Patent number: 11918010Abstract: A system for dispensing a frozen beverage. The system includes a barrel having an inner wall and being configured to retain the frozen beverage therein. A mixing system causes mixing of the frozen beverage within the barrel. A cooling system cools the frozen beverage from radially outwardly of the inner wall. A melting system heats the frozen beverage from radially inwardly of the inner wall. The mixing system causes relatively larger ice crystals to move inwardly from the inner wall, and the melting system reduces a size of the relatively larger ice crystals.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Marmon Foodservice Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ilie Luca, Jacob C. Greenberg, Tomasz K. Kasprzycki

Publication number: 20200288747Abstract: A method for filling a barrel of a frozen beverage dispenser to create a beverage. The method includes determining a target brix level for the beverage, determining a starting fill setting for a supply line that fills the barrel, and detecting a current condition within at least one of the supply line and the barrel. The method further includes calculating an adjusted fill setting by adjusting the starting fill setting for the supply line based on the current condition detected, and operating the supply line at the adjusted fill setting to fill the barrel such that the target brix level is achieved within the barrel.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2020Publication date: September 17, 2020Applicant: Cornelius, Inc.Inventors: Jacob C. Greenberg, Tomasz K. Kasprzycki, Zachary Dresser

Patent number: 10654702Abstract: A beverage dispensing machine includes a valve body configured to receive a first fluid and a second fluid and dispense the first fluid through a first orifice and the second fluid through a second orifice. A first valve seal is movable to open and close the first orifice, and a second valve seal is movable to open and close the second orifice. An arm is pivotally coupled to the valve body, and pivoting of the arm relative to the valve body moves the first valve seal and the second valve seal and thereby opens the first orifice and the second orifice. The machine also includes a solenoid valve configured to pivot the arm, and a handle with a leg that is pivotable into and between a rest position in which the valve seals are closed and an active position in which the valve seals are open. As the handle moves from the rest position to the active position, the leg acts on the solenoid valve such that the arm pivots and the valve seals open.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Cornelius, Inc.Inventors: Tomasz K. Kasprzycki, Hansel Sjukur

Patent number: 10477883Abstract: A gas injection assembly for injecting a gas into a liquid to form a solution includes a vessel that receives the liquid, a flow channel that conveys the liquid from the vessel through an upstream inlet to a downstream outlet that is configured to dispense the solution, and a sparger having a porous surface positioned in the flow channel such that the liquid flows across the porous surface and the porous surface injects the gas into the liquid as the liquid flows across the porous surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2016Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Cornelius, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas M. Giardino, Tomasz K. Kasprzycki, Jacob Lukjanowicz, Jose Renteria, Michael Kurtz

Publication number: 20170332672Abstract: A beverage machine has a gas dissolution assembly that includes a pressure vessel having an open end and a top cap that couples with the open end of the pressure vessel. The top cap has a gas inlet through which a gas to be infused into the beverage flows. A clamping mechanism clamps the top cap onto the open end of the pressure vessel. A gas infusing device that is coupled to the gas inlet has a porous element that infuses the gas into the beverage.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2017Publication date: November 23, 2017Applicant: Cornelius, Inc.Inventors: Tomasz K.

Publication number: 20170304784Abstract: A batch gasification assembly comprises a pressure vessel having an open end and being configured to contain a beverage to be carbonated and a flexible seal that covers the open end of the pressure vessel. A closure mechanism for the pressure vessel comprises a retainer configured to receive and retain the open end of the pressure vessel, a top cap, and an over-center clamping mechanism that is configured to clamp the top cap onto the open end of the pressure vessel so that the flexible seal member is sandwiched between the top cap and the open end of the pressure vessel.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2016Publication date: October 26, 2017Applicant: Cornelius, Inc.Inventor: Tomasz K.
