Patent ID: 7797949

Claim:
A device for moulding foodstuff masses, comprising: a mould ( 14 ) provided with a plurality of sockets ( 16 ) which define respective pouring cavities; at least one insert ( 22 ) made of thermally conductive material associated, in a heat-exchange relationship, with said pouring cavity ( 16 ); at least one thermal-conditioning unit ( 24 ), associated to said insert made of thermally conductive material ( 2 ); a conveying structure ( 12 , 13 ) for moving a plurality of said moulds ( 14 ) along a path of movement; and a control unit ( 34 ) for generating control signals of said thermal-conditioning unit ( 24 ) according to a cycle ( 100 to 126 ) selectively predetermined for the thermal treatment of the material undergoing moulding in the course of the advance along said path, wherein said mould ( 14 ) has electrical contact elements ( 28 ) which emerge on the outer surface of the mould ( 14 ) itself for the electrical supply of said at least one thermal-conditioning unit ( 24 ) and said electrical contact elements ( 28 ) have a slider conformation, so as to enable the electrical supply of said at least one conditioning unit ( 24 ) during movement of said mould ( 14 ) along a path of movement.
