A17. Chocolate Lentil Roller Moulding Plant
Modifications
By increasing the diameter of the rollers and increasing the length of the rollers up to 1200mm wide, in certain applications we can obtain an output of 1.5 tonnes per hour.
We manufacture a range of high output lentil plants for specific applications.
Principal of Operation
The MacIntyre chocolate lentil rolling machine operates on the principle of rotating two rollers (upon which, the two halves of the required product have been profiled) against one another, through which suitably tempered chocolate, or other fat based masses, is passed to form solid units of the required shape.
The rolling machine has been designed so that a change of product can easily be achieved by replacing and adjusting a new set of the required rollers in the forming frame.
Cooling tunnel
A multi-tier compact system can be supplied if floor space is restricted.
Typical shapes are manufactured: Ball, egg, bean, button, etc. but additional shapes can be made to customers' requirements. Guidelines for output are detailed below. This figure can be increased depending on the density of the chocolate.
Optional Extras
- The rollers as standard are supplied in stainless steel construction to have a higher output. We can offer, as an optional extra, the rollers manufactured in copper and hard chrome coated.
