A Heated spray system cuts chocolate to use in half
Learn how a commercial cannoli bakery swapped its enrobing process for an efficient spraying system that helped limit product calories, wasted chocolate, and production downtime.
Problem:
A manufacturer was using an enrober to apply chocolate compound to 100,000 cannoli shells daily. The enrobing process wasted a significant amount of chocolate and required excessive downtime for equipment cleaning. In addition, the chocolate compound was over-applied and increased the calorie count of the cannoli.
Solution:
An AccuCoat Fully Jacketed Heated Spray System is now used to coat the inside of the cannoli shells. The system maintains the chocolate at 175°F (79.4°C) from the 10-gallon (38-L) tank until it exits the nozzles. A sanitary Model 63600 Spray Manifold, equipped with three air atomizing nozzles, is secured on both sides of a conveyor. Shells index three at a time and stop briefly so the nozzles can deliver a precise volume of chocolate to the inside of each shell.
