Container for food processing system
A container configured for use with a food processing system includes a container body configurable with a food processing base. The container body includes an interior wall and an exterior wall arranged in contact at a first end. The interior wall and the exterior wall are formed from a single piece of non-resilient material. A chamber is defined by the container body. A collar is mounted to the first end of the container body to form a seal between the collar and the contact between the interior wall and the exterior wall.
1. A container configured for use with a food processing system, comprising:
a container body configured to be removably coupled with a food processing base, the container body including an interior wall and an exterior wall arranged in contact at a first end, said interior wall and said exterior wall being formed from a single piece of non-resilient material,
a chamber defined by said container body; and
a collar mounted to said first end of said container body to form a seal between said collar and said contact between said interior wall and said exterior wall, wherein said collar includes a plurality of outwardly extending engagement members for securing the container to a base of the food processing system and an interior of said collar is configured to removably couple to a cutting assembly to seal said chamber of said container body.
2. The container according to claim 1 , wherein said collar includes an annular undercut and said first end of said container body includes an annular protrusion, said annular protrusion being complementary to and receivable within said annular undercut.
3. The container according to claim 2 , wherein said undercut of said collar is configured to shrink over said protrusion by being heated prior to being connected to the container.
4. The container according to claim 1 , wherein said collar is formed from a plastic material.
5. The container according to claim 1 , wherein said collar includes a coupling mechanism for securing said container to said cutting assembly.
6. The container according to claim 5 , wherein said coupling mechanism is formed about an interior surface of said collar.
7. The container according to claim 1 , wherein said collar is directly coupled to said first end.
8. The container according to claim 1 , wherein said collar includes at least one protrusion extending from an interior wall of the collar.
9. The container according to claim 1 , wherein a space is formed between at least a portion of said interior wall and said exterior wall.
10. The container according to claim 9 , wherein said space is filled with an insulating material.
11. The container according to claim 1 , wherein said container body further comprises a pressure relief mechanism configured to reduce a pressure of said chamber when said pressure exceeds a defined pressure threshold.
12. The container according to claim 11 , wherein said defined pressure threshold is between 2 and 7 psi.
13. The container according to claim 11 , wherein said pressure relief mechanism is configured to deform when said pressure within said chamber exceeds said defined pressure threshold.
