    摘要: The invention relates to a system (100) for delivering frozen or chilled beverages. The system (100) comprises a device (10) and a container (20), the container (20) comprising a frozen product and the device (10) being configured for receiving the container (20) and for processing the frozen product of the container (20) to deliver the final beverage. The device (10) comprises: a slicing element (60), the slicing element (60) and the frozen product being relatively rotatable to each other about a rotation axis in order to slice the frozen product, and a driving unit (50) configured to provide the relative rotation between the slicing element (60) and the frozen product. The container (20) comprises a container inner wall (301) being in contact with the frozen product, wherein the container inner wall (301) has a cross-section, which is shaped such that a relative rotation between the container (20) and the frozen product about the rotation axis is blocked.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device (10), a container (20), a system (100) comprising the device (10) and the container (20), and a method for delivering frozen or chilled beverages. The device (10) is provided for receiving a container (20) comprising a frozen product and for processing the frozen product of the container (20) for delivering a frozen or chilled beverage, wherein the container (20) comprises a first end (20a), a second end (20b) and a sidewall (20c) extending between the first end (20a) and the second end (20b). The device (10) comprises a slicing element (60) and a driving unit (50) configured to rotate the container (20) and thus the frozen product about a rotation axis for rotating the frozen product relative to the slicing element (60) in order to slice the frozen product. The device (10) further comprises a reading unit (41) configured to read a machine-readable identification element (22) of the container (20), wherein the reading unit (41) is positioned such that an identification element (22) provided on the sidewall (20c) of the container (20) is readable by the reading unit (41), when the container (20) is rotating about the rotation axis.
