Built with high-grade stainless steel and precision temperature control, our systems help chocolate manufacturers maintain superior product quality while optimizing production efficiency.
What Is a Chocolate Holding System?
A Chocolate Holding System is an integrated equipment setup that keeps molten chocolate at the correct processing temperature after melting and refining. It prevents crystallization or solidification by maintaining stable heat and constant agitation.
In a chocolate manufacturing setup, the holding system connects the melting, tempering, and depositing stages. Once the chocolate is melted, it is transferred into the holding tank or system where it remains in a liquid state. From there, it can be pumped directly to enrobing, coating, or molding equipment without losing its smooth consistency.
At Times Automation, we design systems that provide efficient heating, gentle mixing, and precise control — ensuring your chocolate retains its shine, viscosity, and rich flavor.
Our Chocolate Holding Systems are designed with innovation, hygiene, and long-term reliability in mind. They meet the highest standards for food-grade equipment and integrate seamlessly into chocolate production lines.
Key Features
High-Quality Stainless-Steel Construction: Ensures hygiene, durability, and corrosion resistance suitable for food processing environments.
Precise Temperature Regulation: Digital or PLC-based control panels maintain the ideal chocolate temperature between 40°C–45°C.
Efficient Agitation System: Continuous mixing prevents fat separation and maintains even texture throughout the batch.
Double-Jacketed Insulation: Keeps temperature stable while minimizing heat loss and energy consumption.
Custom Design Options: Available in various capacities and configurations to match your production needs.
Easy Cleaning and Maintenance: Smooth internal surfaces and CIP compatibility allow effortless cleaning and sanitation.
The Chocolate Holding System uses a double-jacketed tank design with circulating hot water or thermal oil to maintain a constant internal temperature. A slow-speed agitator continuously stirs the chocolate, ensuring it stays homogenous and free from lumps or crystallization.
The process flow typically involves:
This system ensures consistent quality and eliminates downtime between production cycles.
Our Chocolate Holding Systems are designed to enhance your chocolate production line with reliable performance and operational efficiency.
