IPCO is a major supplier of chocolate forming/moulding equipment, with production systems for industrial ingredients – chips, chunks, drops and blocks – and decorative products such as shavings, rolls, pencils, plaquettes, blossoms and many more. The company will use PackExpo 2024 to highlight its ability to supply cost effective solutions for everything from low cost, rapid deployment start-ups to high capacity multi-layer systems.
Details of its steel belt-based cooling systems for confectionery products and freezing lines used in the production of instant coffee will also be available.
Rotoform drop depositor
At the heart of all IPCO’s high capacity systems is the Rotoform, a rotary drop depositor
consisting of a heated stator – which is supplied with liquid chocolate – and a perforated rotating shell that turns concentrically to deposit drops of chocolate onto a continuously running steel belt.
Chips are highly uniform in shape and size, and are free flowing for easy handling, storage and dosing. Chips of different sizes – from 30,000 to 300 pcs/kg – can be produced by simply changing the shell.
Triple pass chocolate cooling systems
IPCO has developed a range of triple pass cooling systems that enable high throughput rates while minimising floorspace requirements. The product is deposited on the first belt and adheres to the underside for the second pass. It is then removed on to a second conveyor for a third pass.
The company can also supply an innovative piston depositor for producing wide and/or thick circular wafer products. This can be installed alongside Rotoform and extrusion equipment on IPCO CCM (Chip and Chunk Moulding) triple pass steel belt coolers, enabling three depositing systems to be integrated on a single line.
