Praline Production
Improve your praline production lines with machinery and process solutions from Premier Forrester.
Pralines combine a delicate balance of chocolate shells and premium fillings, making them one of the most technically challenging products to produce consistently at scale.
From moulding to filling to sealing, every step must be precise to protect shell integrity and ensure consistent presentation quality.
Whether you need a bespoke process for praline production or simply need a single piece of equipment upgraded, the expert team at Premier Forrester can advise.
Praline production process
A typical praline production line includes the following processes:
- Chocolate preparation. Refining, mixing and tempering to create a stable mass.
- Shell moulding. Depositing tempered chocolate into chocolate moulds, forming thin shells.
- Filling. Depositing praline centres such as nut pastes, ganache, solid ingredients or layered inclusions.
- Sealing. Applying a chocolate layer to close the shell securely.
- Cooling and demoulding. Setting products under controlled airflow and temperature.
- Finishing and decoration. Adding decorative transfers, sprays or textured effects.
- Chocolate packaging. Collating and boxing while protecting fragile praline shells.
Accuracy at each stage is critical. Even minor variations in filling weight, shell thickness or cooling conditions can affect product presentation, shelf life and overall quality.

Pralines production - need to know
When planning or upgrading praline production, consider:
- Bottlenecks. Filling and cooling stages often define throughput.
- Product variation. Nut-based, layered or alcohol fillings require tailored depositor settings.
- Batch size. Short runs need flexibility whereas continuous lines deliver maximum efficiency.
- Quality control. Shell thickness, seam integrity and finish must be monitored continuously.
- Sustainability. Energy use in cooling and packaging formats can be improved with modern systems.
