The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a round bar-shaped chocolate and the apparatus used therein, by applying a horizontal pipe in the raw material supply process to reduce the bubble generation rate, by applying a monner pumping method in the raw material conveying process of the raw material back The present invention relates to a bar-shaped chocolate manufacturing method and apparatus for removing a phenomenon and making a cross-sectional shape of a product almost circular by applying a nozzle having an elliptical cross-sectional structure during raw material discharging.

In general, most chocolates have been manufactured mainly in the form of a wide rectangular plate because of their unique fluidity, that is, the characteristics of spreading, but the tendency to emphasize the convenience and appearance of food and beverages is gradually increasing. The recent trend is to develop new types of chocolate that can be met.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of such a point, but easy to eat, yet simple in shape of a circular bar-shaped chocolate, for this purpose to supply a high-viscosity raw material and each functional device of the process of feeding and discharging it It is made of chocolate with the shape that suits the taste of consumers by giving the characteristics to it, and it adopts the monopumping type that is suitable for suppressing bubble generation in the process of material supply and extruding high viscosity material. It is an object of the present invention to provide a manufacturing method and an apparatus for manufacturing the same, by which an elliptical nozzle which preserves the shape of the film can be produced in the shape of a bar-shaped chocolate almost close to a circle.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The chocolate manufacturing process of the present invention is provided with a process for supplying and storing a large amount of chocolate compound by using a horizontal pipe and a hopper, and a step of squeezing such stored cullet blends in a monopumping manner, and cooling means. The process of firstly discharging the chocolate compound conveyed by using a plurality of nozzles in a predetermined form at the same time, and the second discharging, and conveying the discharged chocolate compound by means of a conveyor belt equipped with an anti-slip means, while simultaneously cooling it It consists of the process of cutting to a constant size and continuing to secondary cooling, and the process of unit packing several products cut to a constant size.

More specifically, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing a bar-shaped chocolate manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, through a material supply pipe 10 for supplying a high viscosity chocolate compound (hereinafter referred to as a material) at a constant pressure The supply of the material is made, and the supplied material is filled and stored in the hopper 11 in the form of a container having a constant volume.

That is, the material supply pipe 10 is connected between the material supply source (not shown) and the hopper 11, the distal end of the material supply pipe 10 is located above the hopper 11 and the outlet The material falling through the bottom of the hopper 11 is filled from the bottom of the hopper 11 is filled with a certain amount of the amount of the exit from the pressure-feeding process to be described later, since the hopper 11 is always stored in a certain amount of material.

In addition, a water passage 11a is formed between the inner wall and the outer wall of the hopper 11, and the viscosity of the material stored in the hopper 11 can be kept constant by the hot water flowing therethrough.

In addition, an infrared heater 11b is provided on one side of the outer wall of the hopper 11 so that the material stored in the hopper 11 can be heated as necessary.

Moreover, inside the hopper 11, the stirrer which stirs the material in it while moving left and right is provided.

In particular, the discharge port of the material supply pipe 10, that is, the front end portion of the pipe located immediately above the hopper 11 is a constant length of the horizontal pipe, so that bubbles can be suppressed as much as possible when the material falls .

For example, in the past, when the tip outlet was vertical, when the material exited the outlet at the same time, air was easily introduced into the pipe, so that a considerable amount of bubbles were included in the material. There was a disadvantage, but in the material supply pipe 10 of the present invention in which the tip outlet is horizontal, the inflow of air is suppressed as much as possible, the above disadvantage can be compensated.

In addition, the material stored in the hopper 11 is supplied to the pressure feeding process, in this case the pump 12 as a driving means and the lead bar 13 is connected to the axis thereof and rotated to forcibly push the material By this, quantitative feeding of the material is achieved.

One embodiment of an apparatus for quantitatively feeding such materials is shown in detail in FIG. 2 of the accompanying drawings.

That is, a lower portion of the hopper 11 is provided with a housing 14 for communicating a certain amount of material, and is supported by a bearing, and is coupled to the lead bar 13 and the pump through the front and rear couplings, respectively. A drive shaft 15 which is connected to the shaft of 12 and rotates according to the drive of the pump 12 is installed slightly inclined between the lead bar 13 and the pump 12, and the case 16 in front of the material 16 It shows a structure in which the lead bar 13 that pushes out substantially is embedded.

In particular, the pumping process of the monopumping method adopted in the present invention is a twisted rod form by twisting a case 16 having a continuous passage along the spiral path over the entire length and a circular rod of a predetermined length to a predetermined pitch. Using the lead bar 13 made of a feature that is continuously conveyed by a certain amount of material.

