Forming → Chocolate Coating → Cooling → Packing
The former shapes cereal bar centers, biscuit bases, or nut clusters into uniform mini bars. Consistent size and weight for every single bar. Quick-change moulds allow fast product switchovers.
Formed bars pass through the chocolate coater. It applies an even layer of chocolate on all sides. Consistent coverage and smooth appearance for every mini bar.
Coated bars enter the continuous cooling tunnel. Rapid cooling sets the chocolate for a perfect glossy finish. Bars are then ready for packing. Complete end-to-end automation from forming to cooled products.
