Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum allseitigen Aufbringen von Granulat auf die Oberflaeche eines Koerpers

摘要

Granulate is applied on all sides of the surface of a three-dimensional body, especially a chocolate in spherical form, the granulate first being scattered counter to the direction of delivery of the body and subsequently being scattered after it, so that in this way half of the body is provided uniformly with granulate. Afterwards, the body half-coated by scattering is rotated through 180 DEG and the other half is then coated by scattering in the same way. The apparatus used may comprise two identical units A and B, each containing a double chute 10 with branches 14 and 16 having orifices 18. Chocolates 30 are located in troughs 28 of mesh belt 20. Granulate 35, e.g. hazelnut splinters, is first scattered from branch 16 on to the moving chocolate in the region of said chute and the chocolate then passes in to region of chute 14. From station A the chocolates fall on to mesh belt 20 of region B and the second half of the chocolate is treated.
