摘要 |
The invention relates to a device and a method for producing a consumable shell-shaped article from a fatty material, in particular from the material containing cacao or a chocolate-type material by cold moulding with the aid of a honeycomb cell ( 2 ) and a coolable upper plunger ( 4 ) which can be lowered into the cell ( 2 ). According to said invention, the edge ( 2 a) of the cell and/or the edge ( 4 a) of the upper plunger is provided with a deformable sealing element ( 8, 10 ) which closes a moulding cavity ( 6 ) in a tight manner with respect to the outside when said element is pressed against the edge ( 4 a) of the upper plunger or against the edge ( 2 a) of the cell when the upper plunger ( 4 ) is lowered therein. When the upper plunger ( 4 ) is introduced into the fluid fatty material at an appropriate temperature in the honeycomb cell ( 2 ), a pressure fluid cushion ( 6 a) is produced on the edge of the cell and/or on the edge of the upper plunger.
