Apply layers and inclusions with precision using decorating machines.

Decorating machines add detail, texture, and visual finish to chocolate and confectionery. The right equipment places layers, stripes, or inclusions with tight control over weight and position. This protects yield, reduces giveaway, and keeps presentation consistent across every product.

We help you choose the configuration that fits your recipes, inclusion sizes and target throughput. Our focus is on making each machine connect cleanly with mould handling, belt speed, spacing, cooling capacity, and downstream packaging so the decorating stage works as part of one system.

Decorating Machines

The decorating process typically sits after depositing and before cooling. Depending on the product, we may use a single method or multiple processes to get the finish you want. This could include:

·         CAD depositing for precise placement and layered effects

·         Counting sprinkling when you need a set number of inclusions per piece

·         Belt sprinkling for even surface coverage at speed

·         Volumetric sprinkling for controlled dosing and uniform distribution of inclusions

Decorating Machines - need to know

  • Blockers and bottlenecks: Coverage quality depends on matching the machine rate to conveyor speed and product pitch. Poor balance creates queues and off-target placement.
  • Different product types: Geometry, surface stickiness, and inclusion size all affect the choice of heads, guides, and feeders. Filled pralines often need different handling than flat bars.
  • Size of batch: Short runs benefit from stored recipes, quick adjustments, and fast clean downs for allergens. Large campaigns rely on continuous feeding, efficient reclaim, and stable control to keep accuracy at speed.
