Enrobing of articles with chocolate and chocolate-like mass

摘要

Process and apparatus (24) for enrobing articles (26) with layers of chocolate or chocolate-like mass, comprising a conveyor grid (25) onto which the articles are arranged. From an upper flow pan (27) is the mass poured as a curtain (28) onto the articles(26). The residual mass is collected into a lower reservoir tank (29) being open at the top (30). The first end (33) of a first conduit (31) having a pump (32) is connected with a lower opening (34) in the reservoir tank (29) and the second end (35) is arranged at the upper flow pan (27) for transporting mass from the tank (29) to the flow pan (27). The first end (37) of a second conduit (36) is connected with a tempering machine (38), and the second end (39) is connected to the first conduit (31). Thereby, mass in the first and the second conduit is mixed and delivered to the flow pan (27) at the top.
