Abstract: This invention concerns a machine for the drying, polishing and burnishing cutlery and other metal tableware. It consists of a tank suspended upon a base and moved by a vibrating device, having a treatment channel (15) designed to receive a drying material and the articles for treatment. The treatment channel (15) rises in a spiral from an entrance chute at the loading mouth to an exit passage or chute for the articles and has, in a transverse cross-section, a U-shaped bottom (22) defined by a substantially cylindrical concave surface and, lengthways, by a series of straight segments (23) which alternate with and are joined to curved segments (24), without sharp edges or corners. Ideally, the channel has a steeper gradient towards the exit.

Abstract: The invention concerns a container or pot for preparing polenta which has a body (11) with an internal semi-cylindrical bottom (12), a turning stirrer (15) on the bottom of the body, a gearmotor device for controlling the rotation of the internal stirrer, and a distribution outlet (17) in one wall of said body on a level with its bottom. An obturator means (20) is associated with the distribution outlet which moves between a closing and opening position for a controlled distribution of the polenta by means of the internal stirrer.

Abstract: The invention concerns a machine for drying, polishing and burnishing cutlery, crockery and metal tableware with the help of a drying material. It includes a tank (11,21) suspended on springs (13,23) on a supporting base (12,22) and connected to a motor driven vibrator (14,24) to maintain it in continual vibration, where said tank contains the drying material and is used to receive the objects to be treated with this material. The tank make also be equipped with a chute (25) for loading the items to be treated and on one side of the tank an exit chute (26) for the treated items.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a machine for the rapid drying of crockery, cutlery, glasses, and similar objects using the passage of a drying material. Inside of a body or housing there is included a loading plate (11) for the objects to be dried; a tank (13) of drying material; and some ducting (14) for the conveying and blowing of the drying material from the tank to the objects on the said loading plate from different directions.
