Abstract: 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).

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). The driver device (24″) comprises a ferromagnetic or magnetic field-generating element (24a) that is arranged to be magnetically coupled to a corresponding ferromagnetic or magnetic field-generating element (36) of the follower device (35). The follower device (35) extends over a predominant part of the bottom wall (12) of the container (10) or across a substantial part of the wall (12) along a diameter thereof. The driver device (24) extends over a predominant part of a bottom part of the seat (21) or across a substantial part of the bottom part of the seat (21) along a diameter thereof. The ferromagnetic and magnetic field generating elements (24a,36) are positioned at extremal or peripheral parts of the follower device (35) and of the driver device (24″).
