  • Patent number: 11690349
    Abstract: A system for processing a flowable food mass is disclosed which includes a first cooling belt (11) having a face with a transport direction (T); a second cooling belt (12) having a face with a transport direct (T) adjacent to, and parallel with, the face of the first cooling belt (11), wherein the transport direction (T) of the face of the second cooling belt (11) is the same as the transport direction (T) of the face of the first cooling belt; and a film roller arrangement (15) for disposing a plurality of strip-shaped carrier film webs onto the first cooling belt (11), wherein each strip-shaped carrier film web has a pair of parallel edges and the strip-shaped carrier film webs are disposed adjacent to each other without gaps and partially overlap each other at their respective parallel edges to form a carrier film arrangement and a kit of parts for assembling the system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10085412
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for processing a pourable food substance (1), in particular hot melted cheese, which is introduced, by means of a feed neck (2), into a gap (3) between two vertical shaping rolls that are covered by cooling strips (11, 12) made especially of metal, the food substance (1) is shaped into a product strip (10) having a defined thickness, a carrier film arrangement (21) being placed between the first cooling strip (11) and the product strip (10). In order to be cooled, the product strip (10) is conveyed in the direction of travel (T) along with the carrier film arrangement (21) and is fed to a longitudinal cutting device.
