摘要:
Apparatus and process for coating frozen portions of a foodstuff with a granulated product with a conveyor carrying plates for supporting the portions and adapted to advance stepwise and sequentially to:depositing the granulated product on the plates,positioning the portions on the plates,supplying heat to the surfaces of the portions,coating the portions with granulated product anddischarging the coated portions from the conveyor.
摘要:
Apparatus for applying a liquid coating to food products, including a continuous dipper chain which submerges the food products in the coating liquid. A restraining mechanism in the form of a pressure plate or chain acts upon the tops of the products to maintain them in submerged position during travel through the liquid. In one embodiment the dipper chain is driven intermittently to allow excess liquid on the food products to drain off. A continuous drying chain is provided to carry coated food products along a drying run, a transfer system being employed for moving the food products from the dipper chain to the drying chain. The drying chain is flexible and supported at relatively great intervals to allow the chain to form into peaks and valleys. The food products tip forward and backward in negotiating these peaks and valleys, breaking away the bottoms of the food products and the drying chain and preventing adherence.

The disclosure embraces a method of and apparatus for producing and processing frozen confections or desserts wherein bodies or discs of frozen confection or dessert, such as ice cream, ice milk or other edible material mounted on sticks are advanced through successive stations at which method steps are performed in which a chocolate composition in liquid form is sprayed onto the frozen bodies, the chocolate-coated bodies advanced a sufficient distance whereby the chocolate coating is congealed under the influence of the reduced temperature of the bodies, the coated bodies then subjected to controlled heat to render the chocolate coating in a softened, tacky or viscous condition and advancing the coated bodies through a chamber in which particulate edible materials, such as chopped nuts, nut pieces, fragments of edible cake or the like are impinged against the softened chocolate coating whereby a substantial amount of chopped nuts, nut pieces, cake fragments or the like are adhered to the chocolate coating.
摘要:
The disclosure embraces a method of and apparatus for processing or forming bodies of confections or desserts that become viscous or of paste-like consistency at reduced temperatures such as dairy ingredients including ice cream, ice milk or other edibles such as aerated marshmallow or the like, the bodies of confections being of disc-like configurations having central voids, providing a supply of a mixture embodying a viscous or paste-like edible and fragments of solid edible materials, successively severing metered quantities of the mixture from the supply by a sharp instrumentality, and moving the metered quantities of the mixture by the instrumentality into the central voids of the disc-like bodies.
摘要:
Automatic machine for manufacturing ice creams consisting of a creamy mass or ice block joined to a stick or a cone of edible biscuit material, comprises elastomer moulds deformable under cold conditions to assume two symmetrical concave and convex configurations, and the means for accomplishing said deformation.
