At the end of the fourth quarter, Suzhou Harmo Food Machinery Co., Ltd. successfully delivered a TTQ 800MM Cluster Chocolate Extruder to a confectionery manufacturer in China. With a production capacity of 200kg per hour, this equipment enabled the client to quickly launch a new line of cluster chocolate products ahead of the New Year sales season, generating strong market demand and increased profitability.

 

Project Background

The client aimed to expand its product portfolio with innovative nut cluster chocolate products targeted at seasonal promotions. The primary objective was to introduce a new product line before the Lunar New Year, while minimizing investment costs and utilizing existing factory infrastructure.

After technical evaluation, the client selected the TTQ 800MM Cluster Chocolate Extruder due to its automation system, production flexibility, and compatibility with their current cooling tunnel.

 

Equipment Overview

The TTQ 800MM Cluster Chocolate Extruder is designed for continuous production of chocolate clusters containing nuts, peanuts, and other inclusions. With an output of 200kg/h, it supports stable and efficient manufacturing for medium-scale chocolate factories.

 

Key Technical Features

 

1. HMI & PLC Control System

The extruder is controlled by an integrated HMI (Human-Machine Interface) and PLC system, allowing operators to easily adjust production parameters such as extrusion speed and chocolate flow rate. The touchscreen interface improves operational convenience, reduces manual error, and enhances overall production stability.

 

2. Compatibility with Existing Cooling Tunnel

One of the most important advantages of this project was that the TTQ 800MM extruder was fully compatible with the client’s existing chocolate cooling tunnel. This integration allowed the manufacturer to avoid additional investment in cooling equipment. As a result, the new product line was implemented quickly and with lower capital expenditure.

This compatibility significantly shortened the installation timeline and enabled rapid market entry.

 

3. Flexible Nut Processing Capability

The machine is suitable for processing various nuts and peanuts, with minimal limitation on nut size. This flexibility allows manufacturers to develop diverse cluster chocolate products using almonds, peanuts, cashews, or mixed nuts. The extrusion system ensures even distribution of inclusions within the chocolate mass, maintaining consistent product structure and appearance.

 

Project Results and Customer Benefits

The client successfully launched its new cluster chocolate products before the Lunar New Year, targeting New Year promotions in the Chinese market. The new product category attracted strong consumer interest and resulted in increased seasonal orders.

 

Key benefits achieved by the client include:

 

Fast product development and market launch

Reduced investment due to equipment compatibility

Stable production at 200kg/h

Increased seasonal sales and profit margins

 

The cluster chocolate products generated substantial revenue during the New Year sales period and strengthened the client’s competitive position in the domestic confectionery market.

 

Conclusion

The successful implementation of the TTQ 800MM Cluster Chocolate Extruder demonstrates Suzhou Harmo Food Machinery’s capability in delivering flexible, cost-effective chocolate production solutions. With advanced HMI & PLC control, compatibility with existing cooling systems, and broad nut processing adaptability, this equipment supports efficient seasonal product development and market expansion.

Suzhou Harmo continues to provide innovative chocolate processing machinery for manufacturers seeking growth, efficiency, and profitability in the global confectionery industry.
