  • Patent number: 12128374
    Abstract: A mixer for a food product includes a vessel, an stator arranged in the vessel, and a rotor to rotate the food product relative the stator. The stator is displaceable relative the rotor by a movement along a stator guide. The stator guide includes an interior cavity being enclosed by a wall extending into the vessel, and a first magnetizable material is arranged inside the cavity. The stator includes a second magnetizable material, wherein a magnetic field between the first and second magnetizable materials generates a force that moves the stator along the stator guide for displacement of the stator relative the rotor.

  • Patent number: 11666870
    Abstract: An apparatus for mixing a liquid and a substance, including a housing with a liquid inlet and a substance inlet to a mixing chamber, an outlet for a mixture of liquid and substance, and a flow restrictor arranged in the housing, between the liquid inlet and the mixing chamber. The flow restrictor is controllable to switch between a first position providing a first through flow area configured to create a Venturi effect such that a flow of the liquid draws the substance into the mixing chamber, and a second position providing a second through flow area that is larger than the first through flow area to thereby decrease a pressure drop caused by the flow restrictor.

  • Patent number: 10071348
    Abstract: A mixing unit for mixing a flow of liquid product is provided. The mixing unit comprises a stator forming a hollow sleeve, and a rotor having a circular displacement plate with two opposite sides, wherein at least one side has at least two chambers formed by a plurality of vanes extending in a direction being parallel with a longitudinal axis of the stator, wherein the rotor is arranged within the stator for rotating liquid product arranged in said chambers relative the stator. The displacement plate is tilted relative a longitudinal axis of the stator such that said at least two chambers have different volumes, and a side wall of the stator has at least one exit area comprising at least one through hole for allowing liquid product to exit the stator.
