945,030. Coating bakers' and confectioners' goods; tempering chocolate. R. WINKLER, and K. DUNNEBIER, Aug. 9, 1962 [Aug. 18, 1961], No. 30546/62. Heading A2A. In a chocolate coating and tempering machine comestibles 5 on a wire mesh conveyer 4 are coated with chocolate falling from a trough 2, surplus chocolate passing through the conveyer for collection in a funnel-shaped cover 31 together with replenishing, hot untempered chocolate delivered by a pipe 39 from a separate supply vessel (not shown). The chocolate then flows on to a wheel 35 for distribution either side thereof along a cylinder 32 having mixing vanes 34, and mounted for rotation on a shaft 33. From the two ends of the cylinder the chocolate flows into a vessel 6 and is intimately mixed with the chocolate therein by a stirring paddle 11 and brought to the predetermined temperature by the thermostat 8 controlled water jacket 7 around the vessel. The chocolate then flows through the channel 17 into the middle of a cooling cylinder 19 and is fed by an oppositely pitched worm 18 to either end thereof and into a second similarly constructed cooling cylinder 21, both cylinders having water jackets 20, 22. The chocolate then passes up a jacketed pipe 27 and into the trough 2. |
