Batch weighing system for precise raw ingredient mixing
Optimize your confectionery production with a precise batch weighing and mixing system, ensuring consistent and high-quality formulations. Maximize process efficiency while minimizing ingredient waste through meticulous control and accuracy in ingredient handling.
Accurately Weighs and Mixes Confectionery Ingredients
The AUTOGRAV® system from CHOCOTECH GmbH is a versatile batch weighing and mixing solution designed for the confectionery industry. This system excels in precise metering and mixing of raw ingredients, crucial for producing high-quality sweets like caramels, nougat, and chocolate bars. Its multi-stage process begins with accurate weighing, using several configurations tailored to different production needs, such as cold mix slurries or steam-jacketed solutions for dissolving sugar crystals.
The system’s design incorporates options like a high shear mixer for enhanced emulsification and homogenization, particularly beneficial when working with milk and fat in caramel production. Integration into automated production lines is seamless, supported by robust PLC controls for optimal operation. The AUTOGRAV® is available in various sizes, accommodating batch sizes from 150 liters to 750 liters, making it suitable for diverse production scales.
Engineered for efficiency, it minimizes energy consumption with steam jacketed options, ensuring uniform temperatures and preventing ingredient adhesion to vessel walls. The construction materials are selected for their durability and corrosion resistance, meeting the stringent standards of food and confectionery manufacturing. Customization is available to match specific processing requirements, supported by CHOCOTECH’s engineering expertise.
