ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling and monitoring the thickness of a chocolate film delivered by chocolate refiners. The chocolate film thickness is controlled by operation of a roller bearing pressure adjustment system of the refiner by way of cut-in signals from an indirect measurement of the instantaneous chocolate film thickness effected by processing representative colorimetric signals for a given mass of chocolate stock of corresponding thickness values emitted by a readout head. The readout head is arranged to reciprocate to measure the film across its entire width. The readout head also enables the integrity of the chocolate film being delivered to be monitored, that is to detect the appearance on the output roller of dry band areas.
In the presence of potential causes of refiner roller seizure, the device, after a presettable time delay, will automatically stop the machine.
