Abstract
A machine intended for cooling and draining contents of a metal beverage can comprising a refrigerated housing intended to receive a can; a tube projecting into the refrigerated housing and defining a bore. The machine further includes a removable subassembly including a stirrer mounted to slide with respect to the tube to pass through the bore between an upper position in which the stirrer projects above the upper edge of the tube and a position in which the stirrer is set back with respect to the upper edge of the tube; a duct having an outlet orifice and an inlet orifice communicating with the bore; a plug blocking or opening selectively the outlet orifice of the duct.
Claims16
A machine (1) for cooling and draining contents of a metal beverage can (9), the machine comprising:
- a refrigerated housing (120) to receive the can;
- a tube (141) projecting into the refrigerated housing (120) and defining a bore (142);
- a removable subassembly (5) including:
- a rotatable stirrer (3) mounted to slide with respect to the tube (141) to pass through the bore (142) between an upper position in which the stirrer projects above an upper edge of the tube and a position in which the stirrer is set back with respect to the upper edge of the tube;
- a duct (31) having an outlet orifice (312) and an inlet orifice (311) communicating with the bore;
- a plug (4) blocking or opening selectively the outlet orifice of the duct.
