Aura – Belgian Chocolate Machines, designed by Betec
At Betec, we understand that choosing a chocolate machine is always a balance between quality, ease of use and investment. Our machines are known for their durability, finish and reliable performance. However, we also see that some chocolate makers are looking for a more budget-friendly solution, without compromising on quality.
Affordable innovation with the quality of Betec
That is why we developed a new range: Aura – designed by Betec. A standardised machine range that combines the same technical expertise and craftsmanship as Betec with lighter materials and a sober, functional finish, making the price more accessible.

The meaning of Aura – lightness and value in chocolate production
In various cultures, aura evokes associations with light, energy, value and elegance — an appearance that feels both refined and accessible. This symbolism perfectly reflects our vision: machines that retain the quality and know-how of Betec, but are built in a lighter and more efficient way. Aura therefore stands for lightness with value — a smart choice for those who invest with price awareness, without compromising on performance or appearance.
The story behind Aura – the essence of affordable chocolate machines
Aura was not created from a catalogue, but from the experience of the master. Like an exceptional wine or a matured rum, every Aura machine is the result of careful selection: each component chosen for its efficiency, reliability and daily usability. No endless list of options, because the right choices have already been made.
You can compare it to the world of cars. A Rolls-Royce is prestige: an icon that is kept with respect in the garage, but rarely performs the work it was originally designed for. Elsewhere stands a compact city car: intelligently composed, agile and efficient — built to make a difference every day. Aura is exactly that workhorse: light, refined, intelligent. No luxury that distracts, no ballast that slows things down. Only the essence — carefully distilled from experience. Each Aura machine is not a classic configuration with dozens of options, but a carefully thought-out composition of functions that prove most valuable in daily practice. A design born from years of experience in chocolate production, deliberately chosen to guarantee efficiency, reliability and accessibility.
Efficiently designed chocolate machines, sustainably priced
The Aura range have been developed for chocolate makers who focus on production and yield, but do not require all the additional features offered by our premium models. By working with lighter materials, transport becomes less demanding, resulting in lower transport costs and a smaller ecological footprint — something we consciously strive for as a company. You can continue to rely on the well-known Betec reliability, as every machine is designed with a focus on functionality, ease of maintenance and efficiency — qualities that are essential in any modern chocolate production environment.
Simple chocolate machines with Belgian quality where it matters
With the Aura range, you choose machines that combine simplicity with technical precision.
The machines are more basic in execution, yet built with the same care, knowledge and attention to detail as our premium Betec models. Whenever you require additional comfort, automation or specific functions, these can always be found within the Betec range. This way, you choose exactly what you need — no more, no less.
Who are Aura chocolate machines for?
The Aura range is ideal for chocolate makers who:
- are looking for reliable machines at a lower entry price,
- prefer a practical and efficient solution,
- consciously choose more environmentally friendly transport and energy consumption,
- and want to grow with the support of an experienced partner.
The Aura logo – the trusted Betec style for Belgian chocolate machines
The Aura logo was designed in the same style as the Betec logo — with similar letterforms and the same baseline Belgian Chocolate Machines. This keeps the family connection clearly visible, while Aura gains its own, fresh look. The fuchsia colour symbolises energy, creativity and innovation — qualities that define this new range. This logo is used on the website and on the machine touchscreens.
Black Aura logo – an industrial look for chocolate machines
The black variant is used on the machines themselves. There, the logo is engraved in metal, serving as a sober yet powerful reference to its origins at Betec.

Frequently Asked Questions about Aura chocolate machines (FAQ)
1. What makes Aura different from other brands in the same price range?
Most affordable chocolate machines on the market compromise on reliability and service life. Aura machines offer exactly the opposite: they are designed and built by Betec in Belgium, using the same technical expertise and quality standards as our premium range. The difference lies in the form, not in the substance. Aura machines are designed in a practical way, with a sober yet well-thought-out finish — built with the same Belgian precision, expertise and reliability as our Betec machines.
2. Why is Aura more affordable than the Betec premium range?
By choosing a more functional finish and lighter materials, we reduce production costs without touching the technical core. Each Aura machine is built and tested with the same care as our Betec models — but without the extras that are not essential for every chocolate maker.
3. Can I achieve the same production results with Aura as with Betec machines?
Absolutely. Aura machines are built with the same technical know-how and precision as our Betec Premium range. Each machine is developed according to the Belgian quality standards, delivering durable performance and a stable output in every working environment. Aura machines are designed to perform consistently every day, with the right balance between simplicity, yield and reliability.
4. Are Aura machines also made in Belgium?
Absolutely. Like our other machines, Aura units are fully designed, assembled and tested in our Betec factory in Belgium. Everything takes place under one roof, allowing us to closely monitor every step — from design to final inspection. This enables us to guarantee the same reliability, finish and service as with the Betec PREMIUM range.
5. What distinguishes Aura from low-budget machines of competing brands?
The difference lies in Belgian quality and technical precision. While many low-budget machines focus solely on the lowest possible cost, Aura combines that same affordability with the know-how and durability of Betec. You therefore get a machine within the price range of competing brands, but with the reliability, service and service life of Belgian engineering.
6. What level of service can I expect with Aura machines?
Those who choose Aura benefit from the same after-sales service, spare parts and technical support as our Betec customers. Aura is not a separate brand without continuity, but a deliberate extension of the Betec portfolio.
