The Betec E400 Compound Chocolate Enrobing Line is a complete production system specifically engineered for enrobing products with compound coatings and imitation chocolate. Unlike traditional chocolate, compound coatings require specialized equipment and precise temperature control to achieve consistent coating quality and product appearance.
This turnkey system combines an MK180 chocolate melting tank, bottomer, enrober, cooling conveyor, and 4-meter cooling tunnel into one efficient production line. The components work together to provide smooth product flow, reliable coating adhesion, and consistent cooling for a wide range of confectionery and snack products.
Why Use a Bottomer?
Many products—especially marzipan, cream centers, protein bars, and certain confectionery items—do not allow compound coatings to adhere well to the bottom surface.
The integrated bottomer applies a thin layer of compound coating to the underside of each product before it enters the enrober. This creates better adhesion, improves product appearance, and provides complete, uniform coverage.
