Abstract
Systems and methods for producing chocolate shells by immersing a core into a liquid filled mold cavity. The temperature of the core member is controlled. A mold-cavity closure extends peripherally around the core member in closing engagement with the mold. The closure is axially movable in relation to the core member. The core member is immersed fully into the liquid mass and pressed in a direction against the mold cavity by a load means to build up pressure in the chocolate mass. Also disclosed is the above mentioned cavity closure which is axially movable in relation to, and connected to, the core.
Claims23
A system for the production of shells of fat-containing, chocolate-like masses, comprising more than one mould cavity to receive the mass and more than one core member to be immersed into the mass, the core members being independently suspended from a holding device.
A holding device for a system for the production of shells of fat-containing, chocolate-like masses, said system comprising more than one mould cavity, the holding device comprises independently suspended core members.
