Chocolate Enrobing Heater
A customer that makes chocolate enrobing equipment for the confectionery industry was seeking a better solution for melting chocolate. Foods that are coated with chocolate by enrobers include nuts, ice cream, toffee, biscuits, and cookies. Enrobing equipment replaces the task of hand-dipping these items.
Project and Challenges
Traditionally air is drawn across a light bulb and the chocolatier fluctuates the variables to keep the chocolate flowing with the right consistency. As incandescent bulbs are phasing out in favor of energy-efficient options, our client was exploring alternatives. They wanted a custom air heater that could be installed without completely reconfiguring their machine.
Solutions and Their Impact
Tutco-Farnam replaced the lightbulb within the enrobing machine with a custom air heater that includes the fan and assembly. We also made it retrofittable across the board. Tutco-Farnam created a more consistent solution with finer temperature control. Our retrofit heater is more efficient and easy to install.
FEATURES
- Easy to install
- Greater Temperature Consistency
- Custom Retrofit Design
- All-in-one Heater, Fan & Assembly
