    摘要: The invention relates to a method for cooling a product, in particular an ice cream product, in which at least one cooling element (6, 7) is introduced into a cooling section of a cooling container and in which the product is introduced into a receiving space of the cooling container. The invention further relates to a corresponding cooling container.
    The task of the invention is to create a method and a container for cooling a product, e.g. a ready-decorated ice-cream product, which takes into account the special properties of various product components and enables the product to be transported and delivered in optimum condition.
    This task is solved by dividing the receiving space into two zones and cooling the first, lower zone of the receiving space to a first temperature below −10° C. and cooling the second, upper zone of the receiving space to a second temperature that is near or above the freezing point of water.

    摘要: A container for food includes an enclosure, a lid, and pulling structures. The enclosure includes an interior and an opening. The pulling structures pull food layers from each other. A last pulling structure may pull a bottom food layer from the interior. An opening partition member may separate the lid from a top food layer. Separating portions may seal against the interior of the enclosure. At least one of the pulling structures may extend from at least one of the separating portions to a grip. The grip may be positioned outside of the interior of the enclosure, at least when the container is in a storage configuration.

    摘要: A self-serve kiosk system comprising a controller interfacing an order configuration interface and a scoop subsystem comprising a robotic arm having a scoop mechanism at a distal end thereof. The scoop mechanism has a coplanar rim about the interior and the controller controls the robotic arm in a particular manner to position the scoop mechanism in relation to an ice cream container in accordance with an order received via the order configuration interface, to lower the scoop mechanism into the ice cream container and to stroke until the coplanar rim hits flat against an opposing inner side wall surface of the container thereby entrapping a fixed volume of ice cream between the opposing inner side wall surface and the interior of the scoop so that a fixed volume of ice cream can be extracted from the ice cream container for dispensing.

    摘要: A cap assembly is used in a container. A food product to be dispensed from the container is in an inner volume of the container, and the inner volume of the container is closed by a lid. An identifier is arranged on the cap assembly and/or on a surface of the container. The cap assembly includes two parts relatively moveable with respect to each other in a relative movement. The relative movement and/or a solidary movement of these two parts allows displacement of the identifier according to a certain path and allows opening and/or closing a communication between the cap assembly and the inner volume of the container.
