Chocolate moulding turns tempered chocolate into finished products, from tablets to filled pieces and decorated assortments. This stage of chocolate production demands tight temperature control, accurate dosing, and reliable handling, so quality holds steady at any scale.

We work with our principals to provide clients with only the best chocolate moulding machines, while also looking at ways to improve efficiency in chocolate moulding lines.

Chocolate moulding machinery

From tempering to packaging, our chocolate moulding systems deliver precision, consistency, and hygiene at every stage. Designed for artisan and industrial producers alike, each component integrates seamlessly to create glossy, perfectly formed chocolates with reliable throughput and minimal waste.

Core forming equipment

Core forming equipment enables confectioners to produce filled chocolates, pralines, and centres with speed and accuracy. Designed for precision and consistency, it streamlines production while maintaining the quality and creativity needed to bring unique recipes to life.

Tempering units: Stable crystallisation for gloss, snap, and flow.

Chocolate depositors: Accurate dosing into moulds or directly onto a belt.

Shell-forming systems: Consistent, thin shells ready for fillings.

Mould sets: Durable polycarbonate moulds in a range of sizes and geometries.

Line control and hygiene

Line control and hygiene systems ensure smooth, efficient production while maintaining the highest standards of food safety. By optimising processes and simplifying cleaning, they help manufacturers maximise uptime and protect product quality.

Mould heating and cooling: Tight thermal control for setting and release.

Demoulding systems: Clean take-off and automatic mould return.

Hygiene systems: Continuous or batch cleaning solutions to maintain standards.

Finishing and pack-out

Finishing and pack-out solutions streamline the final stages of confectionary production, from decorating and enrobing to wrapping and boxing. These systems ensure products are presentation-ready, efficiently packaged, and delivered to market with consistent quality.

Decorating and sprinkling: Automated toppings and finishes that hold at speed.

Packaging solutions: Protection and presentation that preserve product quality in transit.

Chocolate moulding lines - need to know

Image of an industrial moulding line in factory setting.

Chocolate moulding occurs whenever chocolate must be formed into a repeatable shape. A typical chocolate moulding line brings together tempering, depositing, mould transport, cooling, decorating, and clean release from the moulds. With the right setup, you can run solid bars, thin shells for pralines, or topped tablets on the same footprint.

  • Typical bottlenecks: Cooling profiles and demoulding are frequent pinch points; plan them early.
  • Product variation: Solid bars, filled shells, and decorated pieces may require different tooling or depositor formats.
  • Batch size and scale: Smaller runs benefit from flexibility and quick changeovers; high-throughput lines need synchronised speeds and automation.
  • Integration: Match tempering capacity, depositor output, and cooling time – otherwise stoppages and rework creep in.
  • Sustainability: Efficient heat exchange and smart cooling strategies cut energy use and operating cost.

Talk to us about chocolate moulding

We supply moulding lines for upgrades and new builds, from a single depositor to a fully automated line. Because we work directly with our principals Trikno, we can recommend the right machine, integrate it with your controls, and commission it on site.

Our exceptional service team is also available to provide comprehensive after-sales support and advice.

If you are reviewing an existing line or designing from scratch, contact our team to discuss throughput targets, footprint, and budget. We will help you choose a configuration that runs reliably and pays back.
