Volumetric sprinkling delivers consistent coverage for chocolate and confectionery products.

Volumetric sprinkling applies measured amounts of inclusions to chocolate and confectionery products. The sprinkling step integrates with mould logistics, vibration, cooling, and packaging. When speeds are aligned, the line keeps moving, and your decorative finish stays consistent.

The result is reliable weights, even coverage, and a clean finish across every bar, tablet, or piece.

Volumetric Sprinkling machinery

In decorating lines, the system dispenses controlled doses of nuts, fruit, cereal, or sugar crystals into moulds, onto trays, or across moving belts. You get an even spread and less waste, with the same outcome from batch to batch. Trials are simple to set up, and then the same settings can scale to full production.

·         Belt sprinkling. Used when wide coverage is needed alongside measured dosing.

·         Counting sprinkling. Used when recipes require both precise counts and volumetric control.

Volumetric Sprinkling - need to know

  • Accuracy and control. Volumetric sprinklers deliver a defined quantity of inclusions, reducing the variation common with manual sprinkling.
  • Product range. Works with fine particles such as sugar, as well as larger inclusions like nuts or cereal clusters.
  • Line fit. Dosing must match depositor speed and mould handling to avoid bottlenecks.
  • Batch flexibility. Programmable recipes help with short runs, while larger volumes benefit from cycle optimisation to protect throughput.