For example, when the center 16 is cut in the longitudinal direction of the center thereof, the shaft tube and the expansion tube are repeatedly arranged, and have a passage formed of a structure in which they are connected in a helical direction, and twist like a pretzel. The lead bar 13, which is in the shape of a shape, is combined in the spiral passage of the case 16, and forms a predetermined space portion capable of collecting a predetermined amount of material at each position where the expansion portion is formed with the passage wall.

Accordingly, when the lead bar 13 continues to rotate, the material contained in each space portion can be pushed along the spiral passage of the case 16 and finally discharged through the nozzle.

Therefore, the material collected from the hopper 11 into the interior of the housing 14 is nozzle of the material discharging process described later by the drive shaft 15 and the lead bar 13 which rotate together with the driving of the pump 12. It is conveyed to (17).

That is, the material collected in a certain amount while being separated by a mass in the space between the lead bar 13 and the case 16 is pushed along with the rotation of the lead bar 13 and proceeds along the spiral passage of the case 16. In this way, a certain amount of material can always be continuously conveyed.

In addition, the material thus conveyed is first discharged to a predetermined thickness by the primary nozzle 17a in the material discharging step and finally determined by a continuous secondary nozzle 17b, for example, a thickness of about 5 Secondary discharge.

Here, the material finished up to the secondary discharge step is quenched just before being discharged through the secondary nozzle 17b for preservation of the shape, and the quench means at this time uses a heat transfer medium having a freezing point lower than water, thereby quenching. The material discharged in this state can maintain a temperature of approximately 30 ° C. or less.

The quench means is installed around the material transfer tube 18 connected between the primary nozzle 17a and the secondary nozzle 17b, and the material discharged through the primary nozzle 17a passes therethrough. While being quenched for a while and maintained in a semi-solid state to some extent, it is finally discharged through the secondary nozzle 17b as it is.

Such a pair of primary nozzles 17a and secondary nozzles 17b are provided in a number of uniform intervals along the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in which the material proceeds. A capacity of (17), for example, is determined based on the pressure capacity in the material pressure feeding step.

That is, it is preferable that the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the total discharge ports of the primary nozzles 17a and the cross-sectional areas of the total discharge ports of the secondary nozzles 17b is in a ratio of 1: 16, and such a ratio is the pump 17. It is possible to optimize and maximize the discharge efficiency of the secondary nozzle (17b) in proportion to the pumping capacity of the.

In particular, the discharge port of the secondary nozzle 17b has an elliptical shape having a vertical posture, that is, a long axis of an ellipse is disposed in the longitudinal direction, and the material discharged through the discharge hole also corresponds to an ellipse. It is made in the form and placed on the conveyor belt 19 of the material transfer process, which will be described later, and the material thus laid is stretched downward at a constant rate by its own weight, that is, slightly solidified while being stretched to the side. It is possible to have a cross-sectional structure of.

In addition, the material discharged in a continuous rod shape while having a substantially circular cross-sectional structure from the material discharging process is placed on the conveyor belt 19, and proceeds to the cutting process during this process, and continues to the packaging process Will be sent.

The conveyor belt 19 is installed side by side in the forward direction while maintaining a constant distance and height from the discharge port of the second nozzle (17b).

At this time, the material discharged from the nozzle can be placed on the belt naturally as the material discharged from the nozzle proceeds a certain distance forward without any friction interference and then falls to a certain height downward. The occurrence factor can be minimized.

In addition, the upper surface of the conveyor belt 19 on which the material is placed is embossed with stripes of a combination of X and a straight line, thereby preventing the material from slipping on the belt, thereby providing a uniform gap between the two materials. Since it can be proceeded in a straight state while maintaining, the cutting process described later can be made efficiently.

In addition, the material conveyed by the conveyor belt 19 is subjected to at least one cooling step 23a, and then predetermined by the cutter 22 operated by the motor 20 and the cam 21 in the cutting step. The cut material is then cut into a complete solid state through one more cooling process, and then packaged into several bundles in the packaging process, thereby producing one finished product.

Therefore, the shape of the finished product through such a manufacturing process is made in the form of a circular rod having a length of about 12cm.

Looking at the cross-sectional structure of such a product, the entire circumference except for the portion that was in contact with the conveyor belt 19 shows a single intact circular shape, since the contact portion at this time is only a small part when looking at the entire circumference of the product. The bar-shaped chocolate manufactured by the manufacturing method of the present invention may be formed in the shape of a circular bar having a predetermined length.

As described above, the present invention is a consumer's preference by applying a horizontal piping that can suppress the occurrence of bubbles in the material supply process, a mono pumping method capable of quantitatively feeding the material in the material conveying process, and an elliptical nozzle for maintaining the circle in the material discharging process There is an advantage to manufacture a product having a shape and quality that can satisfy the.
