Patent number: 8309148Abstract: A cookie cup sandwich cookie having dissimilarly-sized base cakes is continuously produced by applying a layer of filler cream to a lower base cake and applying an upper base cake to the lower base cake so that the outer periphery of the upper base cake surrounds the layer of filler cream. The apparatus for the production of the sandwich cookies includes at least one rotary molder for producing lower base cakes and upper base cakes having different sizes, a filler cream depositor that deposits a layer of filler cream on each of the lower base cakes, and a conveyer system for transporting and at least substantially concentrically aligning the dissimilarly sized lower and upper base cakes.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2009Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Kraft Foods Global Brands LLCInventors: Mihaelos N. Mihalos, Theodore N. Janulis, Chris E. Robinson, Carol Wines

Publication number: 20100297302Abstract: Thin snack chips having a curved or wave shape are obtained by forming, shaping or curling baked chips into a curved or wave configuration before they become too cold and rigid so as to result in breakage during forming. The essentially flat, malleable baked chips, still hot from baking in an oven may be continuously transported on a conveyer belt into a nip or gap formed between the conveyer belt and a rotating forming roller to curve or curl the malleable baked chips around the roller. The malleable baked chips are subjected to a guided curtain of air to cool and set the chips in a curved or wave configuration and to remove or blow the curved or wave chips off of the rotating forming roller onto the conveyor belt.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2010Publication date: November 25, 2010Applicant: KRAFT FOODS GLOBAL BRANDS LLCInventors: Mihaelos Nicholas MIHALOS, Theodore Nicholas JANULIS, Chris E.

Publication number: 20050249845Abstract: Provided is a process for preparing filled cracker snacks containing a creamy, lubricious low Aw, and bake stable filler encased within crisp oven-baked cracker with efficiency and consistency despite the difficult rheology of the filler. In a first step, a smooth textured, bakable filling is prepared comprising an oil phase, an aqueous phase and a solids phase by a process comprising blending the ingredients and mixing with high shear to form a homogeneous filler having a viscosity of greater than 1.5×105 centipoise. Also prepared are top and bottom sheets of cracker dough, the bottom of which is moved at a predetermined horizontal velocity for depositing a plurality of continuous or intermittent streams of a bakable filling thereon from a depositor comprising a plurality of openings. The top dough sheet is then placed over the bottom sheet, and the sheets are cut and/or scored in a predetermined pattern to form a composite unbaked dough and filling.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2004Publication date: November 10, 2005Inventors: Mihaelos Mihalos, Allison Antonini, Carol Wines, Gary Lewis, Jennifer Thomas, Kristine Gerard, Julia DesRochers, Zena Forte
