Publication number: 20250180533Abstract: A measuring system for automatically determining a quality of a foodstuff mixture includes a product holder for a fluid or viscous foodstuff, a housing for receiving the product holder, a sensor device for measuring a parameter value of the foodstuff, a control device, an additive dosing device for output of an additive to the foodstuff, and a mixing device which includes a mixing body arranged in the product holder and including a magnetisable or magnetic material, and a displacement device for the mixing body. The mixing device is configured to act on the additive dosing device via the mixing body to output the additive. Because the magnetically movable mixing body, arranged even before mixing, can cause the output of additive, error-susceptible human actions are avoided, without the need to open the product holder.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2023Publication date: June 5, 2025Applicant: LANVI PATENT B.V.Inventor: Frans Emo Diderik VAN HALSEMA

Publication number: 20250172531Abstract: A measuring system for automated determination of a quality of a foodstuff mixture includes a product holder for a liquid or viscous foodstuff, a housing for receiving the product holder, a sensor device for measuring a parameter value of the foodstuff, a control device, an additive dosing device to deliver an additive to the foodstuff, and a mixing device, which includes a mixing body provided in the product holder with a magnetisable or magnetic material, and a displacing device for the mixing body. The control device is arranged for moving the mixing body in such a way that it performs a repeated to-and-fro motion in the product holder. As a result, the foodstuff and the additive are mixed to produce the foodstuff mixture. This measuring system can add an additive to a foodstuff and mix the two together according to a desired protocol, without human intervention and without needing to open the product holder. This improves the reliability of the measurements.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2023Publication date: May 29, 2025Applicant: LANVI PATENT B.V.Inventor: Frans Emo Diderik VAN HALSEMA

Patent number: 12235199Abstract: A measuring system for determining and/or monitoring the quality of a liquid or viscous foodstuff, including a housing with an interior space for a product container for the foodstuff, a heating and cooling device, and a control unit. The product container has a lid with a thermometer probe projecting into the product container, and a transparent wall. The housing has a light source, an optical sensor for registering light entering the product container via the foodstuff, and a measuring device for rheological properties of the foodstuff. The control unit is connected to the thermometer, the heating and cooling device, the light source, the optical sensor and the measuring device, and is designed to set a predetermined time-temperature program in the interior space, and to repeatedly perform measurements on the foodstuff to determine a measured value of said foodstuff, and for storing and/or exporting and/or processing the measured values.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2020Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: LANVI PATENT B.V.Inventor: Frans Emo Diderik Van Halsema

Publication number: 20240224865Abstract: A vehicle system for processing and transporting a product includes a first autonomous unmanned vehicle provided with automatic drive including wheels and a navigation device. The first autonomous vehicle being further provided with a power supply, a storage configured to store the product and a first coupler. The vehicle system includes a processing device provided with a processor configured to process the product. The processor includes a robot for performing processing operations, and the processing device include a second coupling means. The vehicle system further includes a controller. In a first state, the first and second couplers are uncoupled and detached from each other and at least the first autonomous unmanned vehicle moves separately, and in a second state, the couplers are coupled and engage with each other, and the first autonomous unmanned vehicle and the processing device together form an autonomous unmanned vehicle unit and as such move together.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2022Publication date: July 11, 2024Applicant: LANVI PATENT B.V.Inventor: Karel VAN DEN BERG

Publication number: 20220365055Abstract: A measuring system automatically determines and/or monitors quality of a dairy product. The measuring system includes a housing for a container containing the dairy product, a viscosity measuring device, and a control unit. The viscosity measuring device includes a magnetic first body, an electromagnetic drive, and a detection system that detects displacement of the magnetic first body. The electromagnetic drive includes a plurality of individually controllable coils in a stack. The control unit is configured to individually energize the coils in a predetermined pattern in such a way that the magnetic first body is displaced. The magnetic first body is able to be readily pulled up, even in viscous liquids, but can also be pulled down in a controlled manner so that the viscosity can be measured more accurately.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2020Publication date: November 17, 2022Applicant: LANVI PATENT B.V.Inventor: Frans Emo Diderik VAN HALSEMA
