Suzhou Harmo Food Machinery Co., Ltd

With the rapid growth of the U.S. premium chocolate market, local confectionery and bakery brands are increasingly investing in automation. Recently, our company successfully exported eight fully automatic chocolate decorating machines and cooling tunnel production lines to a U.S. customer. Each line has an effective working width of 1000mm, and its performance has been highly recognized by the client. The customer is a medium-to-large chocolate manufacturer in the United States, specializing in handmade and decorative chocolate products. Previously, their production faced challenges in decoration precision and cooling efficiency, affecting product consistency and output. After in-depth technical communication and on-site testing, our company provided a customized chocolate decorating and cooling tunnel solution. The decorating system adopts a high-precision servo control to ensure uniform patterns and sharp edges, while the cooling tunnel is equipped with multi-zone temperature control (15°C–20°C) to maintain product gloss and structural stability. After installation and commissioning, the client reported a 30% increase in production efficiency and a defect rate below 2%. During the peak holiday seasons in the U.S. market, the new automation system effectively reduced manual workload while ensuring continuous, stable, and high-standard production. Market Analysis: The demand for premium chocolate products in the U.S. continues to rise, especially in the festive gift and customized chocolate sectors. Investing in automated chocolate decorating and cooling systems not only enhances production efficiency but also ensures consistent appearance and flavor quality. As automation and sustainability become key trends in the chocolate industry, more manufacturers in North America are upgrading their equipment, presenting new opportunities for our company’s market expansion. Conclusion: This project highlights our company’s strong technical expertise and customization capabilities in chocolate equipment manufacturing. From design and production to installation and after-sales support, we remain committed to providing global food manufacturers with efficient, reliable, and intelligent chocolate processing solutions.

Our company has successfully delivered a 5000L chocolate holding tank to a client in Kuwait for chocolate paste and cocoa mass storage. In regions where ambient temperatures exceed 40°C, traditional tanks often struggle with uneven heating and clogging. We customized a double-jacketed stainless steel design with a PID-controlled heating system and continuous agitator, maintaining precise temperatures between 30°C and 55°C. This ensures consistent fluidity and texture of chocolate during long-term storage. The client reported stable performance with less than ±0.5°C fluctuation after 48 hours of operation, greatly improving product stability and transfer efficiency. Market Insight: The Middle East’s growing confectionery industry faces challenges from extreme heat, making advanced thermal control systems essential. Large-capacity chocolate holding tanks have become a preferred choice among regional factories. Conclusion: We continue to support our Middle Eastern partners with durable, temperature-stable chocolate processing solutions designed for hot climates and demanding production environments.

Our company recently exported a 1-meter-wide chocolate depositing line to a U.S. chocolate manufacturer specializing in premium decorative products. The system’s outstanding stability and precise temperature control quickly impressed the client, who soon placed a repeat order for an identical line to expand production capacity. This depositing line adopts a full-servo precision control system with thermostatic tanks and high-accuracy nozzles, ensuring uniform depositing under various viscosity and temperature conditions. The conveyor and cooling sections feature modular design, allowing adjustable speeds and flexible recipe switching. The system also supports automatic cleaning and recipe memory, reducing downtime and operator intervention. After commissioning, the client reported a 28% increase in total productivity and a product qualification rate above 98%, meeting peak seasonal demands with ease. Market Insight: In the U.S., the demand for customized and visually appealing chocolates continues to grow, especially in the gift and holiday product segments. Automated chocolate depositing systems are helping manufacturers improve efficiency and achieve superior product consistency—becoming a key trend in North American chocolate production. Conclusion: We remain dedicated to serving the U.S. and North American markets with intelligent, flexible, and high-precision chocolate production solutions, helping customers enhance competitiveness through automation.
