A machine () for homogenising a food substance has: a container () with a side wall () and a bottom wall () delimiting a cavity ('); an impeller () with an impelling member () forming an impelling surface (&#x2032;) that is drivable in rotation (r) about a central axial direction (&#x2032;) of the impelling surface (&#x2032;&#x2033;) for imparting a mechanical effect to the food substance; and a module () which has a housing means (&#x2032;) that contains an inner chamber () and that delimits a seat () for the container (), the chamber () containing an electric motor (). The electric motor () has an output drive axis (&#x2032;) with a driver device (&#x2033;) configured to drive a follower device () of the impeller (). The driver device (&#x2033;) and the follower device () are magnetically coupled through a sidewall () and/or bottom wall () of the container (). The driver device (&#x2033;) comprises a ferromagnetic or magnetic field-generating element () that is arranged to be magnetically coupled to a corresponding ferromagnetic or magnetic field-generating element () of the follower device (). The follower device () extends over a predominant part of the bottom wall () of the container () or across a substantial part of the wall () along a diameter thereof. The driver device () extends over a predominant part of a bottom part of the seat () or across a substantial part of the bottom part of the seat () along a diameter thereof. The ferromagnetic and magnetic field generating elements () are positioned at extremal or peripheral parts of the follower device () and of the driver device (&#x2033;).

Machine for homogenising a food substance

A machine () for homogenizing a food substance includes a container () delimiting a cavity (') for containing the food substance. The machine has an impeller () with an impelling member () having a generally disc-shaped or conically-shaped impelling surface (&#x2032;&#x2033;) that is drivable in rotation about a central axial direction (&#x2032;) for imparting a mechanical effect to the food substance in the container () to homogenize different phases in the food substance. The impelling member () has at least one opening () which extends through the member () from the impelling surface (&#x2032;&#x2033;) to an opposite surface () of the member ().
