One-shot depositing simplifies the way filled chocolates are made. By placing chocolate and centre in a single deposit, it replaces separate shell-forming and filling steps. When ratios and flows align, you get neat shells, stable centres, and consistent weights.

One-shot depositing – how and when it’s used

In production, preheated moulds move under a multi-piston head that places a combined deposit of shell and filling. Vibration clears air pockets, cooling sets the structure, and the product is ready for demoulding.

The method is used for pralines, truffles, layered assortments, and seasonal shapes. It cuts cycle times, reduces handling, and improves efficiency.

Learn more about our one-shot depositors designed for this process.

We work with manufacturers to integrate one-shot systems into complete moulding lines. Our focus is on keeping the chocolate flow and filling viscosity in step, so throughput is protected without sacrificing finish.

One-shot depositing – need to know

·       Blockers and bottlenecks. If chocolate and filling flows are not synchronised, shells may be uneven and centres unstable.

·       Product variation. Truffles, pralines, and multi-layered products each demand different settings and ratios.

·       Batch size. Short runs benefit from recipe-driven machines, while long runs rely on high-capacity multi-piston systems.
