Benefits of technology

The patent describes a machine and method for wrapping soft enrobed food items with discrete wrapping sheets. The machine includes a conveyor for supporting and transporting packages, a dispensing mechanism for depositing the packages into a mold, and a wrapping mechanism for inserting a portion of the wrapping material sheets into the mold and folding the sheets over the package. The method involves depositing the package into the mold, engaging the package with the wrapping material sheets, and optionally conveying the package to a boxing zone. The technical effect of this invention is the efficient and consistent production of wrapped packages with discrete covering sheets.

Problems solved by technology

Typically, the treat has a round nose bullet shape and is very sensitive to handling, Moreover, due to the sensitivity of the treats, most packaging methods are manual, which can be labor intensive, relatively slow and may have a large footprint.

Abstract

The disclosure is directed to automatic wrapping machines and in particular the disclosure is directed to a machine for wrapping soft enrobed food items with discrete wrapping sheets.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]This disclosure is directed to automatic wrapping machines and in particular the disclosure is directed to a machine for wrapping soft enrobed food items with discrete wrapping sheets.[0002]Some food items, such as coated marshmallow treats (a.k.a. Malomars, Mohrenkopf, Schokokuss, Krembo) can be comprised of a baked cookie base on which, (optionally flavored) marshmallow is deposited and is finally enrobed with a very thin chocolate.[0003]Typically, the treat has a round nose bullet shape and is very sensitive to handling, Moreover, due to the sensitivity of the treats, most packaging methods are manual, which can be labor intensive, relatively slow and may have a large footprint.[0004]In those treats that are individually wrapped with foil, a step whereby the individual items are loaded onto a turntable mold is done manually.[0005]Consequently, there is a need for an effective, efficient, low-cost automatic machine that overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art.S...
