KeyChoc Automatic Moulding Lines
These moulding lines are ideally suited for the production of solid one/two colour chocolates or bars. The entire process, including mould heating, depositing, vibration, cooling and de-moulding, is automated and the lines are designed to operate with a maximum throughput of 800-2500 kgs of chocolate in an 8 hour production run.
There are two line sizes available: the AM290 has a single depositing head and operates with 290 moulds in constant circulation and the AM360 has two depositing heads and operates with 360 moulds. They can both use moulds measuring either 280x200x30mm or 300x225x30mm. Both lines are supplied with one set of moulds made to your design
The depositing heads are pneumatically driven and can dose from 2.5g to 512g of pure chocolate. The entire process is PLC controlled with a touch-screen controller. All major parts of the line are constructed entirely from stainless steel.
| Model No. | Number of Moulds | Length | Width | Height |
| AM290 | 290 | 16.7m | 1.21m | 2.5m |
| AM360 | 360 | 19.85m | 1.21 | 2.5m |
The AM360 is also available with servo driven depositor heads as an option. The advantages of having a servo-driven depositor are much more precise control of the dose
Buying Custom-Built Machinery
As a result of our extensive experience in China, we have formed partnerships with a small, carefully selected group of companies which are able to provide good quality, specialised machinery across the chocolate processing, sugar confectionery and packaging machinery sectors.
In order to provide you, our customer, with the combination of service and competitive pricing that you want, along with complete transparency, we now offer two principal ways of sourcing our custom-built machinery:
Buying Agent Route
With this route, we would act as your “go-between” with our partners and basically handle everything for you. You benefit because, quite simply, you pay the manufacturer for building the machine and you only pay us for the service we provide before and after sales. For example, we will help you with all of the following:
- Finalisation of specification including technical drawings as required
- Communication with selected Chinese partners to obtain proposals and quotation
- Placing of order with full technical specification
- Inspection of machine in China prior to dispatch
- Installation and commissioning of machine at your premises
Direct Route
In some cases, we understand that cost is an absolutely critical element of the package. If you are prepared to manage the sourcing process yourself, then we are happy to put you in direct contact with the relevant manufacturer. We would of course still be available to help you with after-sales service if you required it.
KeyChoc Engineering Services
With either route, as we are familiar with the machinery produced by our nominated partners, KeyChoc can provide you with whatever back-up services you need in the future, including servicing, repairs and routine maintenance. If you choose the direct route, KeyChoc can still provide an installation and commissioning service if required.
Please contact us on 01744 416397 or email sales@keychoc.com if you require further details of this or any other machinery.
