Hacos NV

For medium to hight output chocolate bar production we present our MODIMM Compact line.  This line uses vertical cooling towers and is set-up in one straight line.  This means that all parts of the line can be easily reached and that extensions to the line can be made easily by inserting new section to it.  The loose mould chain transport system can work with most standard mould sizes, keeping the mould budget down and flexibility up.  The line reaches an output of 15 to 30 moulds per minute  or an output of 500 - 1000 kg/h of chocolates on a footprint as small as just 20 meter.

The line uses the latest servo technology for transport systems, de-moulding and depositors with energy recuperation systems. The new generation cooling tunnels are equipped with new and improved ventilation system.
Depositing options consist of plain chocolate depositors, pistons depositors, inclusion depositors and one shot depositors.
Further options are inclusion mixers, granulate depositors and nut depositors.
This all adds up to a cost effective, space saving and very flexible moulding line.
As always, Hacos can also offer its tanks and tempering machines to create a turn-key project.

MINOS 3D is an upgrade from the MINOS 2D, that was already equipped with a programmable belt for 2D effects, which was particularly interesting for clients that wanted to make pipe long products or that wanted to make long one shot deposits.
The 3D feature will add an extra dimension to the belt of the depositor, so that it will get a 2-axis movement. This will make the depositor suitable for decorating purposes with chocolate.
The touch screen interface will get a new version of the Hacos Chococad software, which will enable to make designs in a very easy way, using the depositor screen or even an external PC.
Since this 3D movement will be made possible thanks to a moving belt, the rest of the depositor stays as it is. This will result in a very competitive price and enable to retrofit the system to existing MINOS depositors.

The HML 480 S is an automatic mini moulding line with a very small footprint of +/- 3 m². It provides the natural upgrade from hand moulding, reducing staff requirements, improving productivity and providing consistent high output.
What the HML 480 S mini moulding line does for you:

• Mould transport with variable speed up to 8 moulds/minute
• Overflowing or dosing with or without automatic tempering
• Scraping the top of the mould for clean operation
• Scraping all sides of the mould
• Vibrating to remove air bubbles from the chocolate
• Turning the mould upside down
• Shaking with variable speed to regulate the thickness of the shell
• Pumping the chocolate back to the filler
• Resting and scraping when the moulds are turned upside down so that you can take the moulds off the line without dripping
• Machines is on wheels for easy cleaning of the workspace

Cooling belts can be used for a multitude of applications. Therefore Hacos has made an ultimate effort to create a completely modular construction system, so taht we can tailor the cooling tunnel to your needs.
The CBELT concept has convection - only cooling, the EBELT concept has both convection and radiation cooling. Both cooling tunnels can optionally be equipped for the incorporation of extruders, depositors, drum systems and seperate bottom cooling.
The cooling sections come in sections of 2 meters, so that the client can determine the length of the tunnel based on his needs.
Of course, these tunnels are built following the usual Hacos Quality guidelines, using sandblased stainless steel frames, automatic belt correction, and doors all around for easy cleaning.
They are available in standard widths of 320. 450. 620. 820, 1000, 1300 and 1600 mm.

This quick melter is especially interesting when small amounts of melted chocolate are needed, or when frequently different kinds of chocolate are needed.
The hopper is equipped with 10 water heated tubes. The temperature of the hopper and the temperature of the tank can be regulated seperately on the digital thermostat.
The hopper can hold 5 chocolate blocks of 5kg can be filled up with drops.
This way, you can melt up to 50 kg/h.
Since the machine can be opened up completely, you can easily clean it and use for different kinds, colours or flavours of chocolate.
And all this at a very attractieve price.
