The liquid chocolate mass is poured from the stage controlled feeding unit between the cooled drums and the chocolates are formed, due to the holes on the surface of the drums. The chocolate dragee forming machine is designed especially for chocolate, which is coated with sugar on the final stage of the production. Chocolate form depends on the holes on the surface of the drums. Specially designed surface of the drums is cooled by means of cooling agent, the chocolate mass passing the drums obtains the shape but it is in the form of net, the solid product in the form of net is transported to the crust cracker, where the crusts are cracked and the dragee form is gained. Depending on the capacity, there are two types of the chocolate dragee forming machine: with drum dimensions of 400mm (100 kg/h) and 600mm (150 kg/h). The production is devided into three main types (depending on the holes of the drum): 8, 12 and 20mm.Technical data
