Description

•j· 3 ■*·

The innovation relates to a device that allows the advantageous removal of a flowable substance from a series of containers arranged one after the other.

In the field of artisanal production of ice cream in the so-called "Italian" style, a machine is well known to professionals, which can be found on the market under the name "TRITTICO" registered by the company BRaVO SpA. In short, this machine consists of eir.tx o!?e-

, . ren pasteuriser: --tub» which is arranged vertically, and to the bottom«« a horizontally arranged production cylinder is connected via a short pipe;-,

The flow of the pasteurized mixture from the upper, vertical pasteurization tank to the horizontal, lower cream production cylinder is regulated by a throttle valve arranged in this pipe.

As a result, the pasteurized mixture flows by gravity into the cream production cylinder, where it is stirred by a screw mixer and then removed through a flap door on the front.

The "TRITTICO" machine therefore represents a real, complete laboratory for the artisanal production of ice cream
in the Italian style.

Such a machine is described and illustrated, for example, in Italian Patent 966 102 and European Patent 140 439, and reference is made to these two documents for any further explanations.

are to be used, this device being characterized in that it comprises a slide channel from which, near its upper end, means protrude which serve to install the slide inside the cream-making cylinder, so that the slide extends from the mouth of the tube to the outside of the open cream-making cylinder.

These mounting means preferably consist of a horizontal rod near the upper end of the chute and suitable for insertion into a complementary hub also intended to support the screw mixer of the cream-making cylinder.

The structural and functional features of the innovation and its advantages over the state of the art are described in more detail below using the attached schematic drawings. They show:

Figure 1 is a vertical section view showing a "TRITTICO" machine equipped with the device according to the innovation and

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the upper part of the machine of Figure 1.

In the drawings, the laboratory machine in question is designated as 10 and consists of a parallel-flat housing 11 which can be moved on wheels 12.

The machine 10 comprises an upper, vertical tank 13 for pasteurizing the goods and a lower horizontal tank 14 .

Cream production cylinder 14, which is connected to the bottom of the tub via a short pipe bend 15. The product flows from the tub 13 into the cylinder 14 after opening a throttle valve 16, which is operated manually at 28 on the outside of the machine.

Inside the pasteurization tank 13 there is a mixer 17 with blades 19, which respectively sweep the cylindrical inner wall and the bottom of the tank 13.

Heating resistors 20 and a cooling coil 21 are attached to the outside of the tub 13.

The cream production cylinder 14, from which the screw mixer was pulled out, is of course also provided with a cooling system (not shown).

According to the innovation, the laboratory machine described above is characterized in that it is equipped with a total of 22 hexelnhno^on Vnf»r»i rth"htir\er fiiiaeraWlaf ef &Lgr; ef H^ &agr; Al &lgr;SV%4-«*aHm&

of the mixture processed in the tank 13 and pouring it into a container 27 outside the machine, bypassing the horizontal cylinder 14.

As can be clearly seen from the drawings, the device 22 comprises a slide channel 23, made for example of plastic, from the upper end of which extends a pin 24 suitable for engaging with a complementary hub 25 provided on the base of the cylinder 14 for supporting the auger mixer (not shown).

Di") inclination and length of the slide 23 are designed so that, after arranging it inside the cylinder 14, and after inserting the pin 24 into the hub 25, the upper end perfectly adjoins the mouth of the tube 15, while its lower end protrudes from the cylinder 14 in the area of the beak 26.

From the above description, it is clear how the device 22 can be attached and used, particularly in a machine of the type described above, after removing the screw mixer, to quickly remove a mixture processed in the pasteurization tank 13 while bypassing the cylinder 14 without soiling the cylinder at all.

This solves the problem of further improving the already very high versatility of the laboratory in question.
