NP-345 Commercial Chocolate Coating Machine

The NP-345 is a commercial-grade chocolate coating machine designed to apply uniform chocolate or confectionery coatings to items such as candies, nuts, biscuits, and confectionery centers. It combines controlled melting, dosing and an adjustable conveyor/enrobing system to deliver consistent results for medium- to high-volume production.

It can coat a wide range of products including chocolates, candies, nuts, cookies, fruit pieces, centers and similar confectionery items. Coating thickness and finish can be adjusted to suit small pieces or larger items within the machine's size limitations.

Throughput depends on product size, coating thickness and line configuration. Typical commercial-throughput NP-345 installations operate in the approximate range of 100–600 kg per hour, but exact capacity is determined during specification and validation for your product.

The NP-345 handles most liquid chocolate and compound coatings including dark, milk and white chocolate, as well as compound coatings and cocoa-butter-based coatings. Some adjustments may be needed for viscosity and tempering requirements depending on the coating formulation.

The machine frame and food-contact components are manufactured from food-grade stainless steel (typically 304; 316 available as an option), hygienic conveyors, nonstick-coated enrobing surfaces where required, and industry-standard pumps, heaters and control systems designed for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Temperature is controlled via integrated heaters with PID control; viscosity control is achieved through temperature adjustments and variable-speed dosing pumps or metering systems. An optional tempering unit can be specified if precise tempering is required for your chocolate.

Typical installations require three-phase power (voltages can be 380–480 V depending on region) or 220–240 V single-phase for smaller configurations. Compressed air and a warm water or steam supply may be required for some options. Exact utility requirements are provided on the machine specification sheet for each order.

The NP-345 is designed for hygienic cleaning with removable/machinery parts where possible, sloped surfaces for drainage and accessible areas for manual cleaning. Some models offer quick-release conveyors and CIP-compatible components. Regular maintenance includes routine inspection of pumps, seals and belts and periodic lubrication of non-food-contact bearings.

Standard units include an operator touchscreen HMI with recipe management, motor speed controls, temperature setpoints and alarm management. Options include PLC integration for full line control, batch tracking, and Industry 4.0 connectivity for remote monitoring and data logging.

Yes. The NP-345 can be configured to integrate with upstream and downstream equipment such as depositors, conveyors, cooling tunnels and packaging machines. Custom infeed/outfeed heights and interfaces are available to match existing line layouts.

Safety features include interlocked guards, emergency stop buttons, safety-rated switches on access panels, non-slip floors where required, and controls that comply with regional machinery safety standards. Detailed safety documentation is provided with each machine.

The machine is constructed from food-grade materials and can be supplied to meet common standards including CE conformity for the European market. Optional compliance documentation for FDA, EHEDG hygienic design guidance, and other regional requirements can be provided upon request.

Yes. Factory or on-site commissioning and operator/maintenance training are available. After-sales support includes spare parts supply, remote technical assistance, preventive maintenance contracts and field service visits depending on your location and service plan.

Lead time depends on configuration and order backlog; typical production and delivery lead times range from approximately 6 to 12 weeks. Expedited options are sometimes possible. Shipping can be arranged FOB factory, DAP or other terms per agreement and includes crating/packing suitable for export.

Contact sales with your production requirements (target throughput, product types, desired coating finish, utilities available and footprint constraints). The sales team will provide options, pricing, and lead times and can arrange product trials or visits to demonstration facilities if available.
