The market’s most successful laboratory batch cooking system, PRINCESS® CANDY, will be presented for the first time with a modern, hygienically optimized facelift.
CHOCOTECH continues to drive the development of AI-based assistance systems. Intelligent start-up and shutdown processes, One Button Operator (OBO) controls to reduce operator effort, smart raw material management, automated adjustment of process parameters, and energy-saving process solutions enabled by state-of-the-art intelligent software and hardware all contribute to making CHOCOTECH machines and plants the answer to their customers’ production challenges.
Digitalization remains a key focus at CHOCOTECH. Via the SweetConnect platform, production plants from different manufacturers can be efficiently managed. Document management, maintenance planning, and integration of the CHOCOTECH remote service system “Fast Lane” enable optimized service processes and increased plant availability.
Combining CHOCOTECH cooking systems with machines from SOLLICH KG for the production of bars and a wide range of other confectionery products provides customers with a single-source production responsibility, ensuring efficient and fast commissioning of complete production lines.
The portfolio is further complemented by stainless steel vessels from Apparate- & Behältertechnik Heldrungen GmbH.
