Device And Method For Producing A Product

Patent No. EP4087410 (titled "Device And Method For Producing A Product") was filed by Knobel on Jan 11, 2021. The application was issued on Jun 26, 2024.

Patent Summary

Chocolate moulding device that uses horizontal vibration to deaerate chocolate without loud impacts. A vibrator shakes the mould sideways until it hits a lateral stop, transferring kinetic energy to remove air bubbles and spread the mass evenly. An elastic strip in the stop absorbs the impact to stop noise. The setup can also include vertical vibration for better mixing. This approach ensures uniform shell thickness and prevents defects like holes or uneven edges while keeping the production environment quiet.
