Abstract: For producing an aerated confectionery mass, a raw confectionery mass is fed at a feed rate from a supply to an aeration unit for introducing gas into the confectionery mass and wherein the aerated confectionery mass is fed to a production line for the production of confectionery or tablets. The feed rate of the raw confectionery mass is controlled such that it corresponds to the demand of the production line, the amount of introduced gas is controlled in response to the feed rate of the confectionery mass so that the aeration level of the confectionery mass remains substantially constant and the temperature of the aeration mass within the aeration unit is controlled such that it remains substantially constant and independent from the feed rate.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of producing a molded confectionery product, comprising the steps of transferring a fat-containing confectionery mass and a water carrier, blending the fat-containing confectionery mass and the water carrier in a mixer to a substantially homogeneous blended mass, and depositing the blended mass in at least one mould or onto a conveyor belt. The present disclosure is characterized in that the above steps are performed within 60 seconds or less. The apparatus for producing a molded confectionery product of the present disclosure comprises channels for transferring of a fat-containing confectionery mass and a water carrier, a mixer for blending the fat-containing confectioner mass and the water carrier to a substantially homogeneous blended mass, and at least one mixing nozzle for depositing of the blended mass.
