Discover accurate dosing, counting, and handling for confectionery and chocolate lines with feeder machines.

Feeder machines provide precise, reliable ingredient dosing for confectionery and chocolate manufacturing. From small development runs to high-volume plants, the aim is the same: controlled feed rates, stable flow, and clean integration with upstream and downstream equipment.

Feeder machines cover dough, volumetric, gravimetric, counting, cherry, and wafer feeding. These units can be integrated with existing systems and production lines.

With over 25 years of experience supplying bespoke machinery, we also provide installation, operator training, servicing, and after-sales support.

How feeder machines work

Feeders meter ingredients into a process at defined rates. Applications vary, powders and granulates often suit volumetric or gravimetric dosing, fragile inclusions benefit from gentle mechanisms, and sticky materials may require specific contact surfaces and agitation. Stable feeding protects throughput and quality, it prevents blockages, reduces giveaway, and keeps the line balanced.

We assess product characteristics, viscosity or flowability, target throughput, and cleaning needs. Then we specify a feeder that fits your recipe, footprint, and controls architecture, and we make sure it runs properly after commissioning.

Talk to us about feeder machinery

We specify, source, and integrate feeders as standalone units or as part of complete confectionery and chocolate lines. Working in partnership with Oka and our Principal, RM Technology Engineering, we match equipment to your targets for throughput, yield, and product quality. Our engineering team supports you in the UK from planning and installation through to training and service.

If you are upgrading an existing setup or building a new process, contact us to discuss throughput, footprint, materials, and budget. We will help you choose a configuration that runs reliably and pays back.
