Definitions

  • the present invention relates to beverage dispensers preparing blended iced beverages (frappe, smoothie) from beverage ingredient, water and ice.
  • frappe or smoothie beverages are prepared by introducing ice cubes or ice cream and a beverage in the vessel of a blender. After mixing until the right texture is obtained the resulting beverage is poured from the blender in a cup by reversing the blender vessel upside down.
  • Some automatic machines re-use the principle of well-known blenders that is a vessel with an opened top to introduce ingredients and mixing blades at the bottom of the vessel. Yet, the drawbacks of these machines remains the dispensing and the cleaning since the vessel must be put upside down for dispensing the ice beverage and rinsing water must be introduced inside the vessel and then the vessel must be put upside down again to throw water away before it is reintroduced inside the machine.
  • WO 2010/082185 has proposed a solution to automatize this cleaning operation, yet the machine becomes rather complicated and the foot print of such a machine occupies a large space.
  • WO 2017/059483 discloses such a machine with a blending chamber comprising a bendable spout attached to the bottom outlet of the blending vessel.
  • Such a blending unit enables the preparation of iced beverages that can flow easily along the lateral wall of the vessel and through the long spout, that is beverage presenting a rather liquid texture. But when frappe beverages with a certain thickness or viscosity are prepared, it becomes impossible to dispense the beverage, an important part sticking to the walls of the vessel and remaining in the spout.
