Crystallization and aeration unit for fat-based center masses

Efficiently manage the crystallization and aeration of fat-based center masses and crème fillings, eliminating the need for precooling on conveyor belts to streamline your production process.

Crystallizes and Aerates Fat-Based Center Masses

The SuperNova Orbit from Aasted is designed for precise crystallization and aeration of fat-based center masses, making it an essential addition for chocolate, confectionery, and bakery production lines. Suitable for continuous and high-speed operations, it allows for efficient processing of products such as chocolate truffles, cream-filled donuts, and mousse-filled chocolates. The unit works by injecting air in the midst of the crystallization process, efficiently dispersing it for consistent aeration without a traditional mixing head. It processes both aerated and non-aerated masses with its unique constant velocity scrapers, ensuring a homogeneous texture throughout.

With a robust capacity for medium to large-scale production, the SuperNova Orbit readily integrates with existing tempering machines, extruders, depositors, and cooling tunnels. Constructed with high-quality materials to withstand demanding operations while maintaining hygiene, it simplifies handling by transferring almost crystallized masses to wire cutters and extruders without precooling. Experience minimized waste and reduced production time with this innovative solution that aligns with evolving industry standards and energy efficiency goals.

Benefits

  • Enhances product consistency and quality by ensuring homogenous texture in aerated and non-aerated masses.
  • Increases production efficiency with fast crystallization and reduced need for precooling steps.
  • Lowers production waste through streamlined mass handling and precise aeration control.
  • Boosts operational flexibility with the capability to process a diverse range of fat-based formulations.
  • Integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, supporting high-speed, continuous operations.
