Chocolate Moulding Depositor

A chocolate moulding depositor portions fluid tempered chocolate accurately into mould cavities for consistent bars, shells, pralines, and confectionery components.

Best Uses

Chocolate bars, bonbon shells, tablets, pralines, filled chocolates, and repeatable mould production.

What to Look For

• Accurate portion control.
• Heated hopper or product path where required.
• Nozzles suited to mould size and viscosity.
• Simple cleaning and disassembly.

Correct Use

Maintain chocolate at the correct working temperature, keep the hopper mixed gently, set the deposit weight carefully, and test several moulds before full production.

Common Mistakes

• Depositing chocolate that is too cool and thick.
• Using an incorrect nozzle size.
• Ignoring weight variation between cavities.

Chef’s Notes

The depositor improves speed and consistency, but temper, viscosity, and mould temperature still determine the final finish.
