Crystallization process for chewy candy production
Optimize your confectionery production with precision crystallization, ensuring consistent texture and quality for chewy candies and more.

Crystallizes and Aerates Confectionery Products
The CHEWMASTER® from CHOCOTECH GmbH is a cutting-edge crystallization and aeration system designed for the confectionery industry, specializing in producing chewy nougat, fruit chews, hard toffees, and more. This equipment integrates continuous processing, where a cooked sugar solution is pumped to a tempering screw, facilitating crystallization through controlled supersaturation and mechanical shearing. The TORNADO® module enhances this process by applying intense shear forces to the mass, promoting further crystallization and optionally aerating the mixture for products like aerated chewy candies.
This system caters to high-speed operations, ensuring consistent texture and quality across various confectionery products. With seamless PLC integration and automation, the CHEWMASTER® allows precise control and monitoring, reducing energy consumption and improving overall efficiency. Its stainless steel construction offers durability and resistance to common confectionery processing challenges.
The CHEWMASTER® is engineered for easy integration into existing production lines, offering customizable features to meet specific manufacturing requirements. It supports confectionery manufacturers by ensuring reliable performance and consistent product quality, backed by CHOCOTECH’s extensive engineering support.
