Continuous bar production line for confectionery

Streamline your confectionery production with a seamless system for crafting a diverse range of bar-type treats, ensuring precise integration and enhanced operational efficiency.

Forms and Shapes Confectionery Bars Continuously

The Conbar® Continuous Bar Forming System by SOLLICH is designed to address the specific needs of confectionery manufacturers seeking efficient and precise bar production. This system automatically forms candy, cereal, and protein bars, leveraging a continuous flow process to maintain consistent sizing and shaping. With the ability to handle diverse applications—ranging from Snickers and granola bars to pralines and chocolate-covered almonds—the Conbar® system integrates seamlessly into high-speed operations, enhancing line throughput.

Operating through a synchronized formation process, it ensures accurate dosing and forming of ingredients, minimizing waste and maximizing production efficiency. The system is PLC-controlled, allowing for integration with existing production lines, and supports remote monitoring for easy operation management. Built from high-grade materials, it offers resistance to wear and corrosion, significantly reducing maintenance needs.

Energy efficiency is enhanced through optimized motor speed controls, reducing power consumption by up to 15%. Options for stainless steel construction ensure longevity, meeting hygiene and safety standards. Additionally, the system accommodates CIP (Clean-in-Place) protocols, facilitating quick and contamination-free cleaning—perfect for environments demanding rigorous sanitation. Customization options, such as varied sheeter settings and forming moulds, are available to meet specific production requirements, backed by engineering support from SOLLICH experts.
