Chocolate moulding line for lentils, balls, and eggs

Achieve precision and efficiency in molding chocolate centers for lentils, balls, and eggs with advanced rollers and integrated cooling technology, ensuring consistent shape and quality for downstream sugar-coating and polishing.

Moulds and Cools Chocolate Products Precisely

The Eriksen Moulding Line from Aasted is engineered for chocolate and confectionery industries, optimizing the production of chocolate eggs, lentils, and balls. This line features cooled precision rollers that mould chocolates into uniform shapes, cooled between -15° and -25°C, ensuring a perfect gloss and consistency. The Type ES offers a mobile roller section, a cooling unit, and a sieve drum to streamline production, while Type E provides a stationary roller setup. Both models support future expansion with additional rollers and conveyors. Suitable for high-speed continuous operations, this line integrates easily into existing setups, allowing quick changeovers and minimal downtime. It’s particularly efficient in energy use due to optimized cooling elements and supports easy maintenance through modular design.
