Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von Schokoladepartikeln

摘要

Assembly (1) dispenses molten chocolate as a film on a moving cold surface (5). The dosing assembly (2) especially has a permanently open discharge outlet which surrounds an elastic membrane (15). The membrane surface is in contact with the molten chocolate and rises and falls under control to regulate molten chocolate discharge. Assembly (1) dispenses molten chocolate as a film on a moving cold surface (5). The dosing assembly (2) especially has a permanently open discharge outlet which surrounds an elastic membrane (15). The membrane surface is in contact with the molten chocolate and rises and falls under control to regulate molten chocolate discharge. The dosing assembly (2) and chilled conveyer (5) are encapsulated within a sterilized container (7). The food or chocolate comprises (5): (1) fat (50); (2) sugar (20); and (3) water (10). The membrane acts as a boundary between a sterile and non-sterile zone, or a pasteurized and non-pasteurized zone. The membrane is linked to a pushrod (18) and compensator (19) through the sterile barrier. The dosing unit (2) has one or more jets (13) discharging molten chocolate or other semi-liquid food. After discharge and cooling the food is crushed into particle form.
