- the plunger 33 has a corresponding connection means 34 which has a recess 35 within (not shown in the figure) which fits exactly on the embossment 32.
- the embossment 32 and the recess 35 have a rectangular shape, so that if the embossment 32 is inserted into the recess 35, the rotational force can be transmitted to the scrapers. More generally, the embossment and the recess have to cant with each other to allow for a rotational movement.
- Fig. 11 shows a further embodiment, where the container 20 comprises a recess 37 and the plunger 33 at its end has connected thereto a pivot 36, which fits into the recess 37.

- a rotational movement of the scrapers 24 and in addition also a vertical, i. e. an oscillating movement of the scrapers is described according to a further embodiment of the present invention.
- the scraper is simultaneously oscillated in the direction parallel to the axially linear direction of the scrapers 24 or generally of the processing unit and the container 20.
- the scraper oscillation during rotational scraping is actuated by the spindle which is coupled to a drive system and actuating mechanism such as piezoelectric, magnetical, electrodynamic, mechanical or a reciprocating electric motor .
- the amplitude and frequency of the oscillatory motion are selected to maximize the scraping efficiency of the scraper.
- the preferable amplitude and frequency ranges are 0,01 mm to 25 mm and 50 Hz to 50 kHz respectively.
- the oscillatory movement in addition to the rotational movement has several advantages.
- the oscillation imparted to the blade of the scraper 24 reduces the interfacial coefficient of friction between the blade edge and the scraped surface (on which the frozen confection ingredient particles are formed) .
- This oscillation is beneficial because such high frequency blade vibrations can improve the cutting performance of the blade minimising the unwanted influence of material and fabrication defects in the blade precision and sharpness.
- This increases the efficiency of scraping in terms of process time, particle size distribution, frozen confection quality and energy input .
- the scrapers 24 can be designed in a number of different formats. They can be single or multi bladed, and have different contact angles. Any design which helps maximize the scraping efficiency is possible. In the embodiments shown in the present invention, the scrapers 24 comprise two blades, but the present invention is not limited to the shown embodiments.
- the scrapers or at least a part of the scrapers 24 can be hollow, so that a gaseous phase can be forced through the scrapers.
- the scrapers 24 in this embodiment further have therein small holes, so that through the tiny holes gaseous phase is injected into the frozen confection to maximize the aeration overrun and freezing efficiency.
- the processing unit is a scraper assembly 43.
- the scraper assembly comprises a roundish bottom plate 44, which may have any other shape dependent on the shape of the container 20. Fixedly attached to the bottom plate are scrapers 24.
- the scrapers 24 as previously described are inserted into respective grooves 31 of a disc 30 which by a corresponding connector 28 is connected to the plunger 33.
- the grooves 31 enable an intimate coupling between the disc 30 and the scrapers 24 to allow a rotational as well as a vertical, i. e. axially linear, oscillatory or vibrational movement to be transmitted to the scrapers 24.
- the bottom plate 44 can also be omitted.
- Fig. 13a shows the state where the scraping assembly 43 is used to scrape the ingredients 23 within the container 20.
- a dispensing mechanism can be activated as shown in fig. 13b.
- the plunger 33 is pushed into a direction parallel to the scrapers 24, in direction of the bottom of the container 20, where the opening 38 is provided, and as indicated by arrow F in the figures. Since the scrapers 24 can slide along the grooves 31 within the disc 30, i.e. the precision grooves 31 allow a scraper passage, the scrapers 24 mainly remain in the same position within the container and the disc 30 slides along the scrapers 24 so as to push the prepared frozen confection out of the container.
- Fig. 13c shows a second embodiment of a processing unit with a scraper assembly 43, in which a central screw thread 54 runs along the central axis of the container and is used to guide the disc 30 from the top of the container 20 to the bottom, where the opening 38 is provided, and as indicated by arrow G in the figure.
- a connector 28 is attached to the disc 30 (and therefore attached thereto the scrapers 24) .
- the disc 30 has a central thread which sits on the unthreaded part of the central screw thread 54 on top of the container 20 but is not engaged to it. With this connection a rotational movement can be transferred to the disc 30 and therefore to the scraper assembly 43.
- a dispensing mechanism can be activated by pushing the disc 30 further down and engaging the central screw thread 54. Once this is done, a unidirectional rotation by connector 28 will force the disc 30 also to rotate and move along and down the central screw thread 54 towards the opening 38 so as to push the prepared frozen confection out of the container.
- Alternative dispensing mechanisms are to provide an inflatable bag on top of the container, which by the aeration system 8 can be inflated.
- pressurized air can be inserted into the container to force the prepared frozen confection out of the container 20.
- the container holder 15 within the device 1 will be explained.
- the container holder 15 has a shape being adapted to the shape of the container 20, i.e. a shape which prior to processing allows the container 20 to rest tightly on the container holder 15.
- the container 20 has a cylindrical shape and consequently also the container holder 15 has a cylindrical shape which allows to tightly wrap the container 20.
- Fig. 14a shows a first embodiment of a container holder 15 according to the present invention.
- the container holder 15 is made of one piece.
- the container holder 15 is a heat exchanger that comprises a wall 46 surrounding the container holder 15 and along this wall channels 45 are running vertically along the length of the container holder 15.
- the design of the channels 45 allows for maximum heat transfer rates.
- the heat exchange surface is the internal surface of the container holder 15.
- the cooling, e. g. fluid, or evaporating refrigerant gas flows along these channels 45 at very low temperatures.
- the surface of the channels 45 comprises, but not limited to a rough surface in order to make refrigerant flow turbulent and thus enhance heat transfer. Heat is taken up due to the refrigerant's change of state caused by the low pressure in the heat exchanger, and consequently the low temperature.
- the low temperature of the heat exchanger is driving the exchange of heat from ingredients 23 to the refrigerant.
- Liquid refrigerant is preferably, but not limited to, injected at the bottom of the heat exchanger, whereas the refrigerant in the state of vapour is removed from the top of the heat exchanger.
- an automatic defrosting mechanism is provided by means of a reversible and controllable hot gas defrost valve which allows just sufficient quantities of hot gas from the cooling system 9 to be forced into the hollow channels of the container holder such that the temperature of the heat exchange surface is raised to a predetermined temperature and the surface is defrosted.
- thermoelectric Peltier
- an automatic electronic switch will reverse the polarity of the electric circuit powering the thermoelectric devices such that cool and hot -sides of the devices are reversed and the cool-side of the thermoelectric devices becomes the hot-side and the hot- side becomes cold-side such that the temperature of the heat exchange surface is raised to a predetermined temperature and the surface is defrosted.
- the frosting plate 53 is placed at the bottom section of the container holder 15 to prevent frosting of the main heat exchanger surfaces .
- Fig. 14b shows a second embodiment of a container holder heat exchanger according to the present invention with an alternative cooling system based on a thermoelectric peltier system.

