Chocolate and confectionary making involves several processes that require various important machines and equipment to aid in the process. However, different factories use varying equipment, but there are common chocolate and confectionary machines that you can find in every factory, and this article has discussed each of them. They are differentiated in size and technologies depending on the various tastes and size a factory makes.
Find this equipment below.
Depositors
Depositors are useful equipment used to discharge set volumes of sticky fillings onto a particular surface. Most factories procure depositors depending on the deposition speed, the kind of products to be deposited, the volume and nozzles available.
Other factors affecting the selection of depositors by chocolate and confectionery factories include the ability to make desired effects, cooling and heating requirements, the ease to clean and the accuracy of the depositors.
Tempering Machines
A tempering machine has a wide range of usage in a chocolate-making factory. First, it is used to enhance chocolate the colour as well as improving its texture before they are packed. Moreover, factories use this machine to prevent the deception of cocoa fat.
Procurement of tempering machines involves almost similar considerations like in the case of depositors. But the production capacity and their energy consumption level highly affect the performance of tempering machines. The good thing is that these machines can be automated making work easier for chocolate production factories.
Chocolate Enrober
The enrober controls the temperature of the coated chocolate and confectionery products. The selection of enrobers by factories is influenced by the type of coatings, temperatures required, and more other key considerations like in the case of depositors and tempering machines.
Also, enrobers are made of different types to suit the various requirements of chocolate making factories. Available types of enrobers include small enrobers for small scale chocolate production, medium and large enrobers.
Automatic enrobers are also available and they enhance production efficiency through their continuous production of chocolate. More enrobing technologies have been invented, and today, factories have various options to select energy-efficient enrobers that help to reduce the environmental impact of factory productions.
