ELECTROMECHANICAL CHOCOLATE MASS DISINTEGRATING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: food- processing industry. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has vertical container with two-staged disintegration system. Inner wall of each stage has conical longitudinal section with inclination angle of upper stage with respect to vertical axis of container exceeding that of lower stage. Ferromagnetic disintegrating members positioned in upper part of container have diameter exceeding that of ferromagnetic members mounted in lower part of container. Permanent electric magnet mounted within container on rotor serves as mixer. Electric magnet is formed as rectangular blade made from ferromagnetic material and provided with tangentially positioned control windings, which are connected with control device through power unit. EFFECT: increased efficiency in disintegrating liquid or semiliquid chocolate mass, simplified construction, wider operational capabilities and improved quality of product. 1 dwg
