Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a valve flap ( 1 ) for producing a casting machine valve ( 100 ), in particular for installing into a casting machine for casting a flowable substance, in particular a liquid substance with suspended solid particles, such as chocolate for example, in which cocoa particles and sugar particles are typically suspended in a molten fatty substance that has cocoa butter and milk fat to a greater or lesser extent. The valve flap is designed such that a valve can be produced with at least one other valve element, said valve consisting in particular of at least two valve flaps ( 1 ) that are preferably identical.
