专利汇可以提供Process of liquifying and conching refined chocolate and an apparatus for performing the process专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且Chocolate continuously fed from refiners is continuously liquified and conched in an apparatus consisting of a compression stage, a shredding stage, a vibration stage, a blending stage and a final conching stage arranged one after another. Each of the compression, shredding and vibration stages includes a rotary shaft extending in and along a trough and carrying blades appropriate to the function being performed. Each of the blending and final conching stages includes an upright cylindrical vessel containing a rotary gate-type blade rotatable about the axis of the vessel.,下面是Process of liquifying and conching refined chocolate and an apparatus for performing the process专利的具体信息内容。

1. Chocolate liquifying and conching apparatus, in which the chocolate being liquified and conched advances continuously, the apparatus comprising a compression stage in which refined chocolate is compressed into a stodgy chocolate mass and fat is forced from the inside of the mass to the outside thereof, a shredding stage which is downstream of said compression stage and continuously communicates therewith and in which the stodgy mass is shredded and thus fat is moved from the outside of the mass to the inside thereof to make the mass more fluid, and a vibration stage which is downstream of said shredding stage and continuously communicates therewith and in which the more fluid mass is vibrated and thus converted into a pumpable liquid mass, said compression stage comprising a trough, a rotary shaft extending in and along said trough, and blades mounted on said shaft at intervals therealong and compressing the refined chocolate in said trough, said shredding stage comprising a trough, a rotary shaft extending in and along its trough, and blades mounted on its shaft at intervals therealong, and said vibration stage comprising a trough, a rotary shaft extending in and along its trough, blades mounted on its shaft at intervals therealong and substantially completely submerged in said more fluid mass, and drive means connected to its shaft for rotating its shaft at high speed.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1, and further comprising a blending stage which is downstream of said vibration stage and continuously communicates therewith and in which said pumpable liquid mass is blended with additives while being further conched.
3. Apparatus according to claim 2, and further comprising a final conching stage which is downstream of said blending stage and continuously communicates therewith.
4. Apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said final conching stage comprises a vessel, an inlet of said vessel for the blended mass, an outlet of said vessel for the finally conched mass, and a rotary gate-type blade mounted in said vessel for performing the final conching.
5. Apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said gate-type blade is mounted for rotation about a substantially vertical axis, and said inlet is at a lower level than said outlet.
6. Apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said blending stage comprises a vessel, a first inlet of said vessel for said pumpable liquid mass, a second inlet of said vessel for said additives, and an outlet of said vessel for the blended mass, and a rotary gate-type blade mounted in said vessel for performing the blending.
7. Apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said gate-type blade is mounted for rotation about a substantially vertical axis, and said first inlet is at a lower level than said outlet.
8. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said blades of said compression stage are gate-type blades.
9. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said compression stage further comprises baffle means in its trough tending to restrict movement of the refined chocolate being compressed.
10. Apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said baffle means comprises sluice means openable to allow complete emptying of the trough of said compression stage.
11. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said blades of said shredding stage are slightly inclined to axial planes of its shaft, the leading edges of these blades being offset relatively to the respective lagging edges of these blades in the direction of movement of the stodgy mass along the shaft.
12. Apparatus according to claim 11, wherein said blades of said shredding stage are inclined at between 0* and 30* to said axial planes.
13. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said blades of said vibration stage are slightly inclined to axial planes of its shaft, and some of these blades along this shaft have their leading edges disposed ahead of their respective lagging edges in the direction of movement of the more fluid mass along the shaft, and the others of these blades have their leading edges disposed rearwardly of their respective lagging edges in this direction of movement.
14. Apparatus according to claim 13, wherein said blades of said vibration stage are inclined at between 0* and 10* to said axial planes of its shaft.
15. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said vibration stage further comprises another rotary shaft extending in and along its trough and above its first-mentioned shaft, and other blades mounted on said other rotary shaft and slightly inclined to axial planes of said other rotary shaft such that their lagging edges are offset with respect to their respective leading edges in the direction of movement of the more fluid mass along said other rotary shaft.
16. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said vibration stage further comprises baffle means in its trough tending to dam the pumpable liquid mass.
17. Apparatus according to claim 16, wherein said baffle means comprises sluice means openable to allow complete emptying of said trough of said vibration stage.
18. Apparatus according to claim 1, and further comprising recycling means for recycling at least part of said pumpable liquid mass to said refined chocolate.
