Injection molding system for a fat-containing product

An injection molding system for chocolate, the injection molding system comprising:

• an injector fastened to a chamber for the chocolate, the injector comprising an injection channel, wherein the injector extends through a heating plate positioned beneath the chamber and a cooling plate positioned beneath the heating plate, wherein a transit area is defined between the heating plate and the cooling plate;
• at least one heating element at least partially disposed inside of the injector adjacent to the injection channel;
• a convex die connected to a lower surface of the cooling plate, the convex die configured to pair with a concave die that receives the chocolate from the injector, the injector being at least partially disposed in a central hole defined by the cooling plate and in a cavity defined by the convex die, wherein an insulation space is at least partially defined between the convex die and the injector;
• a baffle at least partially disposed in the central hole of the cooling plate and positioned between the injector and the cooling plate, wherein the baffle extends into the insulation space between the injector and the convex die;
• and
• a gas insulating system comprising an inlet and an outlet, the inlet defined between a first side of the baffle and the injector, and the outlet defined between a second side of the baffle and the cooling plate, the inlet in fluid communication with the insulation space, the insulation space in fluid communication with the outlet, the outlet in fluid communication with the transit area, and the transit area in fluid communication with a cooling hole that extends through the cooling plate to the concave die,
• wherein an insulating gas received via the inlet is conveyed along the insulation space to the outlet to cool the convex die, and the insulating gas received by the transit area from the outlet flows through the cooling hole and onto the concave die to cool the concave die.
