Chocolate Forming

Chocolate bars are popular snacks and gifts for many occasions and events, dating back to the Mayans and the Aztecs. They may also include other ingredients such as caramel, fruits, or nuts. Considering making chocolate bars? Make sure, though, that your chocolate bar making equipment can cover various processes such as grinding and melting, tempering, refining, and cooling.

Chocolate bars

Bonbons are chocolate confectioneries originating from the French royal court in the 17th century. From the French word bon meaning “good”, bonbons are chocolate candies with a filling inside, usually fruits, brittle, nougat, or caramel. Equipment for chocolate bonbons are varied and must be capable of chocolate tempering, molding, scraping, filling, and covering.

Chocolate bonbons

Chocolate in its liquid form is a versatile confection that can serve as a coating for different desserts. The liquid chocolate-making process utilizes a chocolate coating machine and goes through a number of steps before achieving a fine, high gloss, and sharp look. What makes all of this possible is the process of tempering.

Chocolate coatings

Chocolate fillings

Chocolate milk is a beverage containing milk flavored with chocolate powder or chocolate syrup. Cocoa powder, sweetener, sugar, and carrageenan are mixed with the milk and then pasteurized. As cocoa powder has a higher density than milk, carrageenan is used as a thickening agent to prevent cocoa powder from settling to the bottom.

Chocolate milk

Consumers usually eat chocolate spreads along with bread, or other grain-based items, such as pancakes, biscuits, waffles, and others. Although one particular brand has dominated this market for more than 50 years, there is still a place for new, health-friendly innovations and production ideas using chocolate spread machines.

Cocoa beans

Cocoa butter is the fat product of cocoa liquor. It is an integral part of the chocolate-making process. To make cocoa butter, roast and process cocoa beans with the help of a cocoa butter production machine. After that, it undergoes continuous crushing – forming a rich liquid, known as cocoa liquor. You can finally press the liquid to extract cocoa butter.

Cocoa butter

Cocoa liquor or chocolate liquor is a pure, thick cocoa mass containing equal amounts of cocoa solids and cocoa butter. It is made from fermented, dried, and roasted cocoa beans which are cracked to obtain the nibs. The cocoa nibs are then ground into a thick paste called cocoa mass which is melted to became the liquor.

Cocoa liquor

Known as part of the chocolate-making process, cocoa nibs come from the beans derived from the Theobroma cocoa tree. They are nothing else but cocoa beans that have been dried, fermented, and then cracked and separated from their husk.

Cocoa nibs

Cocoa minus its fats makes cocoa powder. Deriving this culinary element follows a careful process of roasting and winnowing cocoa beans before the nibs are ground, generating a liquor. The butter that results from melting fats is removed to leave the ingredient that defines recipes from brownies to a Frostbite cocktail.

Cocoa powder

Compound chocolate is a known alternative for pure chocolate. It uses vegetable fats that are semi-solid at room temperature as an alternative component. Compared to regular chocolates, they can deliver a richer cocoa flavor using practical compound chocolate production methods. It also does not have to undergo tempering due to the natural, glossy texture of vegetable fats.

Compound chocolate

Choosing a dessert is one of the great dilemmas. The decadent creations that satisfy our sweet tooth come in all tastes and consistencies. Fruit-based or dairy-based, baked or frozen, the possibilities are endless. Thankfully, dessert making equipment is less baffling. Ingredients are mixed, heated, formed, cooled, and packaged. But the process is carefully configured according to the parameters of each product.

Forming machines

The process of forming allows you to shape your products homogeneously. Forming machines are fed the manufactured material in bulk and cut it down to specification, so the process takes place between formulation of the mass and the packaging of the final item.

A special class of this equipment – Form, Fill, and Seal Machines (FFS) – creates bags and pouches from flat material such as plastic sheets, fills them with your designated product, and seals them.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

A snack is a small portion of food ready to eat and simple and fast to prepare. People usually consume snacks during the day between traditional meals such as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Snack foods include simple products such as nuts, dried fruits, peanuts as well as packaged and processed foods. Puffed corn products made by extrusion or flavored potato chips are examples of processed foods.

Snacks

During the Middle Ages, sugar sweets were a delicacy only for the rich due to the high cost of sugar. Thankfully, the discovery that sugar could be extracted from sugar beets made sweets affordable for everyone. The sweet category is broad, covering chocolates, chewing gums, sugar candies, and candied/glazed products with sugar. To make these confections, sugar manufacturing equipment needs to cover different steps within the production line such as sugar dissolution, syrup cooking and cooling.

Packaging

Continuous

At last, you reached the final stage of processing your product - welcome to the packing world! Packing preserves and protects a product from damage, spoilage, and contamination while it makes its way from the production line to the consumer or further production. Depending on which industry your products belong to, the type of primary packaging equipment can change drastically. You need to pay careful attention to products with chemicals or hazardous substances since they can be potentially dangerous to human health.

Nougat is a delicious confection that contains lots of nuts and dried fruits. The word “nougat” itself derives from an old Latin word for nuts. In addition to nuts, the white variety of nougat contains egg whites, honey, and sugar. Similar ingredients make brown nougat variations, except caramelized sugar replaces egg whites as the base ingredient. Depending on your intended scale of production, there are quite a few nougat making equipment you should consider getting.

