Abstract:
A multiple beverage dispensing unit comprising a fluid line (2) for supplying a base fluid, one or more delivering devices (3) connectable to a constituent container (4) for introducing portions of one or more constituents into the base fluid so as to produce a mixed beverage, an outlet (5) for dispensing the mixed beverage, the multiple beverage dispensing unit comprises a plurality of delivering devices (3) and at least an actuator (6) reciprocally arranged in a movable manner so that the actuator (6) is adapted to operate each one of said plurality of delivering devices (3).
Abstract:
Household appliance (1) for the supplying of cooled water or other beverage having a tank (4) communicating directly with a source (8) supplying the beverage at above atmospheric pressure; means (5) for controlling the outflow of the water or other beverage from the tank (4); a cooling assembly (9) for cooling the beverage inside the tank (4); and a control unit (10) for controlling the cooling assembly (9) to bring the beverage inside the tank (4) to, and maintain it at, a reference temperature below or equal to the freezing temperature (T0) of the beverage; the household appliance (1) also having freezing control means (13) for assisting irregular, nonhomogeneous crystallization of the beverage to obtain a semisolid frozen drink mixture.
Abstract:
A cool drink dispenser (1) having a main pipe (6) connected to a supply source (4) to receive a beverage; a metering valve (5) connected to the main pipe (6) to receive the beverage, and designed to permit controlled outflow of the beverage from the main pipe (6) into a container positioned temporarily beneath the metering ' valve (5); an in-line cooling unit (10) located along the main pipe (6) to cool the beverage flowing along a first portion of the main pipe (6); and an in-line gas-adding unit (11) located along the main pipe (6) to add a gas to the beverage flowing along a second portion of the main pipe (6).
Abstract:
There is described a device (3) for automatically producing clear ice, having a water and ice-forming tray (5); a cooling device (7) located at the tray (5) to cool the water in the tray (5) to a predetermined freezing temperature; a drive unit (6) for oscillating the tray (5) about a longitudinal axis (A) of the tray (5); and a number of paddles, which are fixed inside the tray (5), and, as the tray oscillates, move the water/ice in the tray (5) in the oscillation direction of the tray.
Abstract:
A post-mix beverage dispenser comprising a fluid line (2) for supplying a base fluid, a dosing device (3) for introducing at least one liquid constituent into the base fluid so as to produce a mixed beverage, an outlet (4) for dispensing the mixed beverage, the dosing device (3) comprises an actuator (5) adapted to operate at least an airless dispensing pump (6) integral with or removable from the post-mix beverage dispenser for dispensing said liquid constituent in pre-established quantities, said pump (6) comprising a movable member (19) to be actuated by the actuator (5) and a pumping chamber (21) for containing said liquid constituent, the movable member (19) is associated to said pumping chamber (21) for causing the compression of the liquid constituent contained in the pumping chamber (21) and thereby the ejection of the liquid constituent from said pump (6).
Abstract:
Ice maker comprising a freezing bin, an evaporator accommodated inside said freezing bin, a reservoir for storing the water to be introduced in said freezing bin, means for adjusting the flow of water being introduced in said freezing bin, a first conduit connecting the interior of said reservoir with the internal volume of said freezing bin, a first water supply pump included in said first conduit; there are provided means adapted to enable at least part of the water contained in said freezing bin to flow back again into said storage reservoir, and said water flow-back means comprise a second conduit. In said first or in said second conduit there are provided de-ionizing filters adapted to at least partially intercept the salts dissolved in the water flowing therethrough. Said ice maker is provided with appropriate, selectively operable pumps included in said conduits, so that the whole amount of water that is not frozen to ice is caused to flow back again into said storage reservoir. In addition, said storage reservoir is arranged to also supply a drink dispenser.
