Chips/drops/chunks molding line
CCM triple pass steel belt system for chocolate
The IPCO triple pass steel belt chips/drops/chunks molding (CCM) system offers outstanding production versatility. It enables high-capacity production of chocolate chips, drops, and chunks in a wide range of sizes, from a single, high-performance line.
Chocolate forming system (CCM)
A versatile molding solution
This innovative moulding line is based on the rotary depositor module (RDM), an extremely reliable unit with low maintenance requirements. The module features an exchangeable outer shell enabling production of chips in sizes from 30,000 to 300 pcs/kg.
The triple pass cooling process enables throughput rates of more than 3,000 kg/hour from a compact system with a low floorspace requirement: the total length is approximately 35 m.
The line also incorporates a separate strip extruder module and software adjustable servo cutter capable of up to 1,000 cuts a minute.

How it works
Triple pass cooling
The drops are deposited onto a 1,500 mm steel belt conveyor and transported through the cooling tunnel. They are carried back on the underside of the return stand before being removed onto an FDA PVC conveyor. They travel back through the tunnel for a third time and are discharged for downstream processing.
Benefits
Why choose IPCO’s unique range of chocolate production machinery?
High-productivity, small-footprint systems: Our triple pass process solutions enable high throughput rates from systems with a compact footprint
Rapid product changeover: Switch chip sizes in under 30 minutes by changing the depositor shell on our Rotary Depositor Modules.
Benefits
Flexible, accessible, high-performance cooling
Walk-through cooling tunnel
The CCM cooler is designed on a walk-through principle. This means that the system, while contained in an outer enclosure, is fully accessible with internal lighting and easy access to all parts. This is the most accessible, ‘open’ cooling tunnel on the market. It also creates a contained environment for a stable, rapid cooling process with no risk of moisture.
Piston depositor module option for 3-in-1 production
Our Piston depositor module (PDM) is available as an add-on facility on CCM lines. This combination of three depositing systems – PDM, RDM, and chunk extruder – enables the production of chips/drops, wafers, and chunks on a single line for maximum production flexibility.
