Sollich KG to showcase machines at interpack 2020

During interpack (7-13 May 2020 in Dusseldorf), Sollich KG will showcase machines and equipment for the confectionery industry at Hall 3, Stand F20. The company will place special focus of research and development activities on the optimisation of customer’s production process.

Easy to clean machinery

In order to realise high machine availabilities and to meet at the same time the increasing hygiene standards, Sollich KG sets highest value on an efficient, easy cleaning of the machines. Consequently, appropriate cleaning measures for the diverse machines of the whole product range will be introduced at the show. An absolute novelty in the Thermo-Flow® cooling tunnel segment is the wheel-out heat exchanger. This function allows the operator an easy and thorough cleaning of the heat exchanger. The mobile belt washing unit with integrated hygiene washing drum guarantees a practical handling when cleaning the conveyor belt and additionally ensures that no foreign particles can get onto the products during the cleaning process.

The Enromat® enrobing machine

For the Turbotemper®, a machine for chocolate pre-crystallisation, Sollich KG offers a complementary cleaning device in order to allow an easy and quick mass changeover. The mobile cleaning device can be flexibly applied within the production site for different tempering machines with a throughput of up to 3600 kg/h. For the segment of the Enromat® enrobing machines Sollich provides efficient cleaning by the “Clean in Place“system. Besides a mobile washing station and additional accessories all machines are constructed in such a way that they comply with the increasing hygiene requirements.

Digitalisation

Further improvements in R&D have been made in the scope of digitalisation as to information exchange between machine operator and the Sollich KG. The “Fast Lane” remote maintenance system enables data from the application process to be transferred to the Sollich KG, in order to optimise service features and to reduce machine downtimes.

On artificial intelligence, Sollich will introduce for the first time an approach to self-analysis in their tempering machines. In the future this self-analysis feature shall be combined with an automatic adjustment of temperature values in order to reduce human involvement and also to increase the quality of the tempered chocolate at the same time.

Sollich Tempergraph®

A further solution to improve the quality of chocolate during the handling process, the company offers Sollich Tempergraph®,  a device that allows automatic measuring of the degree of temper in the chocolate. The Tempergraph® can be installed within the enrobing machine. In this constellation an adequate determination of the tempering degree can be achieved – namely directly before enrobing.

Sollich has introduced many features to its machines to improve the quality of the output. One of these features is the dew point display within the cooling tunnel. This instrument helps to prevent errors when cooling down products and, thus, ensures perfect product quality after the cooling process.

Conbar bar line

Miniconbar® system

For the production of bar products Sollich KG will present the new Miniconbar® system. With this version of the Conbar bar line, Sollich adapts to the demand in the bar product industry and also offers a version for smaller production capacities.  With this alternative Sollich KG likes can meet customers’ individual needs. The same applies to the production of sandwich products. In this segment Sollich KG will exhibit the Sollcocap® sandwich system.  Furthermore, Sollich KG will present a new solution for tempering and aerating of masses with ingredients and/or flavours.

100 years in the business

This year Sollich KG celebrates its 100^th anniversary, growing from a small enterprise then into an industry leader today. At the booth, visitors have the chance to look at a few old machines next to the current machines and to see the large improvement and development Sollich KG has made in the past century.

Together with its sister company Chocotech GmbH, Sollich KG offers its customers the possibility to get the whole manufacturing process at one stop shopping. In this way machines for the complete process including cooking, forming and enrobing can be offered.
