To form a confectionery shell, a fluid mass partially fills the mold, which is distorted from below to spread the mass over the mold wall to its edges and form a shell to solidify

摘要

To form a shell from a mass, with a fat and sugar content, a mold is partially filled with the mass while it is in a fluid condition. The mass is displaced over the wall of the mold, to solidify into a shell which can be taken from the mold. The mold is of an elastic material, which can be distorted by a push die unit from below to displace the mass until it is level with the mold edges. To form a shell from a mass (7), with a fat and/or sugar content, a mold (1) is partially filled with the mass while it is in a fluid condition. The mass is displaced over the wall (4) of the mold, to solidify into a shell which can be taken from the mold. The mold is of an elastic material, which can be distorted by a push die unit (9,10) from below, at the center, to displace the mass until it is level with the mold edges (12). When the mass has set, it has a shell shape supported at the mold edges. Cold air is blown at the side of the mold towards the shell mass.
