Description
SPECIFICATION
Method and apparatus for frozen products
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the production and handling of frozen products, and dispensing receptacles containing frozen product which are manufactured thereby. Although the invention is of particular application in the production of ice cream in the form of shaped end products, it is not restricted to such material, but for convenience of illustration the foilowing description will refer in greater detail to the production of ice cream balls for use on ice cream cornets.
The object of the invention is to provide improvements in the preparation of a shaped frozen product, and in the storage thereof, and in the eventual dispensing thereof.
According to the present invention, a method of preparing a dispensing receptacle containing a frozen product comprises:
(i) placing a first quantity of the product, in a flowable state, in a first part-mould,
(ii) placing a second quantity of the product, in a flowable state,- in a second partmould,
(iii) cooling both of the part-moulds until the product therein is substantially all frozen,
(iv) placing the part-moulds together so that an exposed surface of the first quantity of product is able to contact an exposed surface of the second quantity of product,
(v) with the part-moulds being retained together, freezing the quantities of product as an integral whole.
Further according to the invention, a method of preparing a multiple dispensing receptacle containing a plurality of items of frozen product comprises:
(i) placing first quantities of the product, in a flowable state, into respective cavities of a first part-mould,
(ii) placing second quantities of the product, in a flowable state, into respective cavities of a second part-mould,
(iii) cooling both of the part-moulds until the product therein is substantially all frozen,
(iv) placing the part-moulds together so that an exposed surface of each first quantity of the product is able to contact an exposed surface of a respective second quantity of the product,
(v) with the part-moulds beinq retained together, freezing the quantities of product to form respective integral wholes.
In a preferred embodiment, the part-moulds are secured together during the freezing step, and in a convenient manner the part-moulds are made of thermoplastic material and are secured together by application of heat at one or more positions so as to cause coalescing of the material of the part-moulds.
Prior to introduction of the quantities of product into the part-moulds, advantageously each part-mould is treated with an anti-stick preparation.
The cooling of the part-moulds until the product therein is substantially all frozen may conveniently be carried out by floating the filled part-moulds on a brine bath.
According to a further feature of the invention, dispensing of the integral shaped frozen product from the retained-together partmoulds comprises a step of separating the part-moulds such that the shaped frozen product remains in one of the part-moulds, from which it is thereafter removed. To facilitate such removal, advantageously at least one of the part-moulds has its mould cavity defined in a stiff but manually deformable material.
According to a further feature of the invention, where the frozen product is prepared in retained-together part-moulds having a plural- ity of cavities containing the product, corresponding portions of the two part-moulds may be separated from the remainder, and thereafter one portion removed from the other to provide access to the frozen product. Advantageously, the part-moulds are made of a sheet material, such as a plastics material, which can readily be severed manually, e.g. sheet polyethylene or the like which can be cut with scissors.
According to a still further feature of the invention, each part-mould is in the form of a generally planar sheet having a plurality of mould cavities in it, and retained-together part-moulds are stacked side by side in vertical position in a cold storage structure, such that each individual pair of retained-together part-moulds can be withdrawn upwardly when required.
To facilitate separation of portions of the partomoulds, at least one of the part-moulds may have a notch formation permitting entry of a separating means, such as a finger nail or a knife edge or other tool, between overlying web portions of the part-moulds.
As a new industrial product, the invention provides moulds each consisting of two partmoulds secured face to face with their cavities aligned, each entire mould cavity containing an entire shaped frozen food product such as a portion of ice cream.
In order that the nature of the invention may be readily ascertained, an example of a method and embodiments of apparatus for use therein and an end product obtained, in accordance with the invention, are hereinafter particularly described with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figs. 1 to 7 illustrate, in sequence, a number of stages in the preparation of a filled multiple dispensing receptacle;
Fig. 8 is a plan view of the filled multiple dispensing receptacle;
Fig. 9 is s side elevation of an individual dispensing receptacle, after parting off from the remainder;
Fig. 10 is a side elevation of the individual dispensing receptacle after removal of one portion of mould.
