摘要 |
The invention relates to a method and a system for the production of shells of fat-containing chocolate-like masses, whereby an amount of liquid mass is deposited into a mould cavity. An associated core member (11) is immersed into the mass, the temperature of which member is being controlled. A mould cavity closure means (16), extending around the core member is further being moved onto closure engagement with the mould element (10), the closure means being axially movable in relation to the core member. Thereafter, the core member is immersed even further into the mass to achieve complete filling of the enclosed mould cavity and to build up pressure in the mass (6) by pressing the core member in direction against the mould cavity. The cavity closure means may be suspended from the upper part of the core member by springs (20) or similar compressible means. In a preferred embodiment, the pressure is set to a pre-determined pressure force. <IMAGE> |
