Abstract: A device for manufacturing food products having an outer shell made of a flowable mixture, which is filled into a mould, wherein a temperature-controlled die (2) is immersed in the mould and extrudes the mixture wherein the mould into which the flowable mixture is filled is a blister (3), wherein the blister (3) is held by a carrier mould (4), wherein the carrier mould (4) has an intake duct (6) for air and has longitudinal vacuum channels (7) and/or transverse vacuum channels (8) between cavities (5).

Abstract: A method for producing a consumable product (18), in particular a chocolate product, from at least two shell shapes (13, 13.1, 13.2), which are connected to one another, at least in part, along their shell peripheries (12, 12.1, 12.2), wherein a liquid consumable substance (3) is introduced into a mold (2) and then at least one die (4) is plunged into the consumable substance (3) and, by virtue of the consumable substance (3) at least partially solidifying in the mold, a shell shape (13, 13.1, 13.2) is imparted to said consumable substance, and wherein a second die (5) is introduced into the shell shape (13) and, by virtue of said die, a peripheral region of the shell shape is compressed in the upward direction.

Abstract: A method for producing confectionary products having an outer shell made of a substance that is placed inside a mold into which a temperature-controlled male die is subsequently introduced. The substance is placed under pressure after the male die is introduced.

Abstract: A device for metering out a flowable mass, especially a mass containing fat, for producing confectionery products, for example to a nozzle for extruding a mass into a mold. The mass traverses an inlet opening (13) and enters a chamber (8) from where it can be extruded through an outlet opening (14) by a plunger (7). A rotary piston (12) is associated with the plunger (7) and closes the outlet opening (14) in a position of use and the inlet opening (13) in a second position of use. The rotary piston (12) has a recessed portion (16 to 19) which extends from a front edge (15) of the rotary piston (12) towards its peripheral surface (25).

Abstract: A device for treating and/or handling articles (10), especially molds in the production of chocolate articles, comprises a gripper (6) that is arranged on arms (3.1-3.5) which can be displaced along a rail (1) on carriages (2.1-2.4). At least three arms (3.1 to 3.4) are connected to the gripper (6), every arm having its own joint (6, 7, 29) on the gripper (6) which joint is independent of the other arm.

Abstract: A method for producing edibles comprising an outer shell from a mass which is fed into a mold. A tempered male die is dipped into the mold, a process during which an excess amount of the mass overflows an edge of the mold. The excess mass is separated form the shell at the edge of the mold by the male die.

Abstract: An apparatus for moving a working medium in connection with the production and/or modification of confectionary products. In an embodiment, the apparatus includes a housing, a working element, and a linear drive that is configured to move the working element in at least one direction (X, Y, Z).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for applying a shapable mass from an application head of a machine, corresponding to a desired design, onto a freely shapable object in the food and/or chemical industry according to the instructions of a controller. In an embodiment an image/photograph of the object is generated and transferred into a machine control system. The contours to be provided by the shapable mass are subsequently traced, and contour data is transmitted to the controller and used to control the application of the shapable mass from the application head onto an object.
