for Manuf acture Of Ice Cream.
In the ice cream factory of A. II. |
Ives2a machine has been set up within
the last two weeks which when placed
on the market will completely revolu-
,tionize the manufacture of ice cream.
1T will not only be an immense saving
in labor and in power, but it will do
cream from the time it is mixed until
the time it is taken out Of the brick
sor large freezer where it is to be used.
The inventor of the machine, and he
now holds a patent on it as well as
three or four others which assist in
the bt m9sangfaHturne young f man OF
Of the Ives factory.
Mr.. Dunno has been interested in the
manufacture Of ice cream since he was
a boy of 9.SHis mother was then taken
ill and he was obliged to quit school
and to support his mother and little
sister. Fho he was unable to devote
his daytime to obtaining an education,
the night, schools of Armour's Insti-
obtained a thoro training. Four
months Of each year Mr.. Dunno has
been engaged in the manufacture of ice
cream. From the beginning he has
| disapproved Of the handling Of the
cream, but he saw no way to avoid it.
About six years ago he began studying
about the freezer which he has just
patented. The first experiments which
he made with the machine took place
in Indian Territory at Tishomingo in
1901. Since that time he has worked
at it INCREASINGLY and has at last
brought it to the perfection where he
is willing to put it on the market.
Mr.. Dune wants to start factory
for the manufacture of the machines,
Minneapolis he would very much prefer
to remain. here. If he cannot get the
I financial support he will leave this fall
/ for Chicago where he will organize a
company and start a factory. The ma
chine, which was made here, has de-
monstrated it's practical value while
working in the factory. It holds
ket will command the price of 5000.
Freezers having capacity Of fifty gal
Ions and 100 will be manufactured, and
they will come at cost Of 5000 and
$1,000 apiece.
~ Mixture Kept Moving.
The machine is about ffty.four
inches wide and five feet, three inches
long. The brine and ice are placed in
cylinder for the cream, whose outside
diameter is twenty-four inches. The
freezing solution is stirred by q paddle
I and kept in constant motion SO that in
stead Of the cylinder itself moving, the
motion is on the outside Of it: On
one side Of the cylinder is the ice, on
the paddle side the brine, which is kept
lxls j l., Il, Saa T.,
this way the full4valuesis gotten out of
7! the ice and the brine is not wasted.
From the ten-gallon freezers, the largest
4 now on the market, the brine must be
turned off. The old way it takes if
teen minutes and a 211b horsepower to
freeze ten gallons, in the new way it
takes the same power and with the
present machine twenty minutes to
i freeze twenty gallons with about one
third of the same salt and ice.
l y Either the calcium freezing system OF
9 the ammonia system can be used in the
tank in place Of the salt and water.
When the cream has been frozen, the
heads of the cylinder, connected by the
dasher, are moved forward, thereby
emptying the contents into the zinc vat
below. There is an opening at the
bottom Of the vat, where the cream car
} be put into the smaller freezers. For.
} merly a man had to lift out the large
freezer, with his fingers wipe the cream
from dasher, then dip the cream from
the larger freezer TO. the smaller ones
BY the new method in a large factory
about nine mems work could be done
by one, and the same work accom-
) p1ished as quickly and by more hygienit
means. las-s r.
To connect with this machine Mr.
Dunno has taken out patents on mixel
and feeder. This machine is placed OF
' the floor directly over the freezer anc

also works automatically and by pull

also taken out a patent on system o.
knives he has invented which cut tn
the large slabs Of cream into brick
much more rapidly and with much les
