AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing methods for measuring ice cream overrun in-line are prone to measurement errors and contamination, and require significant ice cream discard until freezer conditions stabilize, leading to raw material loss.
Method used
A frozen dessert manufacturing apparatus and method that includes a storage tank, freezer, and return piping to recycle aerated liquid back to the storage tank, using control units to calculate and adjust overrun air input based on equations to stabilize overrun value and reduce waste.
Benefits of technology
Reduces raw material loss and stabilizes overrun value by recycling aerated liquid, minimizing excess air introduction and ensuring consistent product quality.

Abstract
To provide an ice cream manufacturing apparatus and an ice cream manufacturing method which can reduce raw materials loss until freezer operating conditions stability and collected ice cream.SOLUTION: An ice cream manufacturing apparatus comprises: a storage tank 2 retaining supplied raw materials mixture; a freezer 4 whipping and freezing process liquid supplied from the storage tank to form creamy process liquid; and a return piping unit 8 which can flow back the process liquid passed through the freezer to be formed to be creamy to the storage tank so that the process liquid is blended with the raw materials mixture in the storage tank. The freezer comprises: an air supply unit 44 feeding air for overruns to the process liquid; a freezing unit 42 freezing the process liquid supplied the air for overruns; and a control unit 45 controlling the input of the air for overruns supplied from the air supply unit to the process liquid.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
