Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chocolate product processing, in particular to equipment for making chocolate with fillings and a process flow thereof. Background Art

[0002] The phenylethylamine and caffeine in the chocolate filling can stimulate the nervous system and promote the secretion of dopamine, thereby improving mood and relieving stress. High-quality dark chocolate is rich in polyphenols, with about 500 mg of polyphenols per 100 grams. It has the antioxidant ability to neutralize free radicals and helps reduce cell damage. Every 100 grams of chocolate can provide about 500 calories. It is a convenient food for quickly replenishing energy and is suitable for scenes with high physical exertion. Moderate intake may reduce the risk of heart disease by dilating blood vessels and improving blood flow. The flavonol component has a positive effect on cardiovascular function.

[0003] However, traditional chocolate production equipment has the following disadvantages:

[0004] Traditional chocolate-filled production equipment is generally installed separately and independently. After processing on a single device, the product needs to be manually transferred to the next device, which increases the production time of the chocolate production equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a device for making sandwich chocolate, comprising a conveyor roller, a first frame is provided on one side of the conveyor roller, corner modules are fixedly installed at both ends of one side of the first frame, a second frame is fixedly installed between the two corner modules away from the first frame, a three-dimensional drying mold module, a shell pouring machine module, a first mold oscillation module, a second mold oscillation module, a first mold turnover module, a shaking mold module, a mold top oscillation module, a bottom scraping mold module, a second mold turnover module, a first licking roller module, a first three-dimensional cold channel module, a first far-infrared drying mold module, an ONESHORT pouring machine module and a third mold oscillation module are fixedly installed on the first frame from right to left, and a second three-dimensional cold channel module, a second far-infrared drying mold module, a bottom pouring machine module, a fourth mold oscillation module, a second licking roller module, a third three-dimensional cold channel module, a third mold turnover module, a double knocking module and a fourth mold turnover module are fixedly installed on the second frame from left to right.

[0007] The process flow of a device for making chocolate sandwiches of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0008] Step 1, loading: The loading station at the beginning of the process provides raw material input for subsequent continuous production, ensuring that the materials enter the processing flow in an orderly manner;

[0009] Step 2: Processing procedure: carry out primary processing section and deep processing section respectively.

[0010] As an optimal technical solution of the present invention, the material in the primary processing section in step 2 is transferred to the first group of processing stations along the loop line. The equipment performs basic morphological or functional transformation of the material according to the preset program, laying the foundation for subsequent processes. This link focuses on processing accuracy and consistency to ensure product quality standards.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the material that has undergone primary processing in the deep processing section of step 2 continues to circulate and enters the deep processing station equipment to carry out casting and shelling according to the material characteristics to further improve the product function and appearance and enhance the product performance indicators. This link is often equipped with a high-precision detection and feedback system to correct processing deviations in real time.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the process flow of the processing step is divided into the following steps: drying mold heating, first pouring module, first template vibration, shell making module, shell cooling, core material filling, core material vibration, core material cooling, bottom cover pouring, scraping module, large cooling module, demoulding module, product removal and module transfer, and then the module transfer cycle returns to the drying mold heating.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the deep processing section performs three pouring operations. For the first pouring operation, tempered chocolate is used, the mold is pre-cooled, the mold is turned over and centrifuged to remove excess chocolate, and the rotation speed is 200-300 rpm to form a uniform thin shell. For the second pouring operation, the viscosity of the chocolate filling slurry is controlled at 5000-6000 cP and injected into the equipment. After pouring, the filling is quickly cooled to prevent the nuts from settling. For the third pouring operation, high-fluidity chocolate is used, the bottom is sealed by a scraping process, and the filling is quickly cooled and solidified.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the temperature of the tempered chocolate used in the first pouring is 29.5°C±0.5, the mold is pre-cooled to a temperature of 18-20°C, and the rotation speed for forming a uniform thin shell is 200-300rpm.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the temperature inside the injection equipment during the second pouring is 30±1°C.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The loop line is equipped with a central control system that integrates PLC logic control and human-machine interaction interface, and monitors the equipment status, material position and processing parameters of each workstation in real time. Through program settings, the production rhythm and process sequence can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the production needs of different products; various processing and testing equipment rely on the control system to operate in coordination to ensure a continuous and efficient process. In the event of anomalies such as equipment failure or quality exceeding the standard, alarms and shutdown protections will be automatically triggered to reduce production risks.
