Solid depositing is where liquid chocolate takes its first defined shape. By portioning it into moulds or onto a belt, manufacturers can create solid bars, tablets, and blocks that underpin most chocolate production lines. If deposit weight drifts or cooling lags, the impact shows immediately in surface finish and yield.

Solid depositing – how and when it’s used

Chocolate moulding lines usually begin with this step. Preheated moulds or a conditioned belt receive a controlled portion of tempered chocolate, which then passes through vibration and cooling. Once set, the product is ready for demoulding or further processing.

Solid depositing is used for tablets, count line bars, seasonal shapes, and industrial blocks. It also forms the base layer for many filled and decorated products.

Explore our solid depositors for more on the equipment behind this process.

We help manufacturers tie this stage cleanly into their wider production line. Our role is to keep depositor speed, cycle times, and cooling capacity in balance, so quality is protected as throughput rises.

Solid depositing – need to know

  • Blockers and bottlenecks: Depositing speed must be matched with mould handling and cooling to avoid backlogs or defects.
  • Product variation: Tablets, blocks, and seasonal formats each need different mould carriers and dosing controls.
  • Batch size: Flexible systems suit shorter runs, while multi-piston setups support continuous production.
