Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chocolate tempering and casting machines, and more particularly to a chocolate tempering and casting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A chocolate pouring machine is a device used to precisely inject molten chocolate into molds or coat the surface of food. It is widely used in the chocolate production, confectionery manufacturing, and baking industries. The main function of a chocolate pouring machine is to ensure that the chocolate maintains appropriate fluidity, temperature, and uniformity during processing to guarantee the quality of the final product.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN208274021U, disclose a chocolate tempering and casting machine. This patent employs a mold platform, a casting mold, a stirring and tempering mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. The casting mold is freely placed on the mold platform, the stirring and tempering mechanism is located on the mold platform and is used to melt and stir the chocolate, and the lifting mechanism is connected to the stirring and tempering mechanism and is used to transport the chocolate to the top of the mold platform. The chocolate can fall into the casting mold or the stirring and tempering mechanism for shaping or circulation. The stirring and tempering mechanism is used to achieve batch and uniform stirring of the melted chocolate, thereby obtaining a uniform chocolate liquid and ensuring the consistency of the chocolate liquid. Finally, the casting mold is used to realize the circulation and casting of the chocolate liquid. This structure is a device that integrates chocolate melting, tempering, cooling, and casting, which facilitates the shaping and batch casting of chocolate.

[0004] The inventors discovered in daily use that splattered chocolate solution in existing technologies can contaminate the production environment, including machinery, work surfaces, and surrounding areas. This not only increases cleaning workload but may also lead to waste of chocolate solution, increasing production costs. Furthermore, splattered hot chocolate solution can cause burns or other injuries to operators, especially when the machine is running at high speed, as the chocolate splashes out rapidly, increasing operational risks.
