Abstract
A product preparation system and method wherein a single-use product container assembly, including a cup body and a cup closure, the cup closure including a rotatable blade, and a container processor including a container support and an electric motor including a drive shaft are employed to process contents of the container assembly.
Claims18
A container suitable for machine processing of contents thereof in an upside-down orientation by a container contents processor, the container including:
- a cup body;
- and
- a cup closure configured for operative engagement with the cup body, the cup closure including a single-use cover seal and externally rotatably drivable rotary engagement assembly (SUCSERDREA), the SUCSERDREA including:
- a cover;
- a lid, fixedly connected to the cover;
- and
- a container contents processor drivable, rotatable blade configured to be located within the cup body, the rotatable blade being arranged for rotation with respect to the cover, the rotatable blade including a rotatable static sealing portion;
- said lid and said rotatable blade interacting to prevent leakage from said cup body when said container assembly is in said upside-down orientation by:
- defining a seal having a first static sealing operative orientation, when the rotatable blade is not in rotation, and a second dynamic sealing operative orientation, different from the first static sealing operative orientation, when the rotatable blade is in rotation.
