    Abstract: A system for producing chocolate-based articles in solidifying form includes a transportation system having at least a first conveyor belt looped around at least a first and second axes. A dispensing unit is arranged to dispense chocolate mass in liquid form along an outer surface of a top load carrying side of the at least first conveyor belt. The at least one conveyor belt is arranged for transporting the chocolate mass through at least one cooling chamber at a predetermined speed along a first and a second cooling path, which may be positioned opposite one another. The system may further include a release mechanism positioned along the second cooling path for releasing the chocolate mass from an outer surface of the bottom load carrying side of the at least first conveyor belt.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for preparing and dispensing food contents, typically molten chocolate. In one aspect, a system includes a deformable fluid-tight container shell defining an internal volume and separating the internal volume from an external environment; a semi-solid content contained within the internal volume; a valve stem operationally connected to and disposed at least partially through the deformable container shell; and a valve disposed in the external environment and operationally connected to the valve stem. The semi-solid content may be a hydrophobic matrix with at least partially emulsified hydrophilic components suspended therein; the container shell may be substantially fluid-tight; the valve may be self-cleaning; the internal volume may be in fluidic communication with the external environment where the valve is open but not when the valve is closed.

    Abstract: A transportable chocolate crafting system a casing box in which is arranged a plurality of heating compartments, wherein each of the heating compartments are configured to receive one of a plurality of containers that hold a quantity of chocolate. The containers are separately heated by a plurality of electrically-powered heating units, to melt the quantity of chocolate and to maintain the melted chocolate in a molten, flow able state. A control system or master controller detects a presence of a container in a heating compartment, detects a quantity of chocolate in the container, monitors a temperature of the chocolate in the container and controls an application of heat to the heating unit in the heating compartment in which the detected container is present, based on a calculated desired chocolate state and a calculated temperature gradient.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1; 1′) and a method for casting an edible product from a castable mass (M), particularly a fat mass such as chocolate. The casting device (1; 1′) comprises a mass container (2; 2′) for receiving the castable mass (M) and a metering unit (3, 4; 3′, 4′) having nozzles (32; 32′) in a fluid connection with the interior of the mass container. The metering unit (3, 4; 3′, 4′) has a nozzle block (3; 3) having nozzles (32; 32′) on the side facing away from the mass container (2; 2′) and a valve block (4; 4′) having at least one valve (42; 42′) on the side facing the mass container (2; 2′), a metering chamber (7; 7′) being delimited between the nozzle block (3; 3′) and the valve block (4; 4′) and having a metering chamber volume (V) that can be changed by a relative motion between the nozzle block (3; 3) and the valve block (4; 4′). The casting method comprises following steps: a) filling the mass container with the castable mass; b) drawing the mass into the metering chamber by enlarging the metering chamber volume by a first relative motion between the nozzle block and the valve block; c) discharging mass from the metering chamber by reducing the metering chamber volume by a second relative motion between the nozzle block and valve block.

    Abstract: A point-of-sale apparatus for making customized chocolate articles includes one or more temperature-controlled chocolate tempering machine(s) for melting and storing tempered liquid chocolate, a dispenser for dispensing the liquid chocolate into a cavity formed in a single-use mold, a dispenser for depositing one or more selected food product exclusions across the surface of the liquid chocolate, a vibrating table for removing air bubbles and distributing the exclusions evenly, a cooling tunnel for rapidly cooling the chocolate article, and one or more conveyors for moving the single-use chocolate mold and carrying it through the cooling tunnel. The exclusion dispenser may include a hopper having a funnel and a grate with different sized openings corresponding to different sized exclusions. The single-use mold may carry a customer identifier for later identification. The single-use mold containing the solidified custom chocolate article may be deposited directly into a box provided to the customer.
