Problems solved by technology

This not only creates inefficiency, but also reduces the benefits of layered chocolate or other food products
Additionally, the use of a toothed doctor blade to cut the film to length causes a large amount of the chocolate film to bypass the rollers and be reworked, changing its properties or causing inefficiencies

Embodiment Construction

[0068] As mentioned above, Figure 1 shows a general apparatus for making a creped partially compressed confectionery bar according to prior art processes. Some disadvantages of this system are mentioned above.

[0069] While the examples below are specifically directed to transferring chocolate from a first roll to a second roll and subsequent formation of a layered confectionery product, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to the use of chocolate. As noted above, the present invention is applicable to all human and pet food materials that are liquid upon application or sufficiently fluidized or plasticized to readily form regular films of plasticized solids. Additionally, any second component added to the film on the second roll may be solid or liquid, if appropriate. Possible examples of second ingredients for chocolate films include cream (e.g. pralines, coffee, mint, egg whites, etc.), chopped nuts (e.g. almonds, hazelnuts, etc.), inclusions of puffed...

Abstract

Apparatus and method for producing a regular film of foodstuff, comprising a first roll on to which foodstuff is applied in fluid or plastic form, and an independent second roll spaced from the first by a distance t1 on to which a film of foodstuff of thickness t1 is applied by means of the first roll. Also apparatus and method for producing a layered foodstuff produce additionally comprising a doctor blade on the second roll and a rotary former including a number of cavities in which the foodstuff is collected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a process and apparatus for the continuous production of regular films for human and pet food. In particular, the invention extends to the use of such films in the production of layered products. In particular the invention relates to the production and use of regular films for confectionery such as nougat, caramel, chocolate and sucrose, and other human foodstuffs such as meat products, ice cream, baked products and decorative butter and soft food spreads. Background technique [0002] Layered products, especially layered confectionary products, are well known. Generally, this layered product is formed by applying the chocolate mass to a so-called refining roll, from which a thin film is scraped and gathered in a suitable former to form the desired product . The film is removed as a continuous sheet by controlling the speed of the refining rolls over which the chocolate mass is spread into the film. By varying the ...
