Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a non-stick chocolate warming container. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of food processing technology, especially in chocolate production, chocolate warming tanks are a crucial piece of equipment. These tanks are primarily used for the temperature-controlled storage and preliminary refining of finely ground chocolate syrup to meet the technological requirements of chocolate production and ensure continuous production on the chocolate confectionery production line. During chocolate production, the chocolate syrup, after being ground by a fine grinder or ball mill, is transported to the warming tank for storage.
[0003] A chocolate warming container disclosed in patent CN206963900U features a motor and reducer mounted on the side wall of the container, effectively preventing oil or other parts from falling into the container and ensuring the hygiene of the syrup, thus guaranteeing food safety. A sedimentation tank is installed at the container's outlet to further remove heavier impurities. A filter screen is added at the sedimentation tank outlet to remove other large-volume impurities, minimizing the introduction of other impurities into the syrup and preventing the discharge pump from burning out due to hard objects.
[0004] Although the aforementioned chocolate warming container is equipped with a stirring device that uses a motor, reducer, and central shaft to drive the stirring rod, the lack of a wall-mounting structure means that the chocolate paste adhering to the container walls may not be adequately reached and scraped off during stirring. This can cause the chocolate paste to accumulate on the container walls, affecting not only the uniformity of stirring but also potentially the quality and taste of the chocolate.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a non-stick chocolate warmer to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a non-stick chocolate warming container to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0037] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 When using this utility model, firstly, connect the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 21 to the external hot water circulation device. Hot water will be injected into the hollow jacket 19 from the inlet pipe 20. The hot water flows in the hollow jacket 19 and heats the body 1 of the heat preservation cylinder. After the hollow jacket 19 is completely filled with hot water, the hot water will be discharged back to the hot water circulation device from the outlet pipe 21 to form a continuous hot water circulation, thereby maintaining the internal temperature of the body 1 of the heat preservation cylinder.
[0038] Open the sealing cover 15 and pour the chocolate syrup into the feeding hopper 14.

After the amount of chocolate syrup in the body of the heat preservation cylinder 1 reaches a certain level, close the sealing cover 15.
[0039] Start the drive motor 11, set the appropriate stirring speed and working time through the control panel 12, the drive motor 11 will drive the rotating shaft 3 of the stirring mechanism 2 to rotate, and then drive the stirring blade 4 to stir the chocolate paste. At the same time, the silicone scraper head 7 on one side of the scraper plate 5 will stick to the inner wall of the heat preservation cylinder body 1 to scrape and ensure that the chocolate paste will not form a layer on the inner wall.
[0040] When chocolate syrup is needed, valve 18 is opened to allow the chocolate syrup to be discharged from the inside of the insulated tank body 1 through the discharge pipe 17. During the discharge process, the chocolate syrup adhering to the inner wall of the tank is scraped off by the wall scraper 5 and silicone scraper 7 of the stirring mechanism 2, ensuring full utilization of the chocolate syrup and avoiding waste.

The stirring mechanism 2 is driven by the drive motor 11 to work. The scraper 5 and the silicone scraper 7 of the stirring mechanism 2 are used to scrub the inner wall of the body of the heat preservation cylinder 1 to avoid the chocolate paste residue from causing bacterial growth or affecting the effect of the next use.
