Otto Schaeffer in Stuttgart and Eugen Eppler in Cannstatt. Form arrangement for chocolate and similar masses.

Patented in the German Empire on June 23, 1925.

For molding chocolate, fondant and other liquid, semi-liquid or dough-like masses are machines known in which the mass to be processed into individual, solid forms placed in the machine are filled one after the other. These solid shapes need to be at the end of the knocking table and the cooling or drying track by hand or by special, usually laborious Borrowed, machine devices are emptied and then returned to the filling machine.

It is known to attach individual shapes to endless chains and it has also been proposed to fasten them ^{to a conveyor belt 1 for the rubber shapes previously customary in the manufacture of foundants.}

In contrast, the invention now brings about a significant simplification that instead of these individual forms a flexible

provides the same, endless band, which itself provided with the shapes corresponding depressions is.

The drawing shows in a very schematic way a device according to the invention for chocolate bars.

Fig. Ι shows the overall arrangement schematically.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the tape ίο on a larger scale.

Fig. 3 is a plan of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 shows a side view corresponding to Fig. Ι on a larger scale than Fig. Ι the tape with filling device.
In Fig. Ι the foot or single-sheet machine is indicated at α , the knocking tables at b , c denotes the cooling track and d the conveyor belt that leads to the wrapping machine or the packing box.

ao The shape band has indentations g that correspond to the desired shapes. These depressions can be 'poured in, pressed in, cut into or milled. The tape itself can be made of fabric, paper pulp, rubber or some other flexible compound or a combination of these, and it can be provided with a reinforcement tape / made of other, stronger, possibly inelastic material.
The tape is covered with the mass under the hopper h of the filling, pouring or boarding machine, which is then rolled by the roller i into the mold cavities of the tape, while a fixed or movable knife strips off the excessively rolled-on mass. The band filled in this way moves over the knocking tables b and through the cooling path c. At the end it empties itself in a known manner by bending around the roll of tape and moves back to the filling point α .

It is possible in this way, e.g. B. in connection with an automatic wrapping machine, Chocolate bars and the like with almost complete elimination of manual labor to table.

Furthermore, the new tape enables hard chocolate masses, sugar masses, biscuit and rolling cookie doughs and the like into molds. 'The chocolate mass wanders then via knocking tables and cooling track to the wrapping machine or into the packing box, the biscuit and cookie doughs are off the conveyor belt placed automatically on the baking trays or baking belts and wandered into the oven.

Claims (1)

Claim: Mold arrangement for chocolate and similar masses, with which the molds to a conveyor system without end connected • are characterized in that the Molded troughs are worked directly into a flexible band, which at the same time serves as a conveyor belt. ^ - O / y /
