Industrial washing equipment for the chocolate industry
Chocolate production requires precise processes, high standards of hygiene and efficient production equipment. Moulds, plaques, trays, utensils and other reusable equipment need to be cleaned thoroughly between production runs to remove chocolate, cocoa butter and other product residues.
Oliver Douglas designs and manufactures industrial washing machines for the chocolate industry, providing automated cleaning solutions for chocolate manufacturers, confectionery producers and food processing facilities.
Our industrial washing equipment can be designed around the equipment you need to clean, helping deliver a consistent and efficient cleaning process while reducing reliance on manual washing.
Chocolate Mould & Plaque Washing
Chocolate moulds and plaques are essential production equipment and can require regular cleaning to remove chocolate residues and cocoa butter.
Oliver Douglas washing machines can be configured for applications including:
- Chocolate mould washing
- Chocolate plaque washing
- Chocolate tray washing
- Confectionery equipment washing
- Utensil washing
- Production equipment cleaning
- Rack and basket washing
Automating the cleaning process can help improve consistency and reduce the time required to manually clean large quantities of reusable production equipment.
Cleaning Chocolate & Cocoa Butter Residues
Chocolate production can present specific cleaning challenges. Chocolate, cocoa butter, fats and other product residues can adhere to moulds, trays and production equipment.
The correct combination of water temperature, pressure, detergent and wash time is important for achieving effective cleaning while maintaining an efficient production process.
Oliver Douglas works with customers to understand the equipment being washed and the nature of the contamination before developing the appropriate industrial washing solution.
