The concept of the Universal Chocolate Molding Machine is to achieve molding with precision, a large variety of products through the process of dosing in 3 independent stages.
Chocolate molding in the universal kind is employed to create bars and filled pralines, because it has three dosing heads.
- The first dispenser is for making the exterior shell.
- The second dispenser is used for adding the filling.
- The third dispenser puts the cap to the praline.
- After every dispenser the mold goes through the cooling tunnel.
In case that the Molding machine is used for producing bars or solid pralines, it is used only one dosing head.
Chocolate’s air bubbles are removed in a vibration zone.
The necessary space for dosing filling is obtained by removing part of the chocolate dosed in the first head, in a mold flipping zone.
It also has a mold heating zone, that allows chocolate adherence after the cooling tunnel.
At the end of the cooling tunnel lies the demolding zone and chocolate separation zone, so that the molding machine can be fed with molds again.
It can be considered a solid inclusion dosing zone.