The preparation of ice cream in a shaped end product involves stages of preparation of a mix, placing mix into a mould, freezing, storing under low temperature, and removal of the shaped end product for dispensing. The method and apparatus to be described are adapted for the preparation of substantially spherical portions of ice cream to be used in the making of ice cream cornets, but the invention is not limited to such items, and details of mix, temperature, and shape are not essentials.
Referring to figure 1 of the drawings, use is made of a multiple dispensing receptacle which essentially comprises two part-moulds 1, placed eventually face to face. The partmould 1 has a web area 2 and a plurality of mould cups 3, and the part-moulds are of similar shape and dimensions so that they can be placed in aligned pairs with the cups face to face to provide, in total, a substantially spherical mould cavity.
In carrying out the method of this invention, two of the part-moulds 1 are sprayed at 4, at least in the cups 3, with an anti-stick preparation of known kind adapted to give easy release of frozen ice cream from a mould.
Referring to figure 2, each of the cups 3 of the two part-moulds 1 are then filled at 5 with ice cream mix.
Referring to figure 3, the two part-moulds 1, with their liquid ice cream content, are then floated on a brine bath 6 until substantially the whole of the ice cream content 7 has become set hard. In practice it is possible to time the operation such that the exposed under surface, i.e. most remote from the brine, is just about on the point of setting, and is still fluid or pasty or tacky.
The part-moulds 1 are then removed from the brine bath and (see fig. 4) are placed face to face. The ice cream content of the aligned opposed cups 3 then tends to merge together at the contacting exposed faces, so that the ice cream content as a whole assumes a roughly spherical shape.
Referring now to figure 5, the two partmoulds 1, in face to face contact, are then secured together. In practice the part-moulds 1 are conveniently made of a heat-sealable plastics material, such as polyethylene, and a method of securing them together consists of passing a heated metal bit 8, similar to a wire bit of an industrial soldering iron, through the web portion 2, thereby creating a fused mutual ring-shaped formation 9 similar in appearance to a hollow rivet.
Referring to figure 6, the assembled partmoulds 1,1 are then transferred to a freezer/coldstore apparatus 10 where the contents are frozen hard, until the time comes for transfer to a sales point, such as a vehicle.
For retail sales purposes, the mould assemblies 1,1 are transferred to a freezer cabinet 11, wherein they are stacked vertically in parallel spaced position. In the drawings, the part-moulds 1 are shown for purposes of simple illustration as having only six mould cups 3, but in practice the part-moulds 1 may be made much larger and may have, say, seventy-two or any desired greater number of such cups.
When stacked vertically in the cabinet 11, the mould assemblies 1,1 occupy only a small space, and accordingly a very large number of the assemblies 1,1 can be stored in a cabinet of moderate dimensions, e.g. a cabinet in a small motor vehicle or in a shop. The possibility of having a relatively large number of mould assemblies 1,1 in a single storage cabinet gives the possibility of the sales outlet having a relatively very large number of different flavours all available at the same time, but in a small space.
When it is desired, by the sales personnel, to dispense an ice cream portion from one of the mould assemblies 1,1, the assembly is drawn up out of the cabinet 11 to a sufficient extent, and the assembly 1,1 is then cut, e.g.
with a pair of scissors, successiveiy along the lines 12,13 seen in figure 8. This separates off one pair of mould cups 3 with their frozen contents. One of the part-moulds 1 is made with cut-outs 14 with the result that when the pair of mould cups has been parted off in this manner, it is then a simple manner to separate the two web portions 2a,2b (see Fig. 9) by lifting up a corner with the fingers, as seen at 1 5. The upper mould portion is lifted away completely, leaving the ice cream product 1 6 exposed ready for placing into a cornet, the ejection of the ice cream product being facilitated by deformation of the mould cup 3 with the fingers. The emptied mould portions are then discarded.
Thus, from the time of receipt of an order, the only actions required of the sales person are (i) to lift up the appropriate flavour-sheet of moulds, (ii) to cut along the lines 1 2,1 3 and replace the remainder of the sheet, (iii) to prise open the mould portions, and (iv) to eject the ice cream product into the cornet.
There is no manual contact of the ice cream product, and it is not touched by any dispensing tool. Until the moment of ejection from the mould cup, the ice cream product is substantially hermetically sealed in the mould cups.
