How To Mold Chocolate With a Machine?

Chocolate is a delicious treat enjoyed by people all over the world. It comes in many different forms, from bars and truffles to bonbons and candies. One of the quickest ways to mold chocolate is with a chocolate moulding machine. This process allows chocolatiers to create intricate designs and shapes that are both beautiful and tasty. In this article, we'll explore how to mold chocolate with a machine.

Step 1: Tempering the Chocolate
The first step in forming chocolate with a chocolate molding machine is to temper the chocolate. Tempering is the process of melting the chocolate and then slowly cooling it to a specific temperature, which allows the chocolate to solidify in a way that gives it a shiny appearance and a smooth texture. This is important because untempered chocolate can have a dull appearance and a rough texture.

Step 2: Filling the Molds
Once the chocolate is tempered, it is time to fill the molds. The molds can be made of plastic, silicone, or metal, and can come in many different shapes and sizes. The operator can set the pouring amount/gram weight on the PLC control screen, and then the depositor will accurately pour the tempered chocolate into the mold to ensure that each cavity is completely filled.

Step 3: Tapping Out Air Bubbles
After the molds are filled, the vibrating mechanism in the chocolate molding machine gently vibrates the chocolate molds to release any air bubbles that may have formed during the filling process. This step is important to ensure that the chocolate sets evenly and doesn't have any unsightly air pockets.

Step 4: Cooling and Solidifying the Chocolate
The molds then go into a cooling tunnel, which helps solidify the chocolate. The cooling process can take anywhere from a few minutes to tens of minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the mold. After the chocolate is completely solidified, it is transported out of the cooling tunnel.

Step 5: Demolding the Chocolate
The final step in forming chocolate using a chocolate moulding machine is to unmould the chocolate. The flipping mechanism carefully removes each chocolate bar from the mold without breaking or damaging the chocolate's delicate design. Then the mold flip will work for re-entering the pouring site. The finished chocolate batch is ready to be packaged and enjoyed.

In conclusion, forming chocolate with a chocolate molding machine is a complex and intricate process that requires careful attention to detail and a deep understanding of chocolate. From tempering the chocolate to demolding the finished product, each step plays a crucial role in creating beautiful and delicious chocolates. With the right equipment, technique, and creativity, chocolatiers can create an endless array of stunning chocolate creations that are sure to delight and satisfy even the most discerning sweet tooth.
