Conching is a critical step in the manufacturing of chocolate. In this phase, your chocolate mix is agitated and superficially scraped by a conch, allowing the cocoa butter to separate amalgamated particles and distribute your cocoa butter more evenly. The heat generated by the process volatilizes acids improving the texture and aroma of the finished product. Early machines used vessels in the shape of a conch shell, giving the equipment its name.

Conching

Dosing systems are a line of hoppers, feeders, filling machines, and checkweighers that operate in sync to dispense materials accurately. Dosing is an essential feature of the packaging process, whether you’re filling shampoo bottles or tea bags. But dosing equipment is critical for formulations, too, particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Imprecise dosing may cause quality degradation in the best-case scenario. In the worst scenario, it creates serious health risks.

Dosing

Enrobing your food products means coating them with additional ingredients such as chocolate, syrup, or sugar. By automating this process you produced homogeneous results and reduce wastage.

Forming

Milling machines are used to reduce the size of material by cutting, crushing, or grinding it. The choice of industrial milling equipment depends on the industry and the materials to work with. Besides, there is a significant difference between those aimed to remove layers from metal or other materials workpieces and those designed to reduce particle size for materials that come in bulk.

Milling

Tempering equipment is most commonly used in manufacturing chocolate products as well as bakery products. However, tempering can also be found in the metals industry for processing alloys. The idea behind the tempering process is to heat two or more items to a certain temperature so that they can be blended together easier. Chocolatiers pass the chocolate through a heating cycle and then a cooling tunnel to give their final products a smooth and glossy finish. Tempering machines automate this process, evenly distributing the crystal structure in melted chocolate across the entire production line. Besides enhancing the look and texture of coatings, denser and consistent crystallization also has the benefit of slowing down fat migration in your chocolate-filled products. A vibrating table is an important component for tempering chocolate. First the chocolate mixture goes through a dispenser into the chocolate mould. After which the vibrating table is used to evenly distribute the mixture in the mould so that there are no air bubbles. Thus, creating a smooth and consistent final product.
