A machine () for processing a liquid food substance () includes: a container () having an outside wall (″) and In delimiting a food cavity (') for containing the food substance (); an impeller () for driving the food substance () in the cavity (′); a housing () having an outside wall and delimiting a powered cavity (′) that is adjacent the container () and that contains a motor () for driving the impeller () and a thermal conditioner () for managing heat in the food cavity (′); and a control unit () for controlling the impeller motor () and the thermal conditioner (). The thermal conditioner () has different first and second sections () extending over different first and sections of the outside housing wall (″″). The first and second conditioner sections () are configured to generate different levels of thermal energy per cm. The first and second housing sections are adjacent to and extend over respective distinct first and second outside container wall sections () and/or form therewith a same first wall section and a same second wall section distinct from the same first wall section.

Adjusted thermal generation for food processing

A machine () for processing a liquid food substance () includes: a container () delimiting a food cavity (') for containing said liquid food substance (); an impeller () for driving the food substance () in the food cavity (′); a housing () delimiting a powered cavity (′) that is adjacent the container (). The powered cavity (′) contains: a motor () for driving the impeller (); a heat evacuation system () for evacuating heat from the powered cavity (′) to a space () outside such machine (), comprising a motorized ventilation arrangement (); and a control unit (). The motorized ventilation arrangement has a first ventilation device () driven by the impeller motor (). Further to the first ventilation device () and to the impeller motor (), the motorized ventilation arrangement comprises a second ventilation device () and a further motor () that is different to the impeller motor (), the further motor () being controlled by the control unit () to drive the second ventilation device ().

Controlled heat management for food processor

A machine () for processing a liquid food substance includes: a jug () having a container () and delimiting a food cavity (') for containing the liquid food substance; and a base () that has one or more walls () forming a seat (′) for removably receiving the container (). The base () and the jug () comprise or delimit, respectively, an off-centred projecting member () and a corresponding off-centred seat () for the projecting member () or vice versa. The off-centred seat () is configured to receive the projecting member () when the container () is received by the base seat (′) such that the container () is in place for processing the liquid food substance. The off-centred projecting member () is configured to maintain the container () off its place for processing the liquid food substance in the cavity (′) when the projecting member () is off-set relative to the off-centred seat ().

Controlled positioning in food processor

A machine for processing a liquid food substance includes a jug that has a container and a handle for holding the jug by an adult human hand. The container delimits a food cavity for containing the food substance. The handle has a connection member projecting from the container and a substantially elongated upright gripping member that is connected to the connection member at a distance from the container. The gripping member has an upper portion that is above the connection member and a lower portion that is below the connection member. The upper portion is configured to support a thumb of the hand and delimits with the connection member an upper seat for accommodating an index finger of the hand.

Handling of food processor

A machine () for processing a liquid food substance includes: a jug () having a container () and delimiting a food for containing the liquid food substance; and a base () that has one or more walls () forming a seat (′) for removably receiving the container (). The base () and/or the container () has one or more thermally insulating spacers () spacing the base wall(s) () from thermally conditioned outside container wall(s) () when the container () is received in or on the seat (′) so as to prevent or inhibit thermal transfer from the container () into the base () via the base wall(s) () from the container wall(s) () adjacent the base wall(s) ().

Heat management for food processor

A machine () for processing a liquid food substance incorporates: a container () delimiting a cavity (') for containing said liquid food substance; an impeller () for driving the liquid food substance in the container (); a motor () for driving the impeller (); a motor chamber () for containing the motor (); and a means for evacuating heat from the motor chamber (). Such means comprises one or more movable members () that are driven by the motor () and that are configured to circulate air () in the motor chamber () to evacuate heat therefrom.

A machine () for stirring a liquid food substance has: a container () delimiting a cavity () with a bottom () and a peripheral wall () for containing the liquid food substance to be stirred; an impeller () comprising an impelling member () which is configured to be rotated in the cavity (), the impeller () including an arrangement of driven magnetic elements () in the form of permanent magnets; and a motor () having an output shaft () that is magnetically coupled to the impelling member () via the container bottom () and/or peripheral wall () for driving the impelling member (), the output shaft () driving an arrangement of driving magnetic elements (') that cooperate magnetically with the driven magnetic elements () so as to drive the impeller () in rotation. One of the driven magnetic elements () is positioned to: generally face a first driving magnetic element () in a generally attraction orientation relative to said one driven magnetic element (), the first driving magnetic element () driving this one driven magnetic element () in rotation; and be off-set relative to a second driving magnetic element (&#x2032;) in a generally repulsion orientation relative to the one driven magnetic element (), the second magnetic element (&#x2032;) driving the one driven magnetic element () in rotation.
