METHOD AND MACHINE FOR CONTINUOUS COATING OF PRODUCTS (IN PARTICULAR - CONFECTIONARY PRODUCTS) CORES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23G3/00 A23G3/26 A23P1/08 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method and machine for continuous coating of confectionary products cores. The method includes supply of the mass of cores to be coated and of at least one coating material into one of the chambers specified and the said cores coating with the said coating material by way of handing the cores in the chamber. The said drum contains a spirally extending body permanently attached to the said drum to form the said chambers together therewith. The said cores handling in one of the said chambers includes a stage of the said drum angular and cyclic rocking in opposite directions round the said hinge axle with the mass to be treated retained within the said treatment chamber. The said angular and cyclic rocking in opposite directions is performed so that to provide for cyclic relocation and positioning of the said mass to be treated in two oppositely turned angular positions. The machine contains at least one hollow drum having a hinge axis and containing multiple treatment communicating chambers, a drive motor for the said drum rotation round the said axle, the first supply means for supplying the mass of cores to be treated into one of the said chambers and the second supply means for supply of at least one coating material into the said chamber for coating the said cores. Additionally, the machine contains a spirally extending body positioned within the said drum and permanently attached to the said drum to form the said chambers together therewith. One has provided for a commanding and controlling unit of the said motor for the said drum rotation with angular and cyclic rocking in opposite directions round the said hinge axle with the mass to be treated retained within the said treatment chamber. Additionally, the machine contains the third supply means (for supplying into the said drum an air mass that is shared by all the said chambers), pumping up means (for creating in each of the said chambers a corresponding treating air flow) and means for adjustment of the corresponding drying air flow characteristics for each of the said chambers. The said means for drying air flow characteristics adjustment contain a corresponding conditioning unit for each of the said chambers, the unit positioned at the said corresponding chamber input.

EFFECT: invention provides for a method and machine to or continuous coating of confectionary products cores without damage, friction or lamination of the said products to be coated.
