1000MM Chocolate Decorating & Cooling Tunnel Successfully Running in the USA

Suzhou Harmo Food Machinery has successfully delivered a 1000MM Chocolate Decorating & Cooling Tunnel to a leading snack food manufacturer in the United States. Designed specifically for chocolate decorating and cooling of popped snacks, the production line has demonstrated stable operation, high efficiency, and continuous performance in large-scale manufacturing.

Flexible Solution for Various Chocolate-Coated Snack Products

The customer uses this chocolate decorating machine and cooling system to produce a wide range of chocolate-coated popped snacks, including kettle popped popcorn, compression popped snacks, hot-air expanded products, chips, sticks, strips, straws, tubes, rings, puffs, as well as various 2D and 3D shaped snacks.

With a flexible equipment design, the production line allows manufacturers to process different snack formats while maintaining consistent chocolate coating quality and cooling performance.

After installation and commissioning, the customer provided positive feedback on the equipment performance. Currently, 18 chocolate decorating machine and chocolate cooling tunnels are operating 24 hours a day, every day, supporting the customer's high-volume production requirements.

The stable operation of these lines has helped improve production efficiency while reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Advanced Features for Stable Chocolate Decorating and Cooling

This 1000MM Chocolate Decorating & Cooling Tunnel is equipped with several features designed for modern chocolate snack production.

The complete line is controlled by an HMI (Human Machine Interface) and PLC control system, allowing operators to easily adjust production parameters, monitor machine status, and switch between different product recipes. The intelligent control system improves operational convenience and production consistency.

The cooling tunnel is also equipped with three sets of 5HP refrigeration compressors, providing powerful and stable cooling capacity. Fast and uniform cooling ensures that the chocolate coating solidifies properly, helping achieve an attractive appearance, glossy finish, and consistent product quality during continuous high-speed production.

Reliable Design for Long-Term Operation

Another important feature is the customized conveyor belt design, which ensures stable belt alignment throughout production. This helps minimize belt deviation, reduce maintenance requirements, and improve overall equipment reliability.

In addition, three precision scrapers are installed to continuously clean the conveyor belt during operation. This design effectively removes chocolate residue, helps maintain hygiene standards, improves product quality, and extends the service life of the conveyor belt.
