Dispensing group for a machine for dispensing foodstuff creams

An apparatus comprising a dispensing assembly (10) for a dispensing machine (M) for dispensing cream food products and the dispensing machine (M) for dispensing cream food products, the dispensing assembly (10) coupled to the dispensing machine (M), wherein the dispensing machine (M) comprises a pump for generating pressure, and wherein the dispensing assembly (10) comprises:

• a duct unit (2) having a tubular shape so as to define a passage for a cream to be dispensed and defining an inlet section for inlet (2A) and a dispensing section for dispensing (2B) of the cream;
• wherein said duct unit (2) is equipped with a portion (21A) for connection of said duct unit (2) to an outlet duct of said dispensing machine (M) to which a flow of cream under pressure is fed by the pump of said dispensing machine;
• and
• a first valve (4) and a second valve (6), each constituted by a diaphragm openable under pressure, which are set inside said unit at said dispensing section (2B) so as to interrupt dispensing of said cream through said dispensing section (2B) when said first and second valves (4, 6) are in a closed condition;
• wherein said first and second valves (4, 6) are set at a distance from one another and aligned along a longitudinal axis of said dispensing section, thus forming between them a chamber (C), which forms part of said passage defined by said duct unit (2), said chamber being separated from a remaining part of said passage when said first and second valves (4, 6) are in a closed condition so that, in operation, inside said chamber (C) part of a cream contained in said duct unit is withheld and separated when said first and second valves (4, 6) pass from an open condition to a closed condition;
• wherein said portion of said duct unit is a first end (21A), defining said inlet section (2A), and said duct unit further has a second end, defining said dispensing section (2B),
• wherein said first end (21A) is connectable at said portion for connection to said outlet duct of said dispensing machine (M), and
• wherein said first and second valves (4, 6) are positioned closer to said second end (22B) than said first end,
• said assembly comprising a spacer element (8), set between said first and second valves (4, 6), which keeps said first and second valves (4, 6) separated and at a distance from one another.
