An enrober is a machine used in the confectionery industry to coat a food item with a coating medium, typically chocolate. Foods that are coated by enrobers include nuts, ice cream, toffee, biscuits and cookies. Enrobing is essentially a mechanized alternative to hand-dipping. Enrobing with chocolate extends a confection's shelf life.
Coating a confection in chocolate was traditionally a slow manual process involving dipping the pieces into melted chocolate by hand. As demand for chocolate-coated sweets grew, it became impractical or impossible to employ enough people to dip sweets into melted chocolate to keep up with required production capacity. To fulfill this need for high-capacity chocolate coating, the enrober machine was invented in France in 1903, brought to the United States, and perfected to perform the work of at least twenty people.
The process of enrobing involves placing the items on the enrober's feed band, which may consist of a wire mesh or containers in which the confection to be enrobed are placed, with each container having drain holes to recover excess chocolate. The enrober maintains the coating medium at a controlled constant temperature and pumps the medium into a flow pan. The medium flows from the flow pan in a continuous curtain and bottoming bed that the food items pass through, completely coating them. A wire mesh conveyor belt then transports the coated confection to a cooling area.
The whole world is getting high
While all our jobs are so dry.
I can see, I can hear your cries.
I'm not the type of guy
To let my life pass me by.
And all I know, I've heard back at home.
Oh, your mom was a centerfold.
Your dad was so typical.
I'm a lush, so what's your story?
And every single day,
I watch as my neighbors pray:
"Please don't fill our world with hate."
And when will the world see
There aren't any bad seeds?
With life comes room to grow.
Oh, your mom was a centerfold.
Your dad was so typical.
I'm a junkie, so what's your story?
I'm sorry, boys and girls,
But you will be judged AND labeled your entire life.
No ifs, ands, or buts.
We all have our problems,
And we all have our habits.
So what exactly separates you from me?
Oh, your mom was a centerfold.
Your dad was so typical.
I'm a lush, yeah, so what's your story?
Oh, your mom was a centerfold.
Your dad was so typical.
I'm a junkie, so what's your story?
(Oh, OH, oh...)
You're bound to be a centerfold.
(Oh, OH, oh...)
You're bound to be typical.
I'm a lush, so what's your story?
I'm a junkie, so what's your story?
