With the annual growth of chocolate production, the varieties of chocolate are also increasingly rich. According to the characteristics of its processing methods and organizational structure, chocolate can be roughly divided into two categories: chocolate and chocolate products. On the basis of these two types of chocolates, other varieties add nuts, preserved fruits and other auxiliary ingredients to form a colorful chocolate family.
At the same time, the food raw materials with unique fragrance also bring rich prospects to this ancient category. Chocolate is a solid food with unique color, fragrance, texture and lubrication, which is made of cocoa, white granulated sugar, phospholipid and other basic raw materials through scientific processing such as mixing, refining, tempering, casting and molding. The key to its formation is technological breakthrough.
After all, chocolate is an exotic product. While the chocolate market continues to expand in China, foreign chocolate production technology is also constantly improving and upgrading. For example, a chocolate factory in Holland used 3D printing technology to try to manufacture chocolate prototype molds, and a company in Switzerland used robot and Internet of Things technology in chocolate production. Relevant manufacturers are constantly exploring the possibility of emerging technologies for chocolate.
Therefore, the chocolate production equipment in China should learn from the production technology of foreign enterprises to make the industry develop towards industrialization and precision.
At present, domestic chocolate production equipment is mainly sugar machine, oil melting pot, heat preservation cylinder, fine mill, automatic temperature regulator, pouring molding machine, etc. However, with the development of modern food industry, chocolate processing equipment in China is also constantly innovating.
It is understood that the chocolate production line of a domestic mechanical equipment enterprise integrates baking, pouring, vibrating, conveying, cooling and demoulding, and can produce pure chocolate, sandwich chocolate, two-color chocolate, whole nut chocolate, crushed nut chocolate, Weihua chocolate and other products. Chocolate processing equipment has shown a development direction integrating machinery, electricity, light, liquid, magnetism and production. The equipment has high efficiency and obvious advantages in intelligence.
In addition, in recent two years, domestic machinery companies have also used robots in chocolate production lines. It is reported that robots on this production line can automatically complete a series of production steps, such as picking up chassis, oil spraying, bottoming, accessories, cutting, separating, decorating, mixing, capping, packing, stacking, etc. It can not only effectively improve the mass production capacity of the factory, but also reduce manual participation and avoid potential food safety hazards.
The development direction of chocolate matching equipment in the future.
