Hygienic pressure dissolver for high heat exchange

Efficiently dissolve and cook a wide range of confectionery masses with optimal heat transfer, ensuring consistent product quality and minimizing dead zones for residue buildup in your continuous production line.

Processes and Cooks Confectionery Masses Efficiently

The SUCROTWIST® from CHOCOTECH GmbH is an advanced hygienic spiral cooker designed specifically for the high-demand environment of confectionery production. This unique pressure dissolver excels with its compact design and superior heat exchange properties. By channeling the product stream through spiral piping with vertical steam heating, it generates high turbulence, ensuring efficient mixing and cooking of sugar-based and sugar-free masses. Ideal for producing diverse confectionery items—from caramel squares and jelly beans to fondant icing and peanut brittle—this robust machine offers a processing capacity ranging from 50 to 6,000 kg/h, depending on the recipe. Automated via PLC control systems, it seamlessly integrates into continuous production lines, and its full Clean-In-Place (CIP) capability ensures minimal downtime for maintenance, eliminating any residue buildup. Available in corrosion-resistant materials, the SUCROTWIST® is tailored for the food and confectionery industries, providing reliable performance with options for customization to meet specific operational requirements.

Benefits
