Suzhou Harmo Food Machinery Provides a 1250MM Chocolate Coating Pan Solution

Suzhou Harmo Food Machinery Co., Ltd. successfully delivered a complete 1250MM Chocolate Coating Pan Solution for a leading confectionery manufacturer. This newly upgraded system was developed to improve coating consistency, reduce labor costs, and enhance overall production efficiency for chocolate-coated nuts, dried fruits, cereal balls, and other confectionery products.

Background

The client required a large-capacity chocolate coating pan capable of supporting modern, automated production. Traditional coating pans often rely on manual control, which can lead to uneven coating thickness, inconsistent texture, and longer processing time. To solve these challenges, Suzhou Harmo designed a fully automated solution with advanced controls, hygienic structure, and efficient chocolate handling features.

Key Features of the 1250MM Chocolate Coating Pan

1）Full Automation with HMI & PLC Control
The coating pan is equipped with an integrated HMI (Human-Machine Interface) and PLC control system.
All major production steps—including chocolate spraying, air blowing, rotating time, and coating cycles—can be programmed and operated automatically through the touchscreen panel.
This ensures stable, repeatable coating quality and significantly reduces operator dependency.

2）Full 304 Stainless Steel Construction
The entire machine is manufactured using food-grade 304 stainless steel, offering superior durability, corrosion resistance, and hygiene.
This construction meets international food safety standards and simplifies daily cleaning and maintenance for long-term use.

3）Discharging Valve to Improve Efficiency
The 1250MM coating pan is designed with a built-in discharging valve.
This feature allows finished products to be released quickly and safely without manual scooping inside the drum.
It greatly reduces labor intensity, shortens batch changeover time, and increases overall production efficiency—especially valuable for large-scale factories.

4）Electrical Heating Plate for Chocolate Melting
To make removing chocolate from the drum easier and more efficient, each drum can be equipped with a portable electric heating plate. When cleaning the drum is needed, the electric heating plate can be turned on to melt the chocolate in the drum before cleaning.
When drum is rotating and production, you can move this portable electrical heating plate.

Project Outcome

After installation and testing, the customer reported a significant improvement in production quality and consistency.
The automated control system allowed them to achieve uniform chocolate coating thickness, reduced processing variations, and faster batch turnaround times. The discharging valve and heating plate also helped cut labor costs while improving line efficiency.

The 304 stainless steel design provided excellent durability and hygiene, meeting all requirements for large-scale commercial food production.

Conclusion

Suzhou Harmo Food Machinery’s 1250MM Chocolate Coating Pan Solution offers a modern, automated approach to chocolate coating. With PLC control, automatic spraying and air blowing, hygienic construction, efficient product discharge, and integrated chocolate heating, this solution helps manufacturers enhance product quality and streamline their production processes.
