摘要:
The present invention relates to a container (3) comprising a first chamber (4) containing a foamable liquid; a self-heating element (5) which is in thermal contact with the foamable liquid; a pressurized gas which is contained in the first chamber or in a second chamber allowing release of the pressurized gas to the first chamber; and an outlet valve (1) which is in liquid communication with the first chamber. The container and/or the outlet valve can be used for dispensing foam and aerated liquid, preferably milk foam. Preferably the foamable liquid is milk, preferably dairy milk or plant based milk, more preferably pasteurized and/or sterilized dairy milk.

A kitchen appliance drive unit (10) is disclosed that comprises a housing (11) including a drive mechanism in the housing; a rotary member (31) driven by the drive mechanism, a first opening (13); a second opening (15) and an fluid pump (40) driven by the drive mechanism and being fluidly connected to the first and second openings, the fluid pump being arranged, in a first mode of operation, to displace a fluid from the first opening 5 (13) to the second opening (15), the fluid pump (40) also being arranged, in a second mode of operation, to displace fluid from the second opening (15) to the first opening (13).
摘要:
The invention refers to a pumping and foaming device (10) comprising a mixing unit (201) where air and a foamable fluid are conveyed and pre-mixed, and a foaming unit (203) where the mixture of air and fluid is foamed; the device (10) further comprising a processing element (202) rotatable with respect to the foaming unit (203), such that the rotation of the processing element (202) sucks air and fluid by centrifugal forces into the mixing unit (201), where they are conveyed and pre-mixed, that same rotation of the processing element (202) with respect to the foaming unit (203) driving the mixture of air and fluid under a certain level of shear stress which allows the mixture to be foamed. The invention further refers to a pack (100) comprising a device (10) and a fluid container (20), and further to a machine (200) to which such a pack (100) is connectable. The invention also refers to a system (300) comprising a machine (200) and a pack (100).
摘要:
A method automatically evaluates the quality of milk foam dispensed by a machine for dispensing milk-based beverages through the analysis of an image of the free surface of the frothed milk contained in a container, wherein the analysis uses automatic procedures for processing images for identifying and quantifying, in the processed image, a physical characteristic representative of the texture of the surface of the frothed milk and hence indicative of the quality of milk foam, the physical characteristic being the plurality of air bubbles.
摘要:
A device for frothing a liquid includes a tube-shaped housing with an inner surface having a curved periphery. At least one inlet is arranged in a lateral area of the housing for letting in the liquid and a frothing gas, and may have a tangential orientation with respect to the curved periphery of the inner surface of the housing. End faces of the housing are open and function as outlets of the device, where a longitudinal axis of the housing may extend in a horizontal direction. Rings may be provided inside the housing for keeping a rotating flow inside the housing during a period of time which is sufficiently long for a frothing process to take place in an effective manner.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a container (C) for the preparation of flowable food or beverage compositions, adapted to be functionally inserted in a food or beverage preparation machine (M), said container comprising walls defining at least one cavity (27) for containing at least one precursor ingredient, and a dispensing channel (15) through which the food or beverage composition can flow to a consumer receptacle, characterized in that it further comprises a foaming whisk element (29) located at least partially into the dispensing channel (15) so as to be able to whip said product when the latter exits said channel (15).
摘要:
A container having pressurized gas, the container includes an outlet, a liquid substance, a first gas dissolved in the liquid substance; and a noble gas. The liquid substance and the first gas are dispensed from the outlet when the container is oriented in a first position, and at least 90% of gas that is dispensed from the outlet when the container is oriented in a second position includes the noble gas.

The machine (M) comprises electric heaters (15, 42) suitable to heat an amount of water for preparing hot beverages to a preset temperature; a first unit (1) for preparing and delivering a first hot beverage, particularly coffee, including a bearing structure (3) wherein at least one extraction assembly (4) is mounted which is suitable to accommodate a capsule or pod containing a substance for preparing the first beverage, particularly roasted ground coffee, and an underlying movable dispenser (21, 22) which is capable of taking at least first and second delivery positions, and a second unit (2) for preparing a beverage by means of centrifugation, which is arranged adjacent the first unit (1) and including a vessel (26) to receive an amount of the first beverage from the dispenser (21, 22) of the first unit (1), when this dispenser (21, 22) is in a preset delivery position, and optional further substances, and a motor-driven centrifuge assembly (28) including a stirring member (36) suitable to be introduced into this vessel (26) and be operated therein to stir the contents thereof, the stirring member (36) having a longitudinal duct (39), the outlet thereof ending within the vessel (26).
摘要:
An automatic device for heating and frothing a liquid, in particular milk, comprises a container for the liquid, inside which a first tube for introducing pressurised steam into the liquid is removably mounted. The first tube has an inlet in correspondence of the bottom of the container, for receiving steam from a duct located within a support base of the container, and is secured, for at least part of its length, to a second tube for introducing air into the liquid.
摘要:
A whipped cream dispenser arrangement comprising a portable, hand-held whipped cream dispenser-canister for holding a quantity of cream to be dispensed as whipped cream. The dispenser has a male fitting on the canister with a central bore there-through. The bore encloses a cartridge piercing pin therein, as part of its prior art use. A replacement adapter cap is arranged in fluid communication with a spaced-apart tank of pressurized gas, and the dispenser has a nozzle having a valve therewith for dispensing whipped cream when pressurized gas is introduced through the adapter cap from a large, spaced-apart pressurized gas tank, and into the canister.