Nougat

You make granola bars from caramelized nuts, grains, and cereals, baking and shaping them into crunchy snacks. Granola bar production involves mixing, forming, baking, and cutting into bars. The quality of granola bars is affected by baking. How the sugar caramelizes and blends with the other ingredients determines the final taste and texture of your granola bar.

Granola bars

The cereal bar production line consists of mixing, cutting and cooling a dough of chosen ingredients. These can be seeds, nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruits - and many more options. It may seem simple, but it needs attention to provide an appetizing look and taste.

Cereal bars

In NASA's early years, a research program was established on how to provide food for astronauts while in space. In fact, in the 1960s, nutrition bars were launched with a label called "Space Food Sticks" because they were designed to allow astronauts to eat them easily while wearing their helmets. Protein bar manufacturing equipment is used to mix ingredients, extrude the mixture at a set temperature, cool the product before cutting it to size, coating it, and allowing it to cool to prepare it for packaging.

Bakery production includes foods usually made from flour such as bread, biscuits, and cakes. Depending on the baked good you want to make, flour can be mixed with water or other ingredients producing a paste called dough or batter. The dough is then baked in the oven using dry heat. During baking, heat is transferred from the air to the dough, first on the surface and then in the center. Moisture and liquids escape through evaporation.

Bakery

Cereals are also defined as breakfast food made from roasted grain and typically eaten with milk or yogurt. Cereal grain is a small, hard, and dry seed, which mainly harvests for human or animal consumption, like wheat, maize, or rye. Processed from the edible components of the grains, breakfast cereals contain rich nutrients and usually serve as the main course during breakfast meals. Different cereal manufacturing equipment allow various options to appear on the market, ranging from cereals, granola, and muesli. Granola and muesli can be converted into cereal bars. The healthy, on-the-go snack bar shows a growing trend due to its nutrient content and convenience.

Fruit pulp is a mass of pressed fresh fruit not meant for immediate consumption. Production of fruit pulp avoids wasting food and preserves the flavors and nutrient value of the fruit product. Processed fruit pulp is an ingredient in beverages, sauces, baby foods, jellies, smoothies, and bakery products.

Tradition and manufacturing procedures dictate the distinction between fruit juice, puree, and pulp. Still, naming and labeling are complex and depend on regulations, type of fruit, texture, consistency, preservation methods, and sugar or solid content (measured in Degrees Brix). Depending on your desired output, there are various fruit pulper machines for different stages of production that make the process quicker and more efficient.

If Popeye needed spinach for his power, you need healthy snacks to boost your energy! From dried fruit chips to nuts and protein bars, healthy snacks have become more popular since the 2000s, and the global healthy snack market will reach USD 98 billion by 2025. In the wide range of healthy snacks, raw fruits and vegetables appear as the main ingredient, and these snacks focus on the high protein content and reduced fat or carbohydrate percentages. Also, “less processed” and “less amount of added chemicals” are the primary trend in making healthy snacks as the clean eating movement began after the 2000s.

People have always loved butter. Suffice it to say that Ancient Norsemen were buried with it to take to the afterlife. It seems impossible but making butter is all about separation. First, you separate the raw milk to get the buttercream using a cream separator. After cooling, mixing and pasteurizing your buttercream, the churning process separates it into buttermilk and butter grains. Then, mix butter grains with salt and use a butter churner to mix the ingredients again, before shaping begins using butter molds.

Can you think of anything better than a slice of bread with some spreadable cheese for a snack? Production of cheese spread is similar to other types of processed cheese, but it contains more moisture to be soft and spreadable. Cheese spread starts with one or more types of cheese along with other ingredients and food additives such as stabilizers and emulsifiers. After mixing and vacuum cooking these ingredients, you can pour them into molds for cooling before packaging.

Aseptic filling equipment is crucial for sensitive products, as they need to be filled into their primary packaging in an environment free from contamination caused by harmful bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms. Choosing an aseptic filling solution requires consideration of the physical form of the product, the type of primary packaging, the volume to be dosed per package, and the production speed. Aseptic fillers are widely used for cleaning, filling, and sealing pre-sterilized vials, cartridges, ampoules, and syringes in the pharmaceutical industry. Aseptic filling is also used in the food industry to process for example, dairy products that need harmful bacteria's minimized, or ensure shelf-stable products that do not require refrigeration. In these industries, aseptic equipment is integrated into the production line for maximum isolation and sterilization. And, can either be configured as an automated or manual process, depending on standards that the products require.

Aseptic filling equipment

Form, fill, and seal machines complete the packaging, filling, and sealing in one continuous process and eliminate the need for three separate machines. Most form, fill and seal systems use flexible films to form the primary package. Vertical machines are simpler and faster whereas horizontal systems are better suited to the packaging of solid products that do not flow well. Form, fill, and seal machines are widely used in the food industry for packaging snack foods, powdered products, liquids, and pastes and in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of IV bags, powder sachets, and stick packs.

Filling lines are used extensively in all industries, such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetics, to accurately package different products into a container suitable for that product. Although the filling process is at the very end of the production line, it is no less important than the earlier steps. Last but not least, the idiom that dates back to 1382 when John Wyclif wrote the firste the laste, and the laste the firste, indicates just that the last things on a list are just as valuable as the previous ones. In this case, this idiom fits perfectly.
