Abstract
A machine (1) for processing a liquid food substance (10) includes: a container (2) having an outside wall (2″) and In delimiting a food cavity (2′) for containing the food substance (10); an impeller (20) for driving the food substance (10) in the cavity (2′); a housing (3) having an outside wall and delimiting a powered cavity (3′) that is adjacent the container (2) and that contains a motor (30) for driving the impeller (20) and a thermal conditioner (40) for managing heat in the food cavity (2′); and a control unit (31) for controlling the impeller motor (30) and the thermal conditioner (40). The thermal conditioner (40) has different first and second sections (41,42) extending over different first and sections of the outside housing wall (3″″). The first and second conditioner sections (41,42) are configured to generate different levels of thermal energy per cm2. The first and second housing sections are adjacent to and extend over respective distinct first and second outside container wall sections (21,22) and/or form therewith a same first wall section and a same second wall section distinct from the same first wall section.
