Grain/Oat chocolate production line HTL-T888A/HTL-T888B

HTL-T888A / HTL-T888B Coarse Grain Chocolate Molding Production Line

Product Overview

The HTL-T888A and HTL-T888B are high-performance, fully automatic molding production lines designed for shaping a wide variety of coarse grain chocolate products. These advanced systems integrate precision forming, temperature-controlled mixing, and automated demolding into a single continuous operation—optimizing efficiency and ensuring uniform product quality across every batch.

Built with food-grade stainless steel (SUS304) components and driven by a PLC-controlled system, the HTL-T888 series is ideal for producing bars or blocks made from chocolate mixed with granular ingredients such as cereal, oats, nuts, peanuts, puffed rice, and more.

Scope of Application

The production line is suitable for forming a wide range of granular chocolate-based products, including:

• Chocolate cereal bars
• Nut and peanut energy blocks
• Chestnut rice bars
• Oat and puffed rice snacks
• Coarse sugar-based molded confectionery

Customizable molds allow for various product shapes tailored to client requirements.

Technical Specifications:The HTL-T888A and HTL-T888B models offer two performance levels tailored to different production capacities. The HTL-T888A supports a daily output of 20,000 to 24,000 kilograms, while the HTL-T888B is suited for mid-scale operations, delivering 8,000 to 10,000 kilograms per 24 hours.

Both machines operate at a working temperature between 30°C and 35°C, with chocolate cooling tunnel conditions maintained between 5°C and 10°C to ensure stable product formation. The cooling rate of the HTL-T888A is 8 to 11 tons per minute, compared to 4 to 5 tons per minute for the HTL-T888B.

Each model uses 800 mm by 300 mm molding templates, with the HTL-T888A equipped with 90 templates, and the HTL-T888B fitted with 68 templates, allowing for high output and efficient forming.

The systems run on a 380V / 50Hz power supply. Both models are powered by a 5.5 kW main motor, while refrigeration is handled by a 22 kW unit for the HTL-T888A and a 7.5 kW unit for the HTL-T888B. Correspondingly, their cooling capacities are 49 kW and 17 kW, respectively.

• In terms of size and footprint, the HTL-T888A measures 10 meters in length, 2.35 meters in width, and 1.95 meters in height, with a total weight of 3,800 kg. The HTL-T888B is slightly more compact, with overall dimensions of 7.2 × 2.35 × 1.95 meters and a machine weight of 3,000 kg.
