Abstract: The method for forming confectionery shells by a stamp element and a conveyable casting mold (1), in which a molding cavity (2) is intended, comprises joining a separable mold, filling a confectionery mass (3) into the molding cavity, and pre-forming a shell-shaped confectionery body with a surplus confectionery mass before carrying out the stamping process. The stamp element and the casting mold pass by a displacement device of a stamping process. The casting mold is almost completely filled with the confectionery mass and then turned for pre-forming the confectionery mass. The method for forming confectionery shells by a stamp element and a conveyable casting mold (1), in which a molding cavity (2) is intended, comprises joining a separable mold, filling a confectionery mass (3) into the molding cavity, and pre-forming a shell-shaped confectionery body with a surplus confectionery mass before carrying out the stamping process. The stamp element and the casting mold pass by a displacement device of a stamping process. The casting mold is almost completely filled with the confectionery mass and then turned for pre-forming the confectionery mass from the spatial position, in which it is filled, so that a part of the initial surplus quantity is emptied under using the force of gravity from the turned casting mold. A reduced surplus quantity of the confectionery mass is adhesively left at a surface of the molding cavity. The emptied casting mold is back-turned. The finished internal contour of the confectionery shells is formed by the stamping process. The turned casting mold is shifted for emptying the surplus confectionery mass in a centrifuge movement, which is guided in a plane on a circular path. The confectionery mass present in the molding cavity is degassed before emptying. A surplus part of the confectionery mass is expelled from the mold during the stamping process. The surplus part of the confectionery mass is conveyed from an edge of the confectionery shells up to the upper side of the casting mold surrounding the molding cavity. The part of the confectionery mass conveyed from the molding cavity is separated from the confectionery mass existing within the mold. A connector piece is produced between the expelled confectionery mass and the confectionery mass existing within the mold. The confectionery shells are formed, so that they receive an edge refraction inwardly directed to its shell edge. The surplus part of the confectionery mass is removed from the upper side of the casting mold and then conveyed in a plant intended for producing the confectionery mass. The expelled part of the confectionery mass, in which a lick roller rotates over the upper side of the casting mold, is worn out on the upper side of the casting mold. The confectionery mass adhesively remains at the rotating lick roller. The adhered confectionery mass is removed from the rotating lick roller. The confectionery mass is adhesively remains at the upper side of the casting mold by the emptying process, and is removed and guided before the stamping process. An independent claim is included for a station for forming confectionery shells.
