Abstract: The device for leaching pastries in a dipping process, comprises a leaching tank (1), a fixed transition belt (2) connected with a drive for the pastries to be leached, a dip belt (3) and a fixed loading belt and/or an unloading belt (4) with the drive. The dip belt is vertically relocatable between a loading-, unloading- and/or dripping position and a dipping position in the leaching tank. An upper strand of the belts lies in a plain in the loading-, unloading- and/or dripping position. A holding device is arranged above the upper strand of the dip belt for the leach pastries. The device for leaching pastries in a dipping process, comprises a leaching tank (1), a fixed transition belt (2) connected with a drive for the pastries to be leached, a dip belt (3) and a fixed loading belt and/or an unloading belt (4) with the drive. The dip belt is vertically relocatable between a loading-, unloading- and/or dripping position and a dipping position in the leaching tank. An upper strand of the belts lies in a plain in the loading-, unloading- and/or dripping position. A holding device is arranged above the upper strand of the dip belt for the leach pastries thus ensuring the pastry does not float during the dipping in the leaching tank. The dip belt is coupled outside of the loading-, unloading- and/or dripping position from the drive of the loading- and/or the unloading belt or the transition belt. The loading- and/or the unloading belt or the transition belt is arranged axially relocatable between a first and a second end position, in which the leached pastries are delivered by the dip belt present itself in the loading-, unloading- and/or dripping position at the loading- and/or the unloading belt and /or in which the pastries to be leached are delivered by the transition belt at the dip belt. A connection is produced between the loading- and/or the unloading belt or the transition belt and the dip belt in the second end position, so that the dip belt is driven from the drive of the loading- and/or the unloading belt and/or from the drive of the transition belt. The loading- and/or the unloading belt or the transition belt has a drive roller, which is provided at the side of the loading- and/or the unloading belt or the transition belt turned to the dip belt and is torque-proofly connected at one of their ends with a gear wheel, which is contacted with further gear wheel. The further gear wheel in the second end position of the loading- and/or the unloading belt or the transition belt arrives with another gear wheel for driving the dip belt, which is torque-proofly connected at a deflector roller of the dip belt. The diameters and the number of teeth of the gear wheels are identical. The dip belt is pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically adjustable. Sensors are intended in the drive for vertical adjustment of the dip belt and detect the loading-, unloading- and/or dripping position and the dipping position. The loading- and the unloading belt are formed as slat braided belts and are produced from plastic, stainless steel or further suitable material. The holding device is formed as perforate plate, which is arranged parallel to the dip belt, is produced from plastic and has several continuous holes. The dipping time of the leach pastries and/or the duration of the dipping position of the dip belt are adjustable in the leaching tank. The dripping time of the leach pastries and/or the duration of the loading-, unloading- and/or dripping position of the dip belt is adjustable. The device comprises two part devices that are arranged parallel to each other. The two loading- and/or the unloading belts or the transition belt have a common drive. The loading- and the unloading belt are arranged on an area and have a small inclination, so that the dripping leach is supplyable to the leaching tank. An independent claim is included for a procedure for operating a device for leaching of leach pastries in a dipping process.
