  • Tempering channel for confectioneries
    Patent number: 8056470
    Abstract: A tempering channel (1) for tempering confectioneries (4) includes a tempering tunnel (2) and a conveyor belt (5) having an upper part (11) and a lower part (12). A transfer location (8) is located at the conveyor belt (5). The confectioneries (4) arrive at the transfer location (8) to be placed on the upper part (11) of the conveyor belt (5). The conveyor belt (5) transports the confectioneries (4) through the tempering tunnel (2). A first tempering apparatus (6) tempers the confectioneries (4) while they are transported through the tempering tunnel (2). The tempering channel (1) includes a control unit (16) and at least one sensor (15) sensing the temperature of the lower part (12) of the conveyor belt (5). The sensor (15) is connected to the control unit (16) to transmit a signal to the control unit (16) depending on the sensed temperature. A second tempering apparatus (14) is connected to the control unit (16).
