Description

  The present invention relates to a chocolate confectionery manufacturing apparatus that manufactures raw chocolate confectionery and performs a baking process on the confectionery.

  Conventionally, various apparatuses have been used for producing raw chocolate confectionery. For example, in the production of a sheet-like raw chocolate confectionery, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a top-opening box-shaped hopper is provided on a belt-like film that moves at a constant speed toward the downstream side without interfering with the movement of the film. A slit having a cut depth of 2 mm or less and a width set appropriately is provided at the lower edge of the side wall facing the downstream side of the hopper, and the chocolate melt introduced into the hopper is filmed from the slit. Extruded into a sheet shape, and this sheet-shaped chocolate is cooled and solidified in a low-temperature atmosphere in a state of being placed on the film, and on the downstream side, the cutting edge descends to the surface of the film at a certain timing from above the film and rises again. The solidified sheet-shaped chocolate is cut at a predetermined interval by a cutting blade that repeats this, and the sheet-shaped chocolate is cut downstream thereof. The has been transported film rate, caused to travel downwardly along the abutted roller surface to the film lower, apparatus to extract peel off the solidified sheet-like chocolate from the film surface is disclosed.

  Also, for example, like the baked fat and oil confectionery disclosed in Patent Document 2, recently, the so-called baked chocolate confectionery chocolate is difficult to melt, and a confectionery food that is pleasing to consumers who can obtain a crispy texture. In addition, an apparatus for producing the confectionery food has been developed.

On the third transport means for transporting the chocolate, and on the third transport means, By cutting the rate in a predetermined direction, a chocolate cutter that forms a plurality of rectangular chocolates and a rectangular chocolate formed by the chocolate cutter are received from the third transport means, and the rectangular chocolate is And a baking chocolate coating means for coating the baking chocolate, and a baking means for baking the rectangular chocolate coated with the baking chocolate by the baking chocolate coating means. It is a chocolate confectionery manufacturing device.

  Further, the invention according to claim 2 is the chocolate confectionery manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first transport means is configured to transfer the mold container supplied with chocolate by the chocolate depositor to the first transport means. It is characterized by comprising a vibrating member that vibrates above.

  According to the present invention, a high-quality sheet-shaped raw chocolate confectionery can be produced, and the resulting chocolate confectionery can be subjected to a baking treatment, so that a chocolate confectionery excellent in texture can be produced. it can.

It is a schematic structure figure showing an embodiment of a chocolate confectionery manufacturing device concerning the present invention. It is the schematic which showed the process of supplying chocolate by the chocolate depositor in embodiment of the chocolate confectionery manufacturing apparatus which concerns on this invention. It is the figure which showed an example of the rectangular chocolate cut by the chocolate cutter in embodiment of the chocolate confectionery manufacturing apparatus which concerns on this invention.

Here, an embodiment of a chocolate confectionery manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of a chocolate confectionery manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, where 10 is a chocolate confectionery manufacturing apparatus, 12 is a chocolate depositor, 14 is a mold container, 16 is a first conveying means, and 18 is Vibrating member, 20 is second conveying means, 22 is cooling means, 24 is third conveying means, 26 is a powder machine, 28 is a chocolate cutter, 30 is a coating means, 32 is a baking means, A is chocolate, B is Rectangular chocolate, C, indicates chocolate for baking.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the chocolate confectionery manufacturing apparatus 10 according to the present invention firstly rotates a loop belt to drive the mold container 14, and the first transport means 16. A chocolate depositor 12 for supplying chocolate melted from above into the mold container 14 conveyed by the above is provided adjacent to the first conveying means 16.

  In addition, in the chocolate depositor 12, for example, chocolate, butter, fresh cream, liqueur, reused fresh chocolate, etc. are stirred and mixed at a predetermined ratio by a vacuum mixer (not shown) and dissolved at a temperature of about 45 ° C., for example. Preserved chocolate that has been made.

  Here, the chocolate depositor 12 supplies the chocolate to the mold container 14 as shown in FIG. As the flow, first, as shown in (a), the mold container 14 to which nothing is supplied is carried into the first transport means 16 and the transport is started.

  Subsequently, as shown in (b), the supply of chocolate is started from the chocolate depositor 12 to the mold container 14. Since the mold container 14 is conveyed at a predetermined speed by the first conveying means 16, as shown in (c), if the chocolate depositor 12 continuously supplies the chocolate, the mold container 14 14 is filled with chocolate.

  Next, in the chocolate confectionery manufacturing apparatus 10, chocolate is supplied to the first transport means 16 by the chocolate depositor 12, and the vibrating member that vibrates the chocolate-containing mold container 14 on the transport means 16. 18 is provided. The vibration member 18 vibrates in order to remove bubbles contained in the chocolate supplied into the mold container 14.

  Subsequently, the chocolate confectionery manufacturing apparatus 10 is provided with a second conveying means 20 that receives and conveys the chocolate-containing mold container 14 from the first conveying means 16, and further, on the second conveying means 20. The cooling means 22 which performs a cooling process with respect to the mold container 14 containing chocolate is provided. In this embodiment, the cooling means 22 is installed so that the 1st conveyance means 16 may be enclosed, and becomes a cooling tunnel which conveys the mold container 14 containing chocolate in the inside. The cooling process is preferably performed for about 60 minutes under a temperature condition of −10 ° C. in terms of quality maintenance.
