Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems for producing whipped food product. The systems include a compressor having an inlet that receives ambient air and an outlet that provides pressurized ambient air. The systems include a first disconnect coupling coupled to the compressor to receive pressurized ambient air. The systems include a charger. The charger includes a container having a chamber for holding food product, a second disconnect coupling in fluid communication with the chamber and couplable to the first disconnect coupling to provide pressurized ambient air to the chamber from first disconnect coupling, a dispense valve, and a nozzle connected to the dispense valve.
Claims19
A system for producing whipped food product, the system comprising:
- a compressor having an inlet that receives ambient air and an outlet that provides pressurized ambient air;
- a first disconnect coupling coupled to the compressor to receive the pressurized ambient air;
- and
- a charger comprising:
- a container having a chamber for holding a food product,
- a second disconnect coupling in fluid communication with the chamber and couplable to the first disconnect coupling to provide the pressurized ambient air to the chamber from first disconnect coupling,
- a dispense valve, and
- a nozzle connected to the dispense valve.
A method for producing whipped food product, the method comprising:
- placing food product into a chamber of a charger;
- connecting the charger to a filling station;
- providing pressurized ambient air to the chamber of the charger with the filling station;
- disconnecting the charger from the filling station;
- and
- dispensing a whipped food product from a nozzle of the charger by actuating a dispense valve of the charger.
