Chocolate processing production line
Efficiently streamline your chocolate and compound production with a fully automatic system capable of continuous weighing, mixing, and fine grinding, ensuring precise control and consistent quality in every batch.
Processes and Grinds Chocolate and Compounds
The CAO 4000[3]-CHOC IN-LINE from Caotech is an engineered-to-order system designed for continuous chocolate and compound processing. This system integrates low-speed agitated ball mills with a Mini Mix unit, enabling precise weighing, mixing, conching, and grinding of chocolates, creams, bread spreads, and fat-based compounds. Capable of producing up to 2,500 kg/h, it operates efficiently with PLC automation, ensuring seamless integration into existing production lines. The system reduces energy consumption and minimizes wear through its optimized motor control and low-speed operation, ensuring quality and reliability. Compact and robust, it requires no foundational support, saving valuable floor space. Ideal for food, chocolate manufacturing, and confectionery industries, it supports diverse applications—from dark chocolate bars and pralines to vegan coatings and nut spreads. Designed with versatility in mind, the CAO 4000[3]-CHOC IN-LINE provides continuous, high-quality product output with minimal maintenance costs, making it indispensable for high-demand production environments.
