 Apparatus for preparing and distributing fermented diary products

Details

Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Simone; Timothy F.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Darby & Darby

The apparatus comprises a vat having a lateral wall and a bottom for pasteurizing, maturing and maintaining a product. A cover adjacent to the lateral wall and to the bottom controls the temperature of the product present in the vat. A first heat-exchange circuit is defined by the cover and by the vat. A heat-exchange fluid circulates in the first heat-exchange circuit. The first heat-exchange circuit includes a heat generator for the heating of the heat-exchange fluid and includes a first heat exchanger for the cooling of the heat-exchange fluid. A second heat-exchange circuit has a tank. A diathermic liquid circulates in the second heat-exchange circuit. A second heat-exchanger is disposed in the tank, and a refrigeration group is connected, in a heat-exchange relationship, to the second heat-exchanger. The second heat-exchange circuit is connected to the first heat-exchanger by a by-pass conduit parallel to the first heat-exchanger. A first on-off valve is connected to the by-pass conduit and has a second on-off valve connected to an inlet of the first heat-exchanger to selectively control the flow of diathermic liquid passing from the second refrigeration circuit. A cleaning circuit has a cleaning water tub, an inlet, and an outlet communicating respectively with a cleaning water source and a discharge drain. An electronic control system programs and commands the preparation and distribution of the product.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An aim of the present invention, therefore is to provide an apparatus for the preparation of fermented dairy products comprising: a vat for pasteurization, maturation and maintenance of the product; a cover adjacent to the lateral wall and at the bottom of the vat for the control of the temperature of the product present in the vat; a first heat-exchange circuit for heating and cooling the product contained in the vat, including the cover, a heat-exchange fluid circulating in the said first circuit, a heat generator to produce a heating of the heat-exchange liquid, a first heat exchanger to cause a cooling of the heat-exchange liquid; a second heat-exchange circuit for refrigeration, including the first heat-exchanger, a second heat-exchanger, a refrigeration group in a heat-exchange relationship with the second heat-exchanger, a tank for the diathermic liquid circulating in the said second refrigeration circuit between the tank and the first and second heat-exchanger, a by-pass conduit parallel to the first heat-exchanger, a first on-off valve on the by-pass conduit and a second on-off valve on the inlet of the first heat-exchanger, so that by opening the first valve and closing the second valve the diathermic liquid is prevented from passing through the first heat-exchanger in order to effect a heating phase on the product in the vat, while by closing the first on-off valve, and opening the second on-off valve, the diathermic liquid passes through the first heat exchanger to remove heat from the heat exchange liquid in the first heat exchanger and to produce a cooling of the product in the vat; a cleaning circuit comprising a cleaning water tub equipped with an inlet and an outlet respectively communicating with a cleaning water source and a discharge drain, a first conduit placing the washing tub in communication with the inside of the vat, and a second conduit connecting a discharge opening of the vat to the tub; and an electronic control system for programmed command of the pasteurisation, maturation, maintenance and cleaning phases
