Chocolate Chip Production
Improve your chocolate chip production lines with machinery and process solutions from Premier Forrester.
Chocolate chips may look simple to make, but producing them consistently at scale requires precise depositing, cooling and handling.
Manufacturers need to balance throughput with accuracy in size, weight and finish, all while maintaining gloss and flavour stability.
Chocolate is Premier Forrester’s speciality. We can help design bespoke systems to make industry-leading chocolate chips, or help find the right piece of equipment to upgrade your current production line.
Chocolate chip production and manufacturing
The typical chocolate chip production process includes:
- Chocolate preparation. Refining and tempering the chocolate mass for stable crystallisation.
- Depositing. Portioning small droplets of chocolate onto cooling belts or trays.
- Shaping. Allowing droplets to set into consistent shapes and profiles.
- Cooling and setting. Stabilising crystals under controlled airflow and temperature.
- Demoulding or lifting. Removing chips without breakage or loss of gloss.
- Packaging. Transferring into bags, tubs or bulk containers with humidity protection.
Each stage has to be tightly controlled, particularly viscosity at depositing and temperature during cooling, to ensure uniform results.

Chocolate chip production - need to know
Points to consider when planning or upgrading your next line of chocolate chips:
- Bottlenecks. Cooling belts and tunnels often define throughput.
- Product variation. Different sizes and shapes require different depositor heads and belt speeds.
- Batch size. Small runs demand quick-clean feeders, while continuous runs benefit from larger cooling capacity.
- Quality control. Monitoring size, gloss and texture is critical for bakery and retail applications.
- Sustainability. Belt cooling and packaging steps can be optimised for lower energy and material use.
