The invention relates to the confectionery industry and can be applied in the manufacture of chocolate-coated confectionery products in a capsule.

The aim of the invention is to improve reliability in operation by simplifying the design.

The drawing schematically shows a device for the production of chocolate shells in capsules, a general view.

The device contains a chain conveyor 1 mounted on its chains of form 2, having rows of cells, a casting head 3 with a hopper 4 and a container 5 for collecting chocolate, 30 tubes 6 for taking chocolate mass from the capsules, a system for creating vacuum in the container 5 for collecting chocolate mass, inclined tray 8, located above the hopper 4 and connected to the 35 upper part of the tank 5, which is located above the chain conveyor 1 and is rigidly connected to the casting head 3. The tubes 6 for selecting the chocolate mass are located above each of the 40 cells, are connected by pipelines odes 9 with the container 5 and are provided with spring loaded stops 10 for holding the capsules

11 in the cells. Casting head 3

and capacity 5 are located on the bed 45

12 with the possibility of vertical movement using the mechanism 13 ..

The device works as follows.

50

The capsules 11, prepared for filling, located in the cells of forms 2, are moved by the chain co-conveyor 1 to the zone of the location of the casting head 3. At the time of stopping $$ forms 2, the casting head 3 delivers metered portions of chocolate mass, which fills the capsules 11.

Chain conveyor 1 makes a periodic movement with stands. Filled capsules 11 are moved to the area of placement of the tubes 6, which, together with the frame 12, make a reciprocating movement in a vertical plane. The mechanism 13 provides the frame 12 and with it the casting head 3 and the tubes 6 with a capacity of 5 coordinated movement with the forms 2 of the conveyor 1.

During the shutdown of the forms 2, the tubes 6 move downwards and enter the capsules 11 filled with chocolate in the previous operation for 90-95% of the total volume.

Spring-loaded stops 10 are pressed against the capsules 11, holding them securely in the form 2.

As a result of the constant suction of air by the vacuum device from the suction tubes 6 through the tank 5, the excess mass from the capsules 11 enters the tank 5. After filling the tank 5, the mass moves along the inclined tray 8 into the hopper 4 of the filling head 3 to refill the capsules 11.

As a result of excess suction, chocolate shells are formed on the walls of capsules 11. The whole cycle of the device operation is completely repeated **.

The location of the tank 5, the hopper 4 and the tray 8 provides the ability to simplify the design of the device and increase its reliability.
