  • Patent number: 11206941
    Abstract: A machine (1) for stirring a liquid food substance has: a container (10) delimiting a cavity (11) with a bottom (12) and a peripheral wall (13) for containing the liquid food substance to be stirred; an impeller (20) comprising an impelling member (21) which is configured to be rotated in the cavity (11), the impeller (20) including an arrangement of driven magnetic elements (26) in the form of permanent magnets; and a motor (30) having an output shaft (31) that is magnetically coupled to the impelling member (21) via the container bottom (12) and/or peripheral wall (13) for driving the impelling member (21), the output shaft (31) driving an arrangement of driving magnetic elements (36,36?) that cooperate magnetically with the driven magnetic elements (26) so as to drive the impeller (20) in rotation.

  • Patent number: 10807049
    Abstract: A machine (1) for homogenising a food substance has: a container (10) with a side wall (11) and a bottom wall (12) delimiting a cavity (10?); an impeller (30) with an impelling member (31) forming an impelling surface (31?,31?,31?) that is drivable in rotation (r) about a central axial direction (30?) of the impelling surface (31?,31?,31??) for imparting a mechanical effect to the food substance; and a module (20) which has a housing means (22?) that contains an inner chamber (22,22a) and that delimits a seat (21) for the container (10), the chamber (22,22a) containing an electric motor (24). The electric motor (24) has an output drive axis (24?) with a driver device (24?) configured to drive a follower device (35) of the impeller (30). The driver device (24?) and the follower device (35) are magnetically coupled through a sidewall (11) and/or bottom wall (12) of the container (10).

  • Patent number: 10631686
    Abstract: A machine (1) for homogenizing a food substance includes a container (10) delimiting a cavity (10?) for containing the food substance. The machine has an impeller (30) with an impelling member (31) having a generally disc-shaped or conically-shaped impelling surface (31?, 31?, 31??) that is drivable in rotation about a central axial direction (30?) for imparting a mechanical effect to the food substance in the container (10) to homogenize different phases in the food substance. The impelling member (31) has at least one opening (31a, 31b1, 31b2, 31b4, 31b4, 31c, 31c?, 31d1, 31d2) which extends through the member (31) from the impelling surface (31?, 31?, 31??) to an opposite surface (31IV) of the member (31).

  • Publication number: 20190274482
    Abstract: A machine (1) for stirring a liquid food substance has: a container (10) delimiting a cavity (11) with a bottom (12) and a peripheral wall (13) for containing said liquid food substance to be stirred, the cavity (11) extending generally along a generally upright central container axis (14) and having a mouth (15) for removing from the container (10) said liquid food substance upon stirring; and an impeller (20) comprising an impelling member (21) which is configured to be rotated in the cavity (11) against said liquid food substance about an impeller axis (22) that is generally identical or generally parallel to the container axis (14). The impelling member (21) is configured to be spaced above the cavity's bottom (12) by: a maximum stirring distance (H) when the impelling member (21) is rotated at at a maximum stirring speed about the impeller axis (22); and a resting distance (h), smaller than the maximum stirring distance (H), when the impelling member (21) stands still.
