摘要:
The invention relates to a method for cooling a flowable melted food material including:(a) providing a device comprising a first cooling belt and a second cooling belt parallel to the first cooling belt, wherein each cooling belt is continuous and has an outer surface and an inner surface, the first and second cooling belts are aligned at an angle between 45° and 90° relative to horizontal, and the outer surface of the first cooling belt and the outer surface of the second cooling belt are spaced apart to form a gap having a top end and a bottom end;(b) introducing a free-flowing molten food product capable of forming a food product having a pasty consistency is cooling at the top end of the gap;(c) counter-rotating the first and second cooling belts toward each other at the top end of the gap to draw the molten food product between the downward moving outer surfaces of the first and second cooling belts to form a strip of molten food product between the downward-moving outer surfaces of the first and second cooling belts: and(d) applying a cooling liquid to the inner surfaces of the first and second cooling belts to cool the free-flowing molten food product to form a strip of food product having a pasty consistency, whereby the strip of food is cooled simultaneously on both sides.
