Abstract: A food processing machine includes a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including an output shaft driven in a planetary manner. At least a first food processing tool and a second food processing tool can be changed in and out of the machine to be driven by the output shaft. A controller and associated tool detection system is configured to identify whether the first food processing tool or the second food processing tool is mounted on the machine and to select a stored load profile that is linked to the identified food processing tool.

Abstract: A food slicer for slicing and weighing food items includes a slicer body and a slicer knife mounted for rotation relative to the slicer body. The slicer knife includes a peripheral cutting edge. A food product carriage is mounted to the slicer body for reciprocating movement back and forth past a cutting zone of the slicer knife. A portion scale is mounted on the slicer body and includes a weigh platter on a slice exit side of the slicer knife. A controller of the food slicer is configured for automated operations and/or monitoring and alerting based upon slicer conditions.

Abstract: A food processing machine includes a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including an output shaft driven in a planetary manner. A food processing assembly is mounted below the head and includes a drive assembly for converting planetary motion of the output shaft to a rotational motion of a food processing tool drive shaft about a stationary shaft axis. The food processing assembly includes a food processing tool that can be removed.

Abstract: A mixing machine includes a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including a downwardly extending rotatable output shaft for receiving a mixer tool, the head including a planetary system therewithin for effecting rotation of the rotatable output shaft about its axis and orbiting of the shaft axis about another axis. A motor includes an output operatively connected to drive the planetary system. A control system includes a plurality of sensors, each sensor located for detecting a respective condition of mixing machine, and a diagnostic control operable to (i) track outputs from the plurality of sensors over time, (ii) analyze the tracked outputs and (iii) produce an alert indication based upon the diagnostic control identifying a performance characteristic indicative of a need for service or repair of the mixing machine.

Abstract: A food processing machine includes a mixer body including a stand and a bowl support. A bowl is mounted atop the bowl support, the bowl including a bottom wall with an opening therein, the bowl having an upper edge, wherein a bowl height is defined by a linear distance from the opening to a height of the upper edge. A tubular member is formed separate from the bowl and is connected to the bowl, the tubular member extending upward from the opening and within the bowl, the tubular member including a lower end and an upper end, wherein a tube height is defined by a linear distance from the opening to a height of the upper end of the tubular member, wherein the tube height is less than the bowl height. A drive is mounted below the bowl support.
