Westal 300 Micro Chocolate Moulding Line
EUROPE (Western and Northern)
300mm x 205mm x 30mm wide Moulds
The line has been expanded a lot in terms of capacity/capability (longer chain, better SEW motor, expanded cooling, and more)
Including also a Jacketed, Stainless Steel Chocolate Tank, around 400Kgs capacity
This line was fully refurbished and extended in 2015.
Line holds 198 moulds when full
Two types of moulds (60g and 30g chocolate bars), 300 of each available as well to go with the Line
Was running at 8 moulds per minute, however that was because there was a bottleneck further downstream. Should be able to run at 12 to 13 moulds per minute (maybe more) depending on chocolate weight in mould
Can be used also as a One Shot Line, although owner never run on this product
