Parts Washing System for Filling Equipment

Parts Cleaning Filling Equipment in Chocolate Manufacturing

Background

With locations worldwide, this customer is the leading manufacturer of high quality cocoa, chocolate and confectionery products.

Parts Cleaning Challenge

In the production process of chocolate candy, heated chocolate is poured onto 4’ nozzle outlet plates, which deposits very accurate measured amounts of chocolate into molds. These plates were being cleaned by hand - a very time consuming process. Due to cleaning standards issued by the FDA for food processing, the plates need to be thoroughly sanitized.

Solution/System

A stainless steel F-4000-LX-P parts washer with custom fixture to hold the plate at a 45 degree angle. A special spray manifold was designed for this unit to flood and wash the entire surface of the nozzle plate.  The automatic parts cleaning system sanitizes the plates to be used for making subsequent batches of chocolate.
