Title: Process for the application of a viscous chocolate mass on a plurality of irregularly-shaped individual objects

Abstract: A process wherein in order to be coated with chocolate, irregularly-shaped objects are placed on a perforated conveyor which is driven to convey them below a roller and above the surface of chocolate in an open-topped bottom container. The roller is mounted for rotation in a bottom outlet of a top chocolate container and is rotatably driven independently of the conveyor so as to stir up chocolate in the top container and to extract chocolate therefrom. Two doctor blades are mounted respectively forward and behind the lowest point of the roller in order to, respectively, limit the thickness of chocolate on the roller and to displace it therefrom. Liquid chocolate is continuously pumped from the bottom container into the top container. The undersides of the objects are coated with chocolate before they reach the roller.
