The low energy impact kitchen system is designed for environments lacking traditional resources, such as remote or extraterrestrial locations. It features a compact design suitable for limited spaces and aims to optimize energy consumption. The system includes a standing area for users and a surrounding working area equipped with various operational units to handle food preparation and auxiliary tasks.
The kitchen system incorporates a distribution unit for controlled storage and release of ingredients, a multifunction unit for mixing, chopping, and induction cooking, and additional units for thermal treatment and auxiliary operations. It also includes specialized devices like a pasta maker, ohmic heating units, pressing units for grinding, and essential appliances like dishwashers and refrigerators.
A notable feature is the plant-growing area that operates without soil, using hydroponic, aquaponic, or aeroponic methods. This setup eliminates the need for washing water, thus conserving resources. The distribution unit is designed with vertical columns containing compartments that dispense ingredients in precise doses.
The multifunction unit allows simultaneous or separate operations such as mixing, chopping, and cooking. It includes independent operating stations with induction heating plates and hoods equipped with mixing blades. The system's modular design allows customization by adding or removing components based on specific needs.
The system supports automatic pasta preparation through its pasta making device, which requires minimal manual input. Ohmic heating devices provide efficient container heating for sterilization or immediate consumption. The pressing unit processes cereals and seeds into flour and oil, enhancing the system's versatility.
