Our solutions are comprised of both single and multi-functional machines that can mix, cook, temper, pump, enrobe, cool, form, cut, and decorate. This is an overview only, so please meet with us and we will be pleased to show you more.
We have the history and expertise in working with customers of all sizes; from large high-output manufacturing facilities to small one-of-a-kind boutiques across the USA and Canada.
Stop by our booth and let’s see what we can accomplish together. Booth #2353 (West Hall).
Sollich KG of Germany is a leading global supplier of enrobers, tempering systems, cooling tunnels, and bar forming equipment with a complete line of optional supplementary equipment.
Sollich will display their Caramat® 1300 enrober, Minicoater® MC 420 along with a MT 150 and a section of Thermo-Flow® Plus Cooling Tunnel KK 1050 Hybrid with PU Gullwing Covers.
The Caramat® 1300 enrober boasts innovative design and incorporates the latest components available in building this state-of-the-art machine. As caramel-enrobed biscuits and wafers have become among the world’s most successful products, the patented Caramat® coating system ensures efficient production under maximum hygienic conditions. The Caramat® enrobing system was especially developed for these as well as other temperature-stable sweets. This patented process ensures the constant viscosity of caramel and stress-free, continuous production.
Sollich’s Minicoater® MC 420 is a small-scale chocolate coater with a built-in chocolate tempering system. The Minicoater has a separate frequency-controlled drive for the bottoming roller and a removable wire tensioned detailer system. This enrober comes in either a 12- or 16-inch-wide wire belt.
Sollich’s tempering machine Minitemper® MT 150 is an automatic continuous tempering unit for tempering up to 120 kg of chocolate per hour. Sollich’s Minitempers have a built-in heated tank with mixing before the mass is sent to the use point and can return chocolate back to the tank via a 3-way ball valve. The tempering is automatic, and recipes can be saved in the HMI. Options include mobile execution and automatic filling from a separate external tank.
The Thermo-Flow® Plus Cooling Tunnel Type KK 1050 Hybrid with PU Gullwing cooling tunnel has PU-Covers in Gullwing design and is constructed for full wash down capabilities from the product zone down. The tunnel’s frame and base are made of stainless steel and other non-rusting materials. Covers are made from PU which is a lightweight, durable composite material. Sollich’s Gullwing design with PU covers makes opening and closing the covers very simple. This tunnel has excellent efficiency and is sealed on all sides without heat bridges. The design gives operators easy access into the tunnel from all sides which gives the ability to inspect all areas. Thermo-Flow cooling tunnels also features fewer critical control points by reducing the number of components in direct and indirect contact with the product.
Chocotech GmbH, the sister company of Sollich KG, offers state of the art solutions for confectionery kitchens producing caramel, fondant, aerated products, jelly, hard candy, fruit snacks, binders, brittle, and Halwa. Chocotech’s chocolate division has lentil forming lines, mouldless chocolate shells and deposited centers for pralines.
In response to today’s worldwide demand for energy saving solutions, Chocotech has brought to market a patented technology. This innovative solution, the ECOGRAV® shown up to 50% in energy savings for confectionery manufacturers producing hard candy, chewy candy, aerated candy, and fondants. Chocotech will exhibit the Princess ECOGRAV® designed for pilot plant use. It consists of a gravimetric weighing unit for sugar and corn syrup with an integrated dissolver. The dissolver takes into account the water content of the corn syrup enabling a stable and clear solution. Up to 90% of dry solids can be metered to the cooker without adding water to the premix. This results in an impressive increase in dry solids before cooking when compared to conventional industry practices (metering 75% dry solids to the cooker). With the ECOGRAV®’s higher solid content, less steam is used, fewer vapors are formed causing less condensate and directly decreasing energy consumption.
Dumoulin manufactures a complete range of automatic high-capacity panning systems in batch sizes up to 6,600 lbs. One important advantage of a Dumoulin machine is the innovative design resulting in the smallest bed depth of any similar unit. This in turn means that all Dumoulin drums are gentle on delicate centers. Shallow bed depth also increases the amount of surface area in contact with freshly conditioned air. This reduces the processing time that allows the coating to be distributed very quickly and evenly over all centers. Although not exhibiting equipment, Dumoulin will be represented, and literature will be available.
Theegarten-Pactec is a leading manufacturer in the field of packaging technology with operations all over the world and international clientele that covers all continents. In addition to high-speed continuous and intermittent packaging machines, Theegarten-Pactec’s portfolio also includes a variety of feeding and storage components. This enables them to offer complete systems for primary and secondary packaging all from one source. They provide packaging technology solutions for hard candy, pre-formed products, soft and hard caramels, chewing gum, chocolate products and more. Theegarten-Pactec will not be displaying equipment but they will be represented, and brochures will be available.
Booth # SU-2353 will be staffed by John Holland, Danila Daniloff, Sean Burns, Cole Januski, Patti Schumacher, and Sarah Sheffield of Sollich North America, Peter Meierarnd, Peter Koch, Sebastian Schultz, and Nicolas Sollich of Sollich KG, Andreas Janko and Rene Winkelmann of Chocotech GmbH.
