Description

Tetrabrik® milk and bottle warmer Other drinks

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a heater to heat tetrabrik® containers of milk or other beverages such as chocolate, broths or any other product you wish to drink hot and packed in brik®.

The heater is basically constituted by a body with cavities or slits to place packages of liquids packed in tetrabrik complementing with a handle which will be placed in the brik® for when the liquid is hot it will can deposit directly from the brik® container to the cup of coffee or any other container to which the liquid will be added heated by the heater, without having to use another container other than the tetrabrik® container itself.

The heater to heat the package or container tetrabrik® has a series of rectangular cavities where you can place and attach the tetrabrik®, being able to have from one or two cavities up to six or more, depending on what is demanded by the client.

The most common will be the heaters of three or six cavities, these constituted in an aluminum or other material material that accumulates heat very well. The heater includes a internal resistance to heat the material containing the cavities and can heat the liquid contained in the container tetrabrik® when deposited inside the cavity. Too the heater has a thermal temperature regulator that deactivates when the cavity has the set temperature and it will activate when the set temperature drops.

Background of the invention

To heat milk or other products liquids in the hospitality industry, milk thermoses are known conventional where the liquid is deposited inside, and by means of a tap is taken out or extracted milk or any liquid that the thermos It contains inside.

It is also usually heated milk, chocolate or other products, with a jug where the liquid is deposited and the operator introduces the jug into the lance of the vaporizer that they have the professional espresso coffee makers, which fundamentally by means of the hot steam and under pressure they heat the liquid that vaporize

While these ways of heating milk or others products for which they have been planned are minutes, presented as fundamental problems the discomfort of having to heat the milk or other products in a thermos with many liters without knowing how long are these liters going to be, within the milk milks or thermos, as well as the main problem that is hygiene or rather the lack of hygiene of these devices, since if it is not preserved always very clean the bake-milk or thermos and leaves refilling without cleaning it, you can have milk problems overheated or spoiled milk, which is not in good conditions, because milk is a very perishable product and therefore the containers that contain it need a lot of cleaning in the hospitality, which sometimes does not happen.

On the other hand, the decision to heat the milk or other products with the coffee lance steam lance espresso coffee professionals in establishments or bars, if well this system is suitable for what has been conceived, it is no less true that it presents many problems of quality and hygiene, because the milk is deposited in a jar and when the vaporizer acts always some water comes out and as it is used many times at final milk usually has water, although the biggest problem is the hygienic because the vaporizer always needs to be very clean every once it is used, but this does not happen and usually clean with the same cloth as the bar or counter, Unhygienic fact. Sometimes you can see the spear of the vaporizers with a crusted milk that is a sign of the shortage of cleaning the steam lance, as it is not usually cleaned every time it is used with a clean cloth.

Similarly, this system by which heats the milk with the vaporizer also creates many problems technicians, since every time a jug of milk is heated or another liquid, when closing the vaporizer the closing solenoid valve absorbs liquid in and at the end all that milk liquid or other products end up in the water in the kettle boiler or obstructing the steam outlet from the part that has holes, and which is called in professional acorn slang. It also happens that When milk or other product is heated with the vaporizer, no the desired temperature to heat the liquid is calculated, with which can often be seen by the manipulator putting his hand on the jug to feel the heat of milk or other liquid.

Description of the invention

The heater to heat directly tetrabrik® packages that the invention proposes, resolves satisfactorily the problems of quality, hygiene and use that they give in the systems used so far, since the heater directly heats tetrabrik® in the cavities of which available, being able to program the desired temperature and pouring the liquid already hot directly from the tetrabrik® to the cup, glass or any other container, thanks to the handles that owns and that adapt to tetrabrik®.

For this and more specifically, the heater of heating liquid tetrabrik® packages comprises one, two or three cavities in which a package of milk or any other liquid in tetrabrik® so that it is heated in The same container. By having several cavities can be used several brik® with different products, such as whole milk, semi-skimmed or skimmed, with which the client may demand milk or other product that you want to drink hot at the moment.

The heater to heat liquid packs packaged in tetrabrik® has several cavities to place the packages, these being related to a designed handle to take out the package and make brik® itself a direct jug to dump the hot liquid. The heater is materialized in aluminum or other material that perfectly accumulates heat, including a resistance inside the material and a lamp which indicates when the heater is connected to the power electric It also includes a wheel that does the functions of temperature programmer, marking from 40º to 90º and that will set the temperature by activating and deactivating the resistance to keep the temperature unchanged. Also has a heater on and off button, with a fuse inside to prevent bad connections, because if there were any shorted connection will turn off the heater, being able to Activate manually by solving the bad connection. In the back of the tetrabrik® container heater there is a hose with a power outlet for network connection.

The heater described may be embedded and form a compact body within the coffee maker structure professional express, thus occupying less space in the bars of Hospitality establishments.

The heater can also be complemented with a small compressor to allow you to reverse your function of generate heat, and continue to maintain, by fixing that compressor, cold liquids contained in packages or containers of tetrabrik®.
