A conching apparatus having: a container, which forms an accommodating space for a product mass, a shaft, which is accommodated, at least in part, in the container and is designed to rotate about its longitudinal axis, and at least one conching tool, which is coupled to the shaft for joint rotation therewith, the conching tool therefore, during conching operation of the conching apparatus, moving in a first direction of circulation along a circulatory path. The conching tool here includes an operative surface, which is directed towards the inner wall of the container and is designed such that a radial gap between the inner wall of the container and the operative surface decreases, at least in part, counter to the first direction of circulation. The invention also relates to a method for conching a product mass.

A method of producing, packaging, and sealing of a prepared food dessert which includes a combination of a brownie mix and a chocolate cake mix to produce a dry mixture. The dry mixture is put into a mason jar or ripple cup and an infusion flavor (candy or chocolate) is added to the mix to obtain a molten lava center after heating. The packaging may comprise a gift cello wrap and/or a heat shrink seal. A spoon may be added to the packaging. The consumer adds water and microwaves the product for a ready to eat dessert.

An apparatus and a method for packaging substantially plate-shaped or cuboid-shaped products in the food industry in a packaging material film, the apparatus having feeding devices for feeding products to a packaging station; guiding devices for feeding a blank of the packaging material film to the packaging station, wherein the product is inserted into the blank such that the packaging material film substantially wraps around the product; discharge devices for discharging the product from the packaging station in a wrapped state; and holding devices being movably configured and arranged to move with the product through the packaging station.

A method of manufacturing a comestible includes providing a comestible mass, forming said comestible mass into a comestible structure having a desired shape using a forming station, and applying a packaging material to a surface of said comestible structure while said comestible structure remains in contact with a portion of said forming station.

In a production facility for coating ice cream products a plurality of carriers are used for transport of the ice cream products from the supply station to a coating station where coating, for example chocolate, is applied to the product. The production facility includes weight equipment configured for automatically weighing the ice cream products before and after application of the coating, which is used in a feedback loop for adjusting the coating parameters, for example chocolate temperature.

A method of manufacturing a comestible includes providing a comestible mass (22), forming said comestible mass into a comestible structure (26) having a desired shape using a forming station (20), and applying a packaging material (54) to a surface of said comestible structure (26) while said comestible structure remains in contact with a portion of said forming station (20).
