Abstract:
A device for the discontinuous production of ice cream from a liquid mixture (60), having a processing container (10), the processing container having a cooled inner wall and a longitudinal axis (L-L), evenly spaced spatulas (21, 22, 23) with integrated strippers for the repeated application and scraping off of the liquid mixture from the cooled inner wall of the processing container being rotatably maintained in the processing container, as the processing container further having a fill opening (14) for the liquid mixture and a removal opening (15) for delivering the ice cream (70) from the processing container, characterized in that the longitudinal axis (L-L) of the processing container (10) is inclined by a first acute angle (&agr;) in respect to a horizontal line (H), and that the spatulas (21, 22, 23) are designed and held in such a way that their front faces (21C, 22C, 23C) form a second acute angle (&bgr;) with a generating line (Mâ€”M) of the processing container (10) extending parallel with the longitudinal axis (L-L), so that they cause a continuous delivery of the frozen portions (70â€²) to the removal opening (15) arranged at the lowest point of the processing container (10) wherein, because of gravity, these portions (70â€²) fall successively back for the inner wall into the part of the processing container (10) pointing toward the removal opening (15), where they are collected with the still existing rest of liquid mixture (60) and are converted into an ice cream mass (70) in the course of the processing time.
