Dual melting tank with integrated sieve system for efficient chocolate rework

The MKD 1000-S is a dual melting tank with a total capacity of 2 x 1000 kg and an integrated sieve system, built into one robust frame. This installation was specifically developed for manufacturers who want to maximize the yield of their raw materials and process rework efficiently without quality loss.

In a market where chocolate prices have a major impact, the MKD 1000-S offers a well-thought-out and cost-effective solution to reduce product loss and reintegrate valuable raw materials into the production process.

Key features of this chocolate rework system

• Dual melting tank: 2 x 1000 kg capacity in one frame
• Integrated sieve system for automatic separation of inclusions
• Dual internal pumps for a continuous process (infeed and discharge)
• Interchangeable sieves for maximum filtering flexibility
• Automatic discharge of inclusions into a separate collection container
• Ideal for efficient rework management and optimal raw material recovery

Who is this rework solution ideal for?

The MKD 1000-S is ideally suited for:

• industrial chocolate manufacturers
• producers of products with inclusions (nuts, pieces, etc.)
• companies looking to optimize their rework process
• production environments where raw material efficiency is crucial

Efficient processing of chocolate rework and residual products

During production, residual products inevitably occur, such as:

• incorrectly filled moulds during startup
• products that are too heavy or too light
• breakage during demoulding or packaging
• incorrect chocolate-to-inclusion ratios
• overproduction of chocolate products with inclusions (such as nuts)

With the MKD 1000-S, these products can be fully remelted and recovered.

The melted chocolate, including inclusions, is pumped via an internal pump to the integrated sieve system. Here, solid components are automatically separated from the chocolate.

Automatic separation of chocolate and inclusions

The integrated sieve unit ensures a continuous and automated separation of inclusions and chocolate:

• The chocolate is pumped through a replaceable sieve (mesh)
• Inclusions such as nuts or other solid particles are efficiently filtered out
• The filtered chocolate is discharged via a second internal pump to a downstream tank  or process step
• The filtered inclusions are automatically collected in a collection container underneath the sieve outlet

Thanks to the interchangeable sieves, the system can easily be adapted to the desired end result and product type.

Reduced chocolate loss and maximum raw material recovery

The MKD 1000-S was developed with one clear focus:
less waste, higher recovery and a better yield from your raw materials

By processing rework in a controlled and efficient way:

• you significantly reduce waste
• you lower your raw material costs
• you maintain control over quality and consistency

This makes the installation particularly interesting for manufacturers working with inclusion products and higher production volumes.

Melting tanks with integrated sieving system in various configurations

The MKD 1000-S is one specific version within this concept.
Depending on your production process and capacity requirements, this solution can also be built fully customized.

Possible variations include:

• combining a sieve system with a single melting tank
• larger or smaller tank capacities, adapted to your production volume
• integration into existing or new production lines

This ensures a solution that perfectly matches your rework process and production requirements.
