Abstract:
A food processing machine includes a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including an output shaft driven in a planetary manner. A food processing assembly is mounted below the head and includes a drive assembly for converting planetary motion of the output shaft to a rotational motion of a food processing tool drive shaft about a stationary shaft axis. The food processing assembly includes a food processing tool that can be removed.
Abstract:
A food processing machine includes a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including a rotatable output member for receiving a mixer tool. A drive system for effecting rotation of the rotatable output member includes a primary drive motor connected through a variable ratio transmission assembly to drive the output member, and a modulator motor linked to operate the variable ratio transmission assembly.
Abstract:
A food slicer for slicing and weighing food items includes a slicer body and a slicer knife mounted for rotation relative to the slicer body. The slicer knife includes a peripheral cutting edge. A food product carriage is mounted to the slicer body for reciprocating movement back and forth past a cutting zone of the slicer knife. A modular, removable portion scale is mounted on the slicer body and includes a weigh platter on a slice exit side of the slicer knife. A controller of the food slicer is configured for automated operations and/or monitoring and alerting based upon slicer conditions.
Abstract:
A food processing machine includes a mixer body (12) including a stand (14) and a bowl support (16). A bowl (20) is mounted atop the bowl support (16), the bowl (20) including a bottom wall (60, 62) with an opening (62) therein, the bowl (20) having an upper edge (64), wherein a bowl (20) height is defined by a linear distance from the opening (62) to a height of the upper edge (64). A tubular member (70) is formed separate from the bowl (20) and is connected to the bowl (20), the tubular member (70) extending upward from the opening (62) and within the bowl (20), the tubular member (70) including a lower end (72) and an upper end (136, 74, 78), wherein a tube (70) height is defined by a linear distance from the opening (62) to a height of the upper end (136, 74, 78) of the tubular member (70), wherein the tube (70) height is less than the bowl (20) height. A drive (40) is mounted below the bowl support (16).
Abstract:
A food processing machine includes a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including an output shaft driven in a planetary manner. At least a first food processing tool and a second food processing tool can be changed in and out of the machine to be driven by the output shaft. A controller and associated tool detection system is configured to identify whether the first food processing tool or the second food processing tool is mounted on the machine and to select a stored load profile that is linked to the identified food processing tool.
Abstract:
A food slicer for slicing and weighing food items includes a sheer body and a sheer knife mounted for rotation relative to the slicer body. The slicer knife includes a peripheral cutting edge. A food product carriage is mounted to the slicer body for reciprocating movement back and forth past a cutting zone of the slicer knife. A portion scale is mounted on the slicer body and includes a weigh platter on a slice exit side of the slicer knife. A controller of the food slicer is configured for automated operations and/or monitoring and alerting based upon slicer conditions.
