Abstract: A grinding apparatus for dispensing a dose of ground frozen material starting from a frozen block includes a grinding unit for grinding the frozen block in order to provide an amount of ground frozen material and a feeding unit for feeding the frozen block to the grinding unit. In particular, the feeding unit includes a feeding member that is adapted for moving frozen block for a desired predetermined grinding stroke against grinding unit such that a grinding length of block is ground. A grinding unit provides at least one grater and one motor for causing the grater to rotate. In order to obtain a desired weight of the dose, a volume of frozen material is calculated that corresponds to said weight, since the density of the frozen material is known.

Abstract: An apparatus for supplying a single-dose portable express portion of a warm food product that can be eaten keeping it in hand, this warm food product having a stiff edible container (24) and a stuffing with at least one food component selected from the group comprised of: dressing of a pizza, in particular, comprising cheese. The apparatus comprises a conveyor belt (2) exposed to irradiation by at least one heat source (10), and optionally an auxiliary conveyor belt (1). The heated component (23) comprising cheese, is brought from the conveyor belt (2) towards an outlet where it falls in the edible container (24).
