Moulding

Moulded products include solid, hollow and filled products.  Solid items are typically bars, tablets and lollipops, hollow products would be seasonal figures, novelties, Easter Eggs and the like, and filled products will be pralines and filled bars. With filled products a shell is produced, a centre introduced into the shell before finally being closed off and de-moulded.

Moulding is quite different from enrobing and gives a very exact finish to the end product. 

Good quality moulds and well tempered chocolate will provide a natural shine to the finished article.

• Hand Moulds
• Semi-disposable vacuum formed moulds (limited life & poor product finish)
• Professional polycarbonate moulds for pralines or figures
• Two part magnetic moulds for printed transfers & relief sheets.
• Spinning Moulds for large size figures or large scale production requires spinning machine
• Rubber Moulds for jellies, fondants & high temperature confectionery.
• Industrial Moulds - large size moulds for automatic production including one-shot machines

Moulding Machinery starts from the simplest of Bain Marie arrangements in the kitchen and works up in scale from small wheel machines to large continuous moulding lines.

Output from the skilled artisan is limited by the supply of tempered chocolate, but can range from hundreds of chocolates per hour to thousands with the use of a moulding machine to hold and stir the tempered chocolate while it is worked. 

A chocolate Moulding Line usually refers to an automated set up that may be created on a number of levels.

• A small moulding line will imitate the work done by the skilled operator on a moulding machine, with speed and accuracy.  A relatively unskilled operator is required to feed the machine with empty moulds and remove the filled moulds. 
• The next level of automation can extend to continuous production, where the line forms the chocolate shells, fills them from an in-line depositor, closes them, de-moulds them and returns the now empty moulds to the circuit. 
• A continuous line includes appropriate built-in heating and cooling sections.
• Production requirements beyond this utilise larger format moulds to achieve the required output.
• A one shot line will combine several of these processes by forming the shell, the centre and the closure in a single one shot operation.
