Chocolate pump for confectionery production
Effortlessly pump and convey a range of chocolate-based products with precision, ensuring smooth flow without overheating, making it ideal for maintaining product integrity during confectionery processing.
Pumps and Conveys Liquid Chocolate Efficiently
The Chocolate Pump by MacIntyre Chocolate Systems is an essential component for chocolate manufacturers and confectionery producers. Constructed with a robust cast iron jacketed body, the pump features an impeller and main drive shaft made of steel, supported by interchangeable liners and both cast iron and bronze bearings, ensuring durability and reliability. Its positive displacement design can be operated in both directions for versatile integration into your production line. Capable of managing various chocolate consistencies, including pure chocolate, compound, couverture, praline, and cream fillings, it operates at slow speeds to prevent chocolate burning. Suitable for vertical pumping up to 4 meters or horizontal runs over 100 meters, it maintains a low energy footprint. Its optional stainless steel configuration and jacketed chocolate pipework cater to specific needs, while advanced pump control options enable efficient operation. This unit seamlessly fits into processes demanding continuous or variable speed operations in food, confectionery, and chocolate manufacturing industries.
