  • Patent number: 11357241
    Abstract: The equipment of the invention comprises a toroidal channel-shaped freezing tank containing coolant superimposed on a circular crown-shaped rotary mold holder, formed by a plurality of sectors affixed to the periphery of one traction disc driven by a stepper motor, said sectors having rectangular openings into which molds engage, whose lower portions are immersed in the coolant. At the bottom of the channel there is a rigid pipe provided with a plurality of holes through which jets of coolant are released under pressure. The popsicle release means comprise a radially oriented niche within said tank and a vertically displaceable housing which, in the upper position, accommodates a mold and a perforated horizontal pipe which releases jets of heated fluid against the mold cups.

  • Publication number: 20200146310
    Abstract: The equipment of the invention comprises a toroidal channel-shaped freezing tank (1) containing coolant superimposed on a circular crown-shaped rotary mold holder (7), formed by a plurality of sectors (7D) affixed to the periphery of one traction disc (8) driven by a stepper motor (12), said sectors having rectangular openings (7C) into which molds (9) engage, whose lower portions are immersed in the coolant. At the bottom of the channel there is a rigid pipe (4) provided with a plurality of holes (19) through which jets of coolant are released under pressure. The popsicle release means comprise a radially oriented niche (29) within said tank (1) and a vertically displaceable housing (40) which, in the upper position, accommodates a mold (9) and a perforated horizontal pipe (41) which releases jets of heated fluid against the mold cups (9).

  • Publication number: 20160227814
    Abstract: DISPOSITION INTRODUCED IN ICE-CREAM BAR MACHINE, designed as equipment capable of performing the molding, freezing, and unmolding of ice-creams bars, belonging to the field of food items. The current state of the art ice-cram bar machines have a tank full with a fluid kept at low temperatures, with a mechanical shaker, which moves the referred fluid, thus freezing the mixture of ice-cream bars within the stainless steel molds immersed in this tank; during this process, the sticks that will be part of the final product are inserted. After freezing, the molds are removed from the freezing tank and inserted into a tank filled with hot water for unmolding, extraction and later packing.
