ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the invention includes an apparatus for making edible articles out of a chocolate or chocolate-like mass that is tempered and deposited directly on a conveyor web. The apparatus includes a holding and cooling device carrying plungers with pressing surfaces arranged above the conveyor web. The plungers with pressing surfaces are configured to be moved up and down relative to the conveyor web. The holding device carries a closure plate which is configured to move relative to the plungers. The closure plate surrounds a periphery of each plunger and is adapted to rest on the conveyor web during pressing of the chocolate or chocolate-like mass, and includes forming surfaces that are adapted to overlap at least part of a rim of the edible articles.
