Definitions

  • This invention relates to a wrapping method for wrapping confectionery products.
  • the invention can be applied to the wrapping of confectionery products such as chocolates, to which this description will hereinafter refer but without limiting the scope of the invention.
  • confectionery wrapping machines comprising a transfer drum for transferring a succession of products to a wrapping device.
  • the wrapping device comprises a first and a second folder roller tangent to each other at a product transfer station where the selfsame products pass from the first folder roller to the second.
  • the first folder roller places a sheet of wrapping material round the respective product and the second folder roller, which is equipped with product retaining grippers, wraps the sheet of wrapping material on the corresponding product.
  • the wrapped reference confectionery products normally have a truncated cone shape with a base substantially flat and a rounded or bevelled end opposite the flat base and the wrapping style is of the "bunch” type.
  • "Bunch” type wrapping comprises smoothing the sheet of wrapping material on the chocolate, on the rounded end and along a lateral surface of it, and, for example, folded on the flat base.
  • the retaining grippers of the second folding roller support the product provided with the respective sheet of wrapping material at the opposite portions of the lateral surface.
  • a smoothing step is performed using a brush unit moved relative to the chocolate at the second folding roller.
  • the method consists in wrapping a sheet of material around the article to form a tube, folding the ends of the tube over surfaces of the articles which are transverse to the flat surface, and then passing the wrapped article through a resilient smoothing-device.
  • a drawback of the prior art wrapping machines derives from the fact that during the smoothing of the sheet of wrapping material the product is held, as already mentioned, by the lateral surface on which the sheet must be smoothed.
  • the sheet is not therefore smoothed at the grippers and the wrapping achieved is not entirely satisfactory.
  • the main technical purpose of this invention is to propose a wrapping method for confectionery products which is free of the above mentioned disadvantages.
  • the aim of this invention is to provide a wrapping method for confectionery products which is able to perform the smoothing of the sheet of wrapping material on the entire surface of the chocolate.