- Fig. 15 shows a preferred embodiment of a container holder 15 according to the present invention. This embodiment is also shown in a perspective view in fig. 16.
- the container holder 15 comprises two portions, e.g. two hemisphere parts, which are connected via a corresponding hinge 47 and can be moved in relation to each other so as to open and close the container holder 15. This facilitates the insertion of a container 20.
- an opening and closing mechanism is required.
- a pin 49 within holes 48 of the two parts of the container holder 15 is provided which allows to reduce the gap 50 between the two parts of the container holder 15 and to squeeze the container 20 within the container holder 15.
- the container holder 15 has several advantages. Due to the design of the container holder 15 and the heat transfer unit (evaporator) a minimum mass and a maximum primary surface for heat transfer are provided. The preferably rough surface, where the refrigerant is in contact with the internal finned channels of the capsule holder 15, ensures a maximum heat transfer due to turbulent flow. The design further allows a low pressure drop and a generous volume for the refrigerant .
- Fig. 17 shows an image series of an example how the different steps for preparing a frozen confection could be accomplished.
- a container 20 which preferably comprises a removable and/or aseptic, preferably tamper evident seal (peel-off) 51 which as shown in image b) can be removed to reveal the connector 28.
- the seal 51 preferably is a hygienic tear-off seal revealing the connector 28.
- the connector 28 has a corresponding design to deliver the rotational movement, and in a preferred embodiment the rotational together with the oscillatory movement, to the scrapers 24.
- the plunger 33 is then connected to the connector 28 so that as shown in image d) the rotational force can be transmitted to the scrapers 24.
- the ingredients 23 when being cooled and rotated then result in the final frozen confection 52 and is ready.
- the dispensing mechanism is activated by pushing the disc 30 into a direction towards the opening 38 of the container 20 so as to dispense the prepared frozen confection 52.
- Fig. 18 shows a flow chart with an overview over the different steps for preparing a frozen confection 52 according to the present invention.

- step S7 the opening unit 4, if present, can be activated in order to open the container 20.
- this step can also be omitted and accomplished manually by a customer.
- step S8 the dispensing unit 5 is then activated and in the following step S9 the frozen confection 52 is dispensed from the container 20.
- the plunger 33 which previously delivered the movement to the scrapers 24 now acts as dispenser forcing the frozen confection 52 through the opening 38.
- step SlO the empty container 20 is then removed from the device 1.
- a defrosting step SIl can be accomplished by activating the defrosting system, if present. This has the advantage that it is assured that there is no frosting on the container holder surface in readiness to receive the next container.
- the defrosting step can also be provided between or during other steps and/or between or during a plurality of steps. But in the preferred embodiment defrosting is accomplished after each production cycle.
