Forming line for croquant, hard candy, and chewy candies
Optimize your candy production with precision forming and embossing, enhancing consistency and quality of sweets, from lollipops to chewy candies, with seamless integration into your existing confectionery lines.

Forms and Embosses Confectionery Products
The SUCROFORM® W from CHOCOTECH is a specialized forming line designed for precise embossing and forming of confectionery products such as hard candy, chewy candies, and croquant. It features a pre-former with a jacketed hopper and horizontally mounted extracting rollers that prepare the slab for forming. This equipment includes a pair of calibration and forming rollers, each with its own tempering circuit, to ensure exact shaping and consistent quality.
Ideal for confectionery manufacturers, this line integrates seamlessly into continuous, high-speed operations, optimizing the production of lollipops, fruit-flavored candies, toffees, nougat, nut brittle, and caramel chews. With its capability to cool formed products via a slab cooler and break them into usable pieces through a slab breaker, the line efficiently supports material reworking by eliminating thin residue skins using de-flash drums.
SUCROFORM® W is tailored for the food and confectionery industries, ensuring robust performance in demanding environments. It can handle solid and granule product types, ensuring versatility in production. The system’s design facilitates automation and smooth integration into existing production lines, providing energy-efficient operation and minimizing downtime for maintenance.
