Fully automatic chocolate processing line
Accelerate your chocolate and confectionery production with this high-speed system, designed for precise weighing, mixing, grinding, and conching of diverse formulations, ensuring consistent texture and flavor profiles.

Processes Chocolate, Creams, and Fat-based Compounds
The CAO B3000-CHOC DUO from Caotech is a sophisticated batch chocolate processing system engineered for versatility in food production. Specially crafted to handle chocolate, creams, bread spreads, and fat-based compounds, it excels in simultaneous weighing, mixing, grinding, and conching. This unit features two CAO C3000 ball mills integrated with a Mini Mix weighing/mixing unit, making it a formidable solution for achieving precise end fineness of 22-25 microns within approximately 60 minutes. With an effective throughput of up to 900 kg/h, it addresses demands in chocolate manufacturing, bakery, and ice cream production. Its fully automatic operation is supported by optional automatic feeding systems, including dosing units for fats, lecithin, and flavors. The CAO B3000-CHOC DUO’s compact design requires minimal floor space and eliminates the need for a foundation, while low energy consumption and minimal maintenance further optimize operational efficiency, making it ideal for chocolate manufacturers and food processing companies seeking reliable, high-speed production.
