Ice cream producers want the flexibility to change seasonal decorations or offer branded products. FoodJet's chocolate depositor makes this possible: run various designs simultaneously, with per-nozzle control and no mechanical changeovers.
The FoodJet tempered chocolate machine is not a one-shot depositor. It uses an array of small nozzles that are individually controlled. Therefore, with our industrial chocolate machinery, you can vary the amount of material you apply in each section of a mould or product. This allows you to create unique and personalised tempered chocolate decorations.
If you work with a high-value material like tempered chocolate, it is essential to control the complete process:
Once the chocolate is tempered, you want to make sure you keep it at the right temperature. FoodJet's industrial chocolate machine uses double jacketed hoses or piping throughout the system. The water for this closed circuit is provided by the FoodJet PUL supply system. It has its own heat exchanger to make it a stand-alone process with the tempered chocolate depositor. That's how we create the best tempered chocolate decorations for your products.
You do not want your chocolate to go to waste. Depending on your process and products, we can use cameras to prevent this from happening. You don’t even need to align your products. The vision system will locate the exact position. Making sure that the depositing material ends up on your product – and not on your conveyor belt.
FoodJet uses a closed-loop system. Traditional enrobing systems use a collection tank to recuperate material. Chocolate, which was not deposited on the product, is caught and returned to the supply system. These open loops leave a lot of room for contamination. Pieces of products or foreign materials could fall into the process.
All the chocolate that is supplied to the FoodJet system either ends up on your product, or it returns to the supply system without making contact with the surrounding environment. This closed-loop design prevents external contamination — keeping dust, allergens, and foreign particles away from your product. A safe way to increase the yield of your material and protect the integrity of your tempered chocolate decorating process.
See how FoodJet's chocolate depositor precisely applies tempered chocolate patterns on ice cream bars — consistent, at production speed, and without contamination. The closed-loop system ensures zero product contact with the environment between runs.
