摘要:
Chocolate moulding production line (1) with an endless conveyor (2) for the transportation of mould plates (3) sliding in a guide (4) and a moulding station (7) with at least one separate plunger plate (8;9) carrying a plurality of plungers (10;11) as well as a depositor (13). Lifting means (12) is arranged in the moulding station (7) under the mould plates (8 or 9) and being adapted to lift up the mould plates (3) into engagement with the plunger plates (8;9) during moulding of the chocolate articles. The at least one plunger plate (8;9) is permanently fixed in a horizontally movable carrier (20), which is arranged slidable on track means (21), and the lifting means (12) is arranged in the carrier (20).
摘要:
Apparatus (1) for depositing edible mass, comprising an elongated trough (2) and at least one roller (7;8) arranged longitudinally in the trough (2) for transporting the mass in direction against the bottom (9) of the trough (2). Dosing means (3) extends longitudinally at the bottom (9) of the trough (2). The dosing means (3) comprises only one single, longitudinally extending shaft (10), and at least one cylindrical dosing means chamber (11), in which is arranged a disc-shaped rotor (16) formed as a wave-shaped displacer being rotated by the single, longitudinally extending shaft (10).
摘要:
Plungers (24) having a pressing surface (27) onto which no lubricant is applied are immersed into contact with corresponding covering layers (19) of chocolate mass thereby being pressed into shape. The temperature of the pressing surfaces (27) is kept below the solidification temperature of the chocolate mass during the pressing. The chocolate rapidly solidifies under crystallisation from its surface in contact with the pressing surface of the plunger and inwardly through the chocolate layer. Contamination of the plungers and the edible chocolate articles with lubricant remains is completely avoided and the surfaces of the covering layers are simply an identical "print" of the geometry of the plunger surface.

Plungers (11) having a pressing surface (14) onto which no lubricant is applied are immersed into contact with tempered chocolate mass (6) in corresponding moulds (7), the chocolate thereby being pressed into shells (20). The temperature of the pressing surfaces (14) are kept below the solidification temperature of the chocolate mass during the pressing. The chocolate rapidly solidifies under crystallisation from its surface in contact with the pressing surface (14) of the plunger and inwardly through the chocolate layer. Contamination of the plungers (11) and the edible chocolate articles with lubricant remains is completely avoided and the inner surfaces of the shells are simply identical "prints" of the geometry of the plunger surfaces (14).
摘要:
Apparatus (1) for continuous tempering of chocolate butter-containing or other fat-containing chocolate mass comprising at least one mass chamber (2) having a disc-shaped stirring tool (5). The stirring tool (5) comprises two opposite stirring wings (9, 9') and an intermediary disc element (10). Hereby is obtained an apparatus having a disc-shaped stirring element and which is easy as well as economical to produce. Only the stirring wings are needed to be finished so that they suits together with the opposite walls of the mass chamber.
摘要:
The invention concerns a system for the production of shells of confectionery mass in particular tempered chocolate like mass comprising at least one cooling member having a shape corresponding to the internal shape of the shell, means adapted to control the temperature of the at least one cooling member to below the solidification point of the mass, a vessel adapted to contain liquid confectionery mass, and means to control the up and down movement of the at least one cooling member into the liquid mass and up again through an orifice. Suitable masses for the system are tempered chocolate-like mass, chewing gum mass and toffee mass.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for continuously tempering, a fat-containing, chocolate-like mass. The mass as subjected to a primary cooling (C1), a subsequent secondary cooling (C2) creating stable crystals in the mass, and a final reheating (H). The temperature of cooling medium performing the primary cooling (C1) is controlled to be higher than the temperature of cooling medium performing the secondary cooling (C2) for any values of those temperatures. This could be effected by measuring the temperature of the cooling medium performing the secondary cooling continuously, and regulating the temperature of the cooling medium entering the primary section (C2) to be higher by electronic means such as a computer. It could also be effected by connecting the outlet 11 of the secondary section (C2) with the inlet (12) of the primary section (C1). Surprisingly, the amount of stable crystals in the tempered mass is kept at a required, constant portion as creation of crystals is excluded in the primary section (C1), and therefore is limited to the secondary section (C2) in which it may be readily controlled.
摘要:
A method and a system having means for producing articles of fat-containing, chocolate-like mass in a continuous production-plant (1) having throughgoing conveying means (2) for mould elements with mould cavities. The production-plant (1) comprises steps of initial filling of mould cavities with liquid mass, cooling of the articles, and releasing the articles from the mould cavities. The number of mould elements per time unit leaving the cooling step are regulated to deviate from the number of mould elements per time unit entering the cooling step. The advantage is, that it is possible to regulate the residence time for a certain mould element in a cooling step without changing the residence time in the steps being in front of the cooling step. A manufacturer of chocolate articles is thereby provided an easy way of adapting the cooling time to the specific article being produced without influencing other steps of the production.
