    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. One of the driven magnetic elements (26) is positioned to: generally face a first driving magnetic element (36) in a generally attraction orientation relative to said one driven magnetic element (26), the first driving magnetic element (36) driving this one driven magnetic element (26) in rotation; and be off-set relative to a second driving magnetic element (36′) in a generally repulsion orientation relative to the one driven magnetic element (26), the second magnetic element (36′) driving the one driven magnetic element (26) in rotation.

    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.

    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″).
