STI (view along arrow D in Fig. 2); in FIG. 6 shows the construction of the feed shaft of the right direction of the blade (view along arrow E in Fig. 2).

A device for the continuous production of molded confectionery masses (see Fig. 1) comprises a frame 1 in which an electric drive compartment 2, an electrical cabinet compartment 3, a control panel 4, a finished mass compressor 5 with a mass overflow pipe 6, and a conveyor mixer 7 s are placed a loading unit 29 and a tempered body 8, a removable matrix 17 with a forming channel, and a mass quantity control device with a mass flow control mechanism 20 through the overflow pipe 6 from the die chamber 16.

The conveyor-mixer 7 with the unit 29 for loading the components of the confectionery mass is placed in a tempered body 8 and is a functionally combined mechanism for preparing and transporting the mass and the roller feeder. At the same time, in the case 8 of the mixer-conveyor 7 there is a double gutter-shaped channel 9 for moving the mass, and between the body 8 and the channel 9 (see Fig. 2) there are stiffening ribs 12 with holes 30 for water circulation.

The channel-shaped channel 9 (see FIG. 2) is designed to move the mass and arrange the two feed shafts 10 and 11 with blades mounted with different angles of elevation of the arc elements 26 of the blades, with different speeds and direction of rotation (left and right directions) .

The feed shafts 10 and 11 (see Fig. 5 and 6) consist of the shafts 24 themselves with diametrically opposite pins 25 fixed to them, which are shifted 90 ° with each step, and are attached to the ends of the pins 25 in the opposite direction relative to the direction of rotation of the blades arc elements 26 of the blades. The end part of the channel 9 of the housing 8 is located above the inlet part of the supercharger 5.

The supercharger 5 is located under the end of the agitator conveyor 7 and is made in the form of two forcing elements 18 (chevron gears) located in a tempered housing 13 with holes 31 for water circulation (see Fig. 3).

A hopper chamber 14, an injection cavity 15 and a die chamber 16 are formed in the housing 13 of the blower 5. In this case, the ends of the shafts 10 and 11 of the conveyor agitator 7 are located in the hopper chamber 14, the discharge cavity 15 is formed by the inner walls of the housing 13 and the discharge elements 18, and the die the camera 16 is placed between the discharge cavity 15 and the removable matrix 17.

The mechanism for controlling the amount of confectionery mass in the die chamber 16 consists of an overflow pipe 6 overflowing mass connecting the die 16 and the hopper 14 of the chamber

0 of the supercharger 5, and the device 20 for controlling the outflow of mass from the die chamber 16, consisting of an opening 21 in the pipe 6, a nut 22 and a threaded body 23 (see, Fig. 4).

5 In addition, all the ends of the supply shafts 10 and 11 and the shafts of the injection elements 18 are located on the sealing supports 19. A device for the continuous production of molded confectionery masses operates as follows.

By means of the electric drive 2 and the control panel 4, the feed shafts 10 and 11 of the conveyor agitator 7 are rotated. Then the mass components 27 and 28 (pieces

5 of the confectionery mass and syrup) are loaded into the mass loading unit 29, where they are mixed with the shafts 10 and 11, equipped with arc elements 26, rotating towards each other, mixed and transferred to the zone

0 supercharger 5 finished mass.

During the movement, the mass components 27 and 28 are mixed, replicated, and the finished mass enters the hopper chamber 14 of the supercharger 5, i.e. into the zone of the pumping elements 18. Due to the difference in the linear velocities of the supply shafts 10 and 11 of the agitator conveyor 7 relative to the pumping elements (chevron gears) 18 of the supercharger 5, the mass is ready

0 is reliably rubbed into the cavities of the teeth of the gears 18, during rotation of which the mass, passing through the injection cavity 15 and maintaining pressure stability, enters the die chamber 16 and is pressed out through the matrix 17 by the required layers, which are laid in the input forms (to hell, not shown) to design the finished product.

For tight filling

0 under the matrix 17 of the forms and maintaining a stable pressure in the die chamber 16, an excess volume of mass from it flows through the pipe 6 into the hopper chamber 14 of the supercharger 5, while the overflow volume 5 is controlled by the device.

As the components 27 and 28 of the confectionery mass are loaded, the process of its preparation and formation of the layers from it is carried out continuously in the manner described above.

The practical use of the device by combining mixing, replication and molding operations in it allows to expand operational capabilities and increase productivity.
