[0082] A method for forming thin edible pieces uses two continuous belts that cooperate to form a fill cavity. An edible mass, such as chocolate, is flowed into the fill cavity where it forms an edible blank which is transported on a belt path with the two belts moving in tandem. After the edible blank is released from the first or second continuous belt, a three-dimensional shape may be imparted to the edible blank at a forming station using one or more stamping dies or a forming drum. Using the techniques and apparatus described herein, novel edible products, and particularly novel chocolate products, can be made having shape characteristics that cannot be obtained using known molding or forming techniques.

L'invention concerne un procédé de formation de pièces comestibles minces au moyen de deux bandes continues qui coopèrent afin de former une cavité de remplissage. Une masse comestible, telle que du chocolat, est versée dans la cavité de remplissage, dans laquelle il forme un biscuit comestible qui est transporté sur un chemin de bande alors que les deux bandes se déplacent en tandem. Une fois le biscuit comestible dégagé de la première ou de la seconde bande continue, une forme tridimensionnelle peut être donnée au biscuit comestible au niveau d'un poste de formation au moyen d'une ou plusieurs étampes ou d'un tambour à former. Les techniques et appareil décrits ici permettant de fabriquer des nouveaux produits comestibles, et notamment des nouveaux produits chocolatés possédant des caractéristiques ne pouvant être obtenues au moyen des techniques de moulage et de formage connues.
