The Direct-Mold Blister Packaging System for Chocolate and Gummy Products provides an integrated method and apparatus for the production and packaging of confectionery items. The system enables pouring of molten chocolate or gummy mixture directly into custom plastic molds. These molds not only shape the confections but also form part of the final packaging. After the confections solidify, a metallic film is used to overlay and seal the molds, ensuring prolonged freshness and protection. This film also enhances the visual appeal of the package. The packaging system combines the molding and packaging stages into one, offering advantages like shape retention, precise dosage control, and waste reduction

A method for producing hollow products made of a foodstuff material that can be formed in a mould, preferably chocolate, comprising the steps of: providing a mould (40) comprising a mould cavity (44) delimited by a mould surface (42); dispensing into said mould cavity (44) a pre-set amount of said foodstuff material; subjecting said mould (40), in the mould cavity (44) of which said pre-set amount of material is contained, to at least one movement of rotation about an axis of rotation (I1, I2) for distributing said foodstuff material over the entire mould surface (42); and during the step where said mould (40) is subjected to the movement of rotation, setting selected portions (43) of said mould surface (42) in a condition of heat exchange with a thermal-conditioning fluid so as to maintain said selected portions (43) of said mould surface (42) at a temperature different from, preferably lower than, that of the other portions of said mould surface (42).

A robotized line for the production of chocolate products, including a casting chamber, a refrigerated chamber and a demoulding chamber, wherein each of the chambers is equipped with an anthropomorphic robot able to move the moulds during several steps of the production process.
