apart from the transport device to define a processing zone between the processing surface and the transport device. The particulate food product is processed as the particulate food product is captured between a leading edge of the over-center cutout and the processing surface while the transport device is rotating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a roller grinder comprising two rollers, each mounted on a separate shaft, a fixation means, a guide member, and a first and a second end member. A center of the guide member is rotatably attached to the fixation means in a position, which in a horizontal direction is located centrally between said rollers. Each end of the guide member is attached to a first end of the first and second end members, respectively, by means of a joint, such that both the guide member and the first and second end members can rotate around the joint, and the first and second end members, respectively, are rotatably attached at a second end to a respective one of the shafts.
Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a coffee machine grinder, which includes measuring the actual value of physical quantity relating to the percolation process and modifying the ground coffee grain size at least for the next percolation so that a possible detected deviation between the actual value and a reference value for the physical quantity is compensated.
