Abstract

The present invention concerns a method and a device for producing different filled chocolates (12) in the same casting mould (10), provided with a number of cavities (11). Firstly, shells are moulded in all the cavities then fill is added to the shells, and the bottom is moulded onto the shells. Between every step there is refrigeration. Finished chocolates (12) are transported from the casting mould (10) for subsequent packing. The step comprising moulding of shells includes the possibility to mould shells of different types of chocolate, such as dark on light chocolate. The step comprising adding of fill to the shells includes the possibility to add different types of fill, and the step comprising moulding of bottoms to the shells includes the possibility to mould bottoms of different types of chocolates. The finished chocolates (12) are transported from the casting mould (10) to a sales unit (13), having the same relative location in the sales unit (13) as in the casting mould (10).

Description

25 30 35 521 158 Den tredje stationen gjuter bottnarna, varvid alla bitar i en form kommer att gjutas fulla av samma typ av choklad. Den extra chokladen skrapas normalt av och formen avkyls så att botten och skalet/fyllningen hårdnar. The third station casts the bottoms, all the pieces in a mold being molded full of the same type of chocolate. The extra chocolate is normally scraped off and the mold is cooled so that the bottom and the shell / filling harden.

Vid den sista stationen avlägsnas bitarna från formen antingen genom vändning av formen upp och ned eller av vakuum, och formen fortsätter en ny runda i anläggningen.At the last station, the pieces are removed from the mold either by turning the mold upside down or by vacuum, and the mold continues a new round in the plant.

De färdiga bitarna lagras normalt temporärt, och tillsammans med andra bitar från lagret förpackas de i en försäljningsenhet, till exempel en konfektyrask.The finished pieces are normally stored temporarily, and together with other pieces from the warehouse, they are packed in a sales unit, such as a confectionery box.

Nackdelen med denna kända teknik är att det endast är möjligt att producera en typ av choklad vid en given tidpunkt, inom samma produktionsbana. När flera olika bitar skall produceras, måste detta göras i olika produktionsbanor. Alternativt måste anläggningen stängas av och rengöras, formarna bytas ut och en annan typ av choklad och fyllning adderas till anläggningen innan den omstartas.The disadvantage of this prior art is that it is only possible to produce one type of chocolate at a given time, within the same production path. When several different pieces are to be produced, this must be done in different production paths. Alternatively, the plant must be shut down and cleaned, the molds replaced and another type of chocolate and filling added to the plant before it is restarted.

Ett syfte med föreliggande uppfinning är därför att tillhandahålla en anordning och ett förfarande, varvid alla de olika bitarna pro- duceras och förpackas i samma låda, i en produktionsbana.An object of the present invention is therefore to provide an apparatus and a method, wherein all the different pieces are produced and packaged in the same box, in a production web.

Syftet uppnås med ett förfarande respektive en anordning enligt den kännetecknande delen av de självständiga kraven.The object is achieved with a method and a device, respectively, according to the characterizing part of the independent claims.

Enligt föreliggande uppfinning är det möjligt att gjuta flera olika chokladbitar i samma gjutform. Denna form har olika håligheter motsvarande den geometriska formen hos de enskilda bitarna.According to the present invention, it is possible to cast several different pieces of chocolate in the same mold. This shape has different cavities corresponding to the geometric shape of the individual pieces.

Vidare motsvarar chokladbitarnas läge i formen läget i den fär- diga konfektyrasken, men det kan vara ett större avstånd mellan bitarna.Furthermore, the position of the chocolate pieces in the mold corresponds to the position in the finished confectionery box, but there may be a greater distance between the pieces.

I det följande kommer uppfinningen att beskrivas vidare med hänvisning till ett utföringsexempel illustrerat av den åtföljande 10 15 20 25 30 35 11521 158 ritningen, vilken visar en skiss av en produktionsbana enligt före- liggande uppfinning.In the following, the invention will be further described with reference to an exemplary embodiment illustrated by the accompanying drawing, which shows a sketch of a production line according to the present invention.

