Description

DEVICE FOR PRODUCING HOLLOW CANDY

The utility model relates to equipment for the production of hollow candies, including hollow candies made of chocolate or chocolate-like raw materials, in particular, hollow chocolate candies with non-food products placed inside them (Kinder surprise).

Several methods are known for making hollow candies. The most common are the following.

A. Casting. Cells having the configuration of molded products are made in special forms, hermetically sealed and connected to a vacuum system. When you turn on the vacuum system in the cavities of the cells creates a vacuum, then the cells are filled with chocolate mass. The near-wall layer of chocolate crystallizes. After turning off the vacuum system, non-crystallized chocolate flows out of the cells, the bottom of the cells closes. Molds with cells are removed, as a result, hollow chocolate products with a shell specified by the configuration of the cell are obtained. A similar method is implemented on the Device for casting products according to the copyright certificate of the USSR N453159, IPC: A23G1 / 20, priority from 09.28.72, publ.

12/15/74. Bulletin N46. This method allows the manufacture of seamless hollow chocolate products.

B. Molding due to rotation of the mold. Chocolate is poured into the mold and distributed in it by rotation of the mold. The method allows to make both seamless and candy from two halves, as well as hollow chocolate candies with various fillers. The schematic diagram of the unit for the implementation of such a method is given in the book of A.P. Dragileva Equipment for the production of chocolate, Moscow: Kolos, 1993, p. 114. A similar device is described in international application NWO 09535037 dated 12.28.95r, IPC: A23G, 1/21, 3/02, 3/20, German priority from 11/10/94

B. Forming with a chilled punch. Pre-dosed mass is poured into the mold cavity. The mass distribution on the walls of the mold is achieved due to the pressing action of the chilled punch. This method allows you to make hollow chocolate products glued from two halves (including the popular candy Kinder surprise).

A device for implementing this method is shown in RF patent N2084165 of 04.25.95, IPC: A23G, 3/00 (chocolate sweets from two glued halves with the formation of a walnut shape and stuffed with a walnut kernel).

An improved device for implementing this method is protected by international application N WO 09532633 dated 12/07/95, IPC: A23G, 1/21, German priority from 05/31/94.

The proposed solution relates to the manufacture of hollow chocolates by the method of molding a chilled punch.

The closest solution to the proposed can be considered the device described in international application N WO 09532633 from 12/07/95,

MIK: A23G, 1/21, Germany's priority of 05/31/94. The device contains a container with raw materials, dispensers for supplying raw materials, molds with the configuration of a half of a given product, punches interacting with the molds, a cooling system.

The known device allows to obtain hollow chocolate products of a certain shape, including in the form of an egg, but with a uniform surface of dark or light chocolate or chocolate-like raw materials.

Hollow chocolate products are known, decorated with a relief pattern, which is made on top of a candy shell. Devices for the manufacture of such sweets are protected by UK patents N02S79286 from 01/01/95, IPC: A23G, 1 / 21,1 / 22, and Japan by application N05069485 from 01/10/93, IPC: A23G1 / 00.

Confectionery product according to the application of the Russian Federation for invention N 96122310/13 of 11/19/96, IPC: A23G, 3/00, UK priority of 11/20/95. contains a chocolate base comprising veins of a component in the form of a chewy candy mass dispersed throughout this base.

The objective of the proposed solution is to create a device for the manufacture of hollow candies with an arbitrary graphic pattern on the shell through the use of a heterogeneous mixture of different types of chocolate-like raw materials.

To solve this problem, a device containing a container with raw materials for the shell, a dispenser for supplying raw materials to the mold with the configuration of the halves of a given product, a punch interacting with the mold, a cooling system and a unit for connecting the halves of the product, is equipped with a raw material container for the decorative fragment with an idosator, which connected to this tank and installed with the possibility of supplying raw materials to the form. The proposed solution is illustrated by a drawing and a photograph, which shows:

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a device,

photo 1,2,3- variants of the general appearance of the product manufactured on the proposed device.

A device for making hollow Form 3 has the configuration of half of the molded product. If the device is intended for the manufacture of sweets in the form of an egg, then form 3 will be made in the form of half an egg. It is possible that there are two forms 3 at once for the simultaneous manufacture of both halves of candy. In industrial production, a conveyor may contain a significantly larger number of identical shapes.

The punch 4 is pre-cooled before molding to a temperature that is determined depending on the physicochemical properties of the raw material. The temperature of the punch 4 is regulated by the cooling system 5.

For the manufacture of sweets with decorative fragments (see photos 1 and 2), the device is supplemented with a capacity of 6 with the fragment material. The tank 6 is also connected to the dispenser 7, which is installed with the possibility of supplying raw materials in the same form 3.

In the manufacture of sweets, the shell of which consists of two different layers, the device can be supplemented with another capacity 8 for raw materials of the second layer of the shell, which is connected to an additional dispenser 9.

The device operates as follows.

Tanks 1, 6 and 8 are filled with appropriate raw materials. As raw materials, dark or white chocolate, chocolate-like raw materials or yogurt glaze of different colors (pink, blue, salad, etc.) can be used.

Through the dispenser 2, the raw material of the outer layer in the volume specified by the technological process (the volume depends on the size of the mold, the thickness of the shell layer, the properties of the raw materials, etc.) is injected into the mold 3, then pressed, uniformly distributed over the entire surface of the mold 3, using a punch

4. The then cooled shells are removed from the molds. Then two identical

on the node. „v

shells stick together 0 and get a hollow candy in the shape of an egg with a plain

surface. Before gluing the halves into a candy, a non-food product, such as a toy, can be placed.

It is possible to obtain a two-layer shell of candy. For this, after molding the first layer from another container 8 through the dispenser 9 into the mold 3, a metered portion of the new material is injected over the first already cooled layer. The second layer is also pressed with the punch 4. Thus, it is possible to obtain a hollow two-layer candy, in which the upper layer is made, for example, of dark chocolate, and the lower one is made of light chocolate. A reverse combination is possible - a white egg with a dark inner layer. In this way, you can get a candy from two halves of a different color. However, all of these products have a plain outer shell.

The proposed device differs from the known ones in the possibility of manufacturing one and two-layer sweets with decorative color fragments of arbitrary shape on the outer layer. For this, a portion of the raw material is injected from the container 6 with the material of the fragment with the dispenser 7 into the mold 3. The injection site can be arbitrarily selected or determined depending on the selected decorative pattern. Punch 4 presses

raw material fragment. After cooling the fragment into the mold 3, a raw material of a different color is injected, which is again formed. As a result, at the location of the fragment, the shell structure will be two-layer, and in the remaining sections, it will be single-layer.

Thus, candies were obtained from dark chocolate raw materials with white cheeks on their sides (photo 1). With a more arbitrary injection of raw materials for the fragments, candies with an arbitrary form of fragments were obtained (photo 2).

The proposed device due to the introduction of additional nodes allowed to significantly diversify the range of confectionery. - 6 FORMULA
