Detailed Product Description

Engineered for Excellence in Bar Manufacturing

This isn't just a machine; it's a complete ecosystem for producing the highest quality snack bars. We've integrated every critical step into one seamless, automated process to maximize your efficiency and ROI.

Line Components & Features:

• 1. Automatic Mixing System:

  • Gentle & Thorough Mixing: Twin-screw or paddle mixers that evenly blend cereals, nuts, syrups, proteins, and powders without crushing ingredients.

  • Heated/Jacketed Tanks: For melting and precisely controlling the temperature of binding agents like sugar syrups or chocolate.

• 2. Continuous Forming & Extrusion Unit:

  • Uniform Shape & Density: Forms a continuous, consistent sheet of product with adjustable thickness and width.

  • No-Stick Design: Prevents even the stickiest nougat or caramel from adhering, ensuring smooth operation.

• 3. Multi-Stage Cooling Tunnel:

  • Precision Cooling: Gradually sets the bar structure, preventing cracking or misshapen bars. Essential for achieving the perfect chew or crunch.

  • Hygienic Airflow: Forced air circulation ensures rapid and even cooling throughout the product.

• 4. Automatic Cutting & Stacking:

  • High-Speed Rotary Cutter: Cools the continuous sheet into individual bars with clean, precise edges. Length is easily adjustable.

  • Optional Stacking: Can be integrated to stack bars for feeding into the wrapping machine.

• 5. Integrated Packaging Machine:

  • Automatic Wrapping: Receives bars and wraps them in film (flow-wrap or pillow-pack) with tight, secure seals.

  • Date Coding: Integrated printer for adding expiration dates and batch codes directly on the wrapper.
