Turnkey chocolate handling systems

Customisation and attention to detail for the highest product quality

In the processing and transformation of chocolate from cocoa bean to liquid chocolate, it is crucial to preserve the organoleptic characteristics of the raw material to ensure the highest quality of the finished products, including pralines, cakes, biscuits, eggs and bars.

More specifically, precision and attention during the storage and transport of chocolate is essential in order not to alter its organoleptic properties.

Chocolate storage and transport systems

PiovanGroup provides specific and highly customised solutions for the storage and transport of chocolate, guaranteeing maximum attention to detail. Specifically, the geometry and accurate internal surface finish of the silos, equipped with internal stirrer, pumps and load cells, ensure the easy flow of chocolate. Furthermore, double jacket conveying solutions guarantee the conservation of the correct viscosity and maximum safety during the transport of the food ingredient. PiovanGroup also designs and manufactures machinery for the addition of additives and inclusions, to add to chocolate in a controlled and precise manner.

The consolidated experience of the Group in the confectionery sector, combined with a capillary technical assistance service, ensures constant proximity to the customer worldwide. All Piovan Group machines for chocolate processing are characterised, moreover, by easy access and maintenance and by guaranteeing maximum levels of safety.

ACCURATE DOSING AND EASY CLEANING

In food ingredient handling processes, accurate dosing of powders and granular products is essential. PiovanGroup designs a range of loss-in-weight dosers that guarantee absolute dosing precision thanks to a spherical arc. These dosing machines provide, with reference to the relevant recipe, the correct quantity of raw material that can be mixed or directly discharged into the primary operating machines. It is also possible to create a premix between different ingredients, through continuous dosing.