Ritningen har olika skuggningar för att illustrera ljus och mörk choklad, och tre typer av fyllning. Processen enligt uppfinningen visas som steg 1-9 i ritningen, vilken representerar en förenkling av en produktionsbana. l steg 1 finns det en gjutform 10 av en känd typ innefattande ett antal håligheter 11, med en form, vilken bestämmer den slutliga formen av chokladbitarna 12. I steg 1 tvättas och prepareras gjutformen 10 för gjutning av nya chokladbitar 12. l steg 2 gjuts skalen av chokladbitarna 12. Olika typer av smält choklad kan här adderas av gjutmaskiner (inte visade), till exem- pel olika, alternativt delade, gjutmaskiner för ljus och mörk choklad. Efteråt avkyls de på ett sedvanligt sätt, eller alternativt med användning av en ”frusen kon” som beskrivet i EP 0756455.The drawing has different shades to illustrate light and dark chocolate, and three types of filling. The process according to the invention is shown as steps 1-9 in the drawing, which represents a simplification of a production path. In step 1 there is a mold 10 of a known type comprising a number of cavities 11, with a mold which determines the final shape of the chocolate pieces 12. In step 1 the mold 10 is washed and prepared for casting new chocolate pieces 12. In step 2 the shells of the chocolate pieces 12. Different types of melted chocolate can be added here by casting machines (not shown), for example different, alternatively divided, casting machines for light and dark chocolate. Afterwards, they are cooled in the usual way, or alternatively using a "frozen cone" as described in EP 0756455.

Avkylningen illustreras i steg 3. l steg 4; gjutning av fyllning, kan olika typer av fyllning adderas samtidigt till en eller flera bitar i formen. Detta görs av ett antal gjutmaskiner (inte visade), vilka var och en har en typ av fyllning och vilka var och en fyller en eller flera bitar, men flera gjutma- skiner, till exempel två till fyra, är integrerade i det enda proces- steget. Det är också möjligt, inom ramen för föreliggande uppfin- ning, att placera flera gjutmaskiner i sektion så att till exempel tolv olika sorters fyllning kan adderas med endast tre gjutmaskiner i samma produktionsbana. Efter fyllning kyls bitarna av vid steg 5.The cooling is illustrated in step 3. in step 4; casting of filling, different types of filling can be added simultaneously to one or more pieces in the mold. This is done by a number of casting machines (not shown), each of which has a type of filling and which each fills one or more pieces, but several casting machines, for example two to four, are integrated in the single process. increased. It is also possible, within the scope of the present invention, to place several casting machines in section so that, for example, twelve different types of filling can be added with only three casting machines in the same production line. After filling, the pieces are cooled in step 5.

I steg 6 gjuts bottnarna samtidigt med olika typer av choklad, motsvarande typerna vilka göts i steg 2. Botten gjuts mycket ex- akt, så det finns inget behov av följande skrapning av formens yta. Sedan kyls bitarna av igen vid steg 7. 10 521 158 I steg 8-9, lyfts chokladbitarna 12, med botten upp, ut ur formen med användning av vakuumlyftorgan (inte visade) (steg 8). Ef- teråt överförs chokladbitarna 12 automatiskt till nya koppglas (för att vändas) och läggs sedan i en försäljningsenhet 13 (steg 9) med samma mönster som de göts i gjutformen 10.In step 6, the bottoms are cast simultaneously with different types of chocolate, corresponding to the types which were cast in step 2. The bottom is cast very precisely, so there is no need for the following scraping of the surface of the mold. Then the pieces are cooled again at step 7. In steps 8-9, the chocolate pieces 12, with the bottom up, are lifted out of the mold using vacuum lifting means (not shown) (step 8). Afterwards, the chocolate pieces 12 are automatically transferred to new cup glasses (to be turned) and then placed in a sales unit 13 (step 9) with the same pattern as they were cast in the mold 10.

Ur produktionssynvinkel kan det vara nödvändigt att avståndet mellan chokladbitarna 12 i gjutformen 10 är större än vad som är önskvärt i försäljningsenheten 13. I detta fall kan chokladbitarna 12 dras ihop i lyftanordningen mellan steg 8 och 9. Det är emel- lertid inte ett villkor att chokladbitarna skall byta inbördes position.From a production point of view, it may be necessary that the distance between the chocolate pieces 12 in the mold 10 is greater than what is desired in the sales unit 13. In this case, the chocolate pieces 12 can be contracted in the lifting device between steps 8 and 9. However, it is not a condition that the chocolate pieces should change mutual position.
