Chocolate industry
SMC, the world leader in pneumatic automation systems, has a trusted partnership with confectionary and chocolate producers and their machine builders. This means we work not only in harmony with the machine builder’s needs for the process sector of the chocolate industry, but also with the final chocolate producing companies ready to process the cocoa beans and to deliver the final chocolate products.
Here you can see an overview of the whole process followed by companies operating in the chocolate industry, from cleaning the beans, up to packaging.
The key aspects of the process such as viscosity, temperature and line-process speed are the factors to be taken care of, so as to guarantee the excellence of the final product. Controlling and monitoring these parameters will help not only in reducing machine downtime and unplanned stoppages, but also identifying optimum process conditions, leading to improved productivity and premium quality chocolate products.

Impurities in cocoa beans, and other additional ingredients, are unacceptable for a fine-quality chocolate, and that’s why the sorting stage is so important. For this task, reliable industrial chocolate machines and efficient processes are required, and SMC is the right partner to provide you with the best solutions.
HF1-AC-D-X7000 Series
Ensure the right quality of the air with a product adapted to food environments
HF2-BAC Series
Sanitise compressed air
HRS Series
Control temperature of water cooling system
MY1-Z Series
Control the brush for cleaning the lens
SX10 Series
Achieve high speed sorting
LEFB Series Get a high speed transfer solution
While sorting is responsible for the selection of the best candidates, achieving the right flavour of chocolate depends heavily on the roasting stage, where temperature is the dominant factor. With the products that SMC offers to the chocolate making industry, you can be sure to guarantee perfect process control.
TH Series
Withstand high temperature
KFG2 Series
Resist corrosion and high temperature
TLM Series
Guarantee the endurance of the piping
VFN2*20N Series
Ensure longer lifetime thanks to the standardised connection
VFN2120N-X23/36 Series
Get a multifunction acting, resistant to high temperatures with clean design
After grinding has taken place, the next stage for the cocoa paste is refining. These complex machines do the job of creating a smooth and homogeneous liquid with the right particle size to get the perfect texture, needing precise control of the rollers that can only be achieved with quality equipment.
JSXD Series
Ensure a long life operation of the water circuit control system
AC-D Series
Match the air standardisation requirements with a modular and uniform design
JSY Series
Control water valves and general pneumatic circuits
CG1-Z Series
Avoid foreign matter accumulation
CG5 Series Ensure excellent product resistance to typical cleaning agents
In order to volatilise the remaining acetic acid of the chocolate paste and develop its flavour, conching equipment needs precise temperature and speed control, as well as reliable operation over time, since the process takes several hours, or even days. SMC’s products can allow your industrial chocolate making machines to reach a very high precision level in this step while helping you to increase energy efficiency.
IP8000/8100 Series
Open and close the valve for chocolate mass
JSX Series
Control the flow of the water circuit
PF3W Series
Monitor flow and temperature of cooling water circuit
Fat crystals in the chocolate must be stabilised to avoid undesired features such as blooming, crumbly texture or dull appearance. To carry out the delicate operation of heating and cooling the chocolate, you can trust our equipment to ensure the precision and control that the industrial chocolate tempering machines require in this part of the process.
The final step before cooling can vary depending on the product, but no matter if you need to block and engage moulds, or ensure the right belt tension, our products will be there to help you with the task.
AMS Series Level up your compressed air management
VP546/746 Series
Combine it with FRL units to achieve a safe solution
JMHZ2 Series
Carry out gripping operations with a lightweight and compact solution
JCQ Series
Save space and weight and improve cycle times
IZT40/41/42 Series
Eliminate electricity charge for plastic moulds
KNH Series
Increase cleaning efficiency of the moulds
