Starter Enrobing Line – Extra Compact & Versatile

This Starter enrobing line is an extra compact 2-in-1 setup for chocolatiers, laboratories and training centres looking to produce with a limited quantity of chocolate. The smaller tank capacity of 15 kg makes the machine particularly suitable for small batches, test production and frequent changes of chocolate.

The package combines the BETEC MTE 15-240 with a short machine-mounted take-off conveyor with a paper roll and a heated vibrating table. This allows you to carry out both enrobing and moulding within a limited workspace, using the enrobing belt and vibrating table alternately on the same machine.

Which chocolate products can you make with the MTE 15-240?

With this setup, you can, among other things:

• Enrobe pralines and cut centres with chocolate.
• Coat biscuits, waffles and other snacks.
• Apply bottom coating to products.
• Make chocolate bars and other moulded products using the vibrating table.
• Fill polycarbonate moulds and suitable blister moulds.
• Supply a small decorating machine with tempered chocolate, such as the LD1 line decorator.

With suitable optional accessories, the setup can be further adapted for controlled dosing, hollow chocolate products, manual dipping and truffle production.

From tempering to take-off: the enrobing process with the MTE 15-240

2. The products are placed manually on the infeed wire mesh belt.
3. The products are evenly coated with chocolate in the enrobing machine.
4. The coated products are automatically transferred onto glassine paper on the short machine-mounted take-off conveyor.
5. The products are removed manually together with the paper and transferred to a suitable cooling unit or location for further setting.

The benefits of compact enrobing with a small quantity of chocolate

• 2-in-1 machine concept → enrobing and moulding with the same core unit.
• Extra compact thanks to the short machine-mounted take-off conveyor → a space-saving complete setup for smaller workshops and workspaces.
• Working with a limited quantity of chocolate → practical for small batches, test production and frequent changes of chocolate.
• Fully automatic tempering → continuous circulation and tempering of the chocolate during processing.
• Versatile in use → suitable for different products and expandable with accessories for specific applications.
• Ideal for training, product development and start-up production → combine different chocolate processing techniques within one compact setup.
• Enrobing and moulding without two separate tempering machines → one investment for multiple applications.

A compact setup for small batches and different applications

For small-scale production, training and product development, it is important that the setup matches the quantity you actually want to process. With its smaller chocolate capacity of 15 kg, this configuration allows you to work with a limited quantity of chocolate. This is practical for small orders, testing new recipes and switching between different chocolates.

The available workspace is also used efficiently. The short take-off conveyor with a paper roll is mounted directly on the machine, eliminating the need for a separate support frame for the take-off conveyor. This brings tempering, enrobing and product take-off together in a very compact setup.

The limited chocolate capacity is also practical for supplying a small decorating machine, such as the LD1 line decorator. Chocolate consumption is often low when decorating with coloured chocolate. In addition, less chocolate is needed to flush the circuit when changing colour.

Enrobing and moulding with the MTE 15-240 2-in-1

The supplied enrobing belt and heated vibrating table are used alternately on the same core unit. For example, you can first mould a small batch of chocolate bars and then switch to enrobing pralines or biscuits.

This makes the setup particularly useful when making different products in limited quantities or demonstrating several processing techniques during a training course. With suitable accessories, you can extend its capabilities to include controlled dosing, dipping or truffle production.
