Longitudinal slitting system for confectionery production
Achieve precise confectionery dimensions with our customizable longitudinal slitting system, ideal for optimizing your production line and ensuring consistent product quality across diverse bar and snack formats.

Performs Precise Longitudinal Slitting for Confectioneries
The Longitudinal Slitting Systems are part of Sollich’s comprehensive solutions for confectionery precision. These systems deftly handle the slitting of various confectionery masses, integrating seamlessly with upstream tempering and downstream enrobing processes. With working widths ranging from 400 mm to 1600 mm, they accommodate diverse product specifications, including milk chocolate candy bars and nut brittle bars. Engineered for versatility, they feature easily interchangeable cutting options—wires, fixed knives, or rotating circular knives—to adapt to different production needs.
These systems operate continuously and at high speeds, supporting the rigorous demands of the confectionery and snack manufacturing industries. Their sanitary, non-rusting construction ensures easy cleaning and maintenance, while promoting a hygienic production environment. Additionally, their design supports efficient integration into existing production lines, enhancing throughput without compromising product quality. Sollich’s equipment also offers customizable options and engineering support, allowing confectionery manufacturers to tailor the system to their unique production specifications.
