ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for manufacturing confections includes a moving endless belt defining a surface onto which a hardenable, liquid confectionary material, such as molten sugar, is distributed. The molten sugar is first dispensed in strands extending longitudinally of the moving belt by a device that includes a hopper with a plurality of distribution openings formed in its bottom. A second, similar dispensing device dispenses molten sugar onto the moving belt in strands that extend transversely of the belt. Together the longitudinal and transverse strands cool to form a continuous, self-supporting matrix or core having a random openwork pattern. The sugar matrix is cut and then transferred, on a short transfer conveyor, for example, from the first endless belt to a second endless belt that has a mesh surface. The mesh belt transports the sugar matrix underneath a trough extending transversely of the belt and disposed above the belt. The trough distributes a second hardenable, liquid confectionary material, such as molten chocolate, over the sugar on the belt to coat the sugar. Thereafter, the sugar passes underneath a plenum chamber that leads from a blower and directs a flow of air downwardly over the coated sugar. The flow of air removes molten chocolate from and reopens most of the interstices of the openwork pattern formed by the distributed sugar. The distributed sugar and the chocolate coating are then allowed to cool and harden into a finished confection having a delicate, lace-like appearance.
