Abstract: The emulsifying device (1) for emulsifying milk comprises a Venturi mixing chamber (2), a circuit (3) for supplying air and having an air outlet (22) connected to the mixing chamber (2), and a circuit (4) for supplying steam and having a steam outlet (23) connected to the mixing chamber, the circuit for supplying air (3) comprising a first air inlet line (5) equipped with a first shut-off solenoid valve (8), and at least a second air inlet line (6) equipped with a second shut-off solenoid valve (9), the first and second air inlet lines (5, 6) having a different minimum cross-sectional area (11, 12).

Abstract: An apparatus for cooking food products, comprising a main body, a containing chamber suitable to contain a cooking liquid, an exit element of the cooking liquid from said containing chamber, and a removal device.

Abstract: A closing device able to be associated with a cooking apparatus of the type where the food product is totally or partly immersed in a cooking liquid, for example a deep fryer, with a main body defining an internal chamber and with a mouth to which a tube to discharge the cooking liquid is coupled. The closing device comprises at least one insert which can be selectively associated with an end open toward the outside of the discharge tube, a closing element which can be selectively associated with the insert, and a gasket interposed between the insert and the closing element.

Abstract: A milk container that can be associated with a coffee machine having in turn an external coffee dispenser that includes a containment body for containing milk; a mixing unit at least having a mixing chamber, a channel for supplying milk to the mixing chamber, a channel for supplying steam to the mixing chamber, a channel for supplying air to the mixing chamber, and an outlet channel for milk mixed with air and steam from the mixing chamber; an external milk dispenser having hooking means to the external coffee dispenser; and at least one flexible pipe for the flexible mechanical and hydraulic connection of the external dispenser of the mixed milk to the outlet channel.

Abstract: The coffee machine (1) comprises a controller, a boiler for heating a flow of infusion water, a movable infusion unit (3) that comprises an open infusion chamber (4) connected to a dispensing line (6) for dispensing the coffee infusion and an ejection piston (9) slidably supported in the infusion chamber (4), a supply line (5) for supplying said flow of infusion water to the infusion unit (3), a closing piston (8) that is engageable for closure of the infusion chamber (4), the controller being programmed to subject the infusion unit (3), prior to execution of the infusion process, to a first course of translational movement for closure of the infusion chamber (4) by the closing piston (8), and to subject the infusion chamber (4) and the ejection piston (9) or only the ejection piston (9), following execution of the infusion process, to a second course of translational movement in the same direction as the first course of translational movement, for compression of the load of spent coffee grounds (33) against

Abstract: A coffee machine including a controller, an infusion cylinder that can be loaded with a ground coffee dose, an ejection piston slidably supported inside the infusion cylinder, a closing piston engageable in the infusion cylinder to create a closed infusion chamber for the ground coffee dose, delimited between a lateral wall of the infusion cylinder, the ejection piston and the closing piston. Electrical actuation moves the infusion cylinder between a lower travel limit stop, where the ground coffee dose is loaded, and an upper travel limit stop where the infusion process occurs, an adjuster for positioning the upper travel limit stop based on the size of the loaded ground coffee dose, so that in the position of the upper travel limit stop, the infusion chamber has a volume sufficient to contain the ground coffee dose without compressing it.

Abstract: Machine for the production of ice-cream, provided with a support body inside which a container for ingredients can be removably inserted, and a cooling circuit comprising an evaporator. The evaporator consists of at least one or more coils and a support casing defining an internal surface and an external surface on which the one or more coils adhere. The support casing defines a housing seating for the container with a truncated cone shape. The container has a mating shape with truncated cone section.

Abstract: An infusion unit having a closing piston, an infusion cylinder, and an ejection piston (for ejecting spent coffee). The piston can slide inside the infusion cylinder, between a retracted position and an extended position, for ejection of the spent coffee. Operation of the ejection piston can involve an oscillating rocker having a first arm (for driving the ejection piston) and a second arm (for engaging the oscillating movement of the rocker). The oscillating rocker can involve a first control cam arranged to generate oscillation in a direction driving toward the extended position of the ejection piston, or a second control cam arranged to generate oscillation in a direction driving toward the retracted position of the ejection piston.

Abstract: An automatic coffee machine including a hydraulic circuit having a fixed terminal piece, for supplying water and/or steam, accessible from a front wall of the machine at a distance above a resting surface of the machine. Also included is a dispenser extending frontally of the front wall, comprising a hollow body having a first longitudinal portion, and a second longitudinal portion rigidly connected to the first longitudinal portion and developing along a second longitudinal axis transverse to a first longitudinal axis of the first longitudinal portion. The first longitudinal portion has a first longitudinal end conformed for a rigid, removable hydraulic and mechanical connection with the fixed terminal piece and a second longitudinal end distal from the front wall, wherefrom the second longitudinal portion extends. The second longitudinal portion slidingly supports along the axis thereof an extension for regulating a dispensing distance from the resting surface.
