Compact chocolate enrobing system
Achieve perfect chocolate coatings in minimal space with precise control, enabling high-quality production for diverse confectionery items such as wafers, biscuits, and pralines, ensuring consistent results and extended product shelf life.
Enrobes and Coats Chocolate Products
The Minicoater MC from Sollich KG is a specialized chocolate enrobing machine designed for space efficiency and high-quality coatings. Core to its operation is the Minitemper®Turbo system, providing consistent tempering essential for achieving a perfect gloss and extended shelf life in chocolate products. This machine addresses the need for precise and consistent chocolate application over a variety of products, including biscuits, wafers, and confectionery items like pralines and chocolate bars.
Tailored for food and confectionery industries, the Minicoater MC manages working widths of 320 to 420 mm. Its modular construction facilitates straightforward integration into existing production lines and accommodates continuous processes. Additionally, its programmable settings enhance coating precision and reproduction quality.
Options like the roller curtain trough and strip coating device expand its versatility, allowing for partial and full coatings, including bottom and side coatings. Built-in sieving ensures chocolate purity by separating unwanted particles, while the hold-down roller and wire belt devices ensure uniform coatings across all surfaces. Maintenance is simplified with a design emphasizing easy cleaning, making it an efficient choice for high-volume production environments.
