Our range: chocolate machines for every application

From melting tanks, tempering machines, and cooling tunnels to enrobing, moulding, and depositing systems – including decorating machines and other smart solutions – discover the full range of chocolate machines for both artisanal and industrial chocolate production.
Each machine is designed with a focus on efficiency, ease of use, and reliable performance.

Melting tanks: for a precise and efficient melting process

Looking for a reliable melting tank for your chocolate production?

Whether you work on an artisanal or industrial scale, Betec offers powerful and efficient solutions that ensure a carefully controlled melting process with full control over temperature and mixing.

Our melting tanks offer numerous advantages:

• Consistent temperature control
• Preservation of flavour and aroma
• Ideal chocolate viscosity
• Efficient mixing thanks to side and bottom scrapers
• Optional: built-in circulation pump for an even more homogeneous result

Each tank is designed with a focus on hygiene, accessibility, and food safety. Thanks to the motor positioned underneath, all components are easily accessible for maintenance and cleaning.

You can choose from a variety of models: from compact single-walled melting tanks to triple-walled industrial melting kettles – always with the same focus on quality, speed, and sustainable performance.

Tempering machines: for perfect chocolate crystallization

A good tempering machine is crucial for a beautiful gloss, a satisfying snap, and long shelf life of your chocolate. Whether you work artisanal or produce on an industrial scale – with Betec’s tempering machines you are assured of the right result.

Choose the machine that fits your production process:

• Manual tempering machines offer simple operation – provided you have a good understanding of the tempering process. They are also easy to clean and more cost-effective than machines with an automatic tempering unit. Ideal for those who regularly switch between chocolate types.
• Compact 2-in-1 models combine tempering with moulding or enrobing in a single unit. Thanks to this versatility, you maximise your investment – perfect for those looking to produce flexibly in limited space.
• Fully automatic tempering units keep the temperature continuously stable and adjust automatically when needed. This means you don’t have to constantly monitor or manually adjust the temperature – which is required with manual tempering. The result is a consistent crystal structure and top-quality chocolate, time after time.

All models are designed for ease of use and efficiency. Via the intuitive touchscreen, you can quickly adjust all parameters and monitor the process at a glance. Up to 100 recipes can be stored in advance – ideal for those working with multiple products or chocolate varieties.

With a Betec tempering machine, you are always guaranteed the perfect processing temperature, tailored to your product – from pralines to bars and more.

Moulding machines: for perfectly shaped bars, pralines, and figures

Chocolate moulding requires precision, control, and flexibility. Whether you're producing chocolate bars, hollow figures, or pralines – at Betec, you’ll find the right moulding machine for your application.

• The MB series offers artisanal chocolate processing with manual tempering and digitally adjustable parameters – ideal for smaller productions or those who want to maintain maximum control.
• The MT and AT series combine automatic tempering with touchscreen control, enabling smooth and precise operation.
• The GPE and GPI models add extra speed and dosing precision for those looking to scale up their production.
• For larger volumes, the ML and CL series provide advanced moulding lines with automatic chocolate feeding, ready for industrial use.

Each machine is designed for efficiency, flexibility, and consistent quality. Because chocolate moulding is more than just technology – it’s a craft, born from passion and refinement.

Looking for a partner who can strengthen your moulding process and help your creations shine?Betec is here to support you – so your chocolate artistry can truly stand out.

Enrobing, glazing or coating machines: for a perfect finish

Do you want to coat your pralines, cookies, truffles or other creations with a smooth, flawless layer – whether it’s chocolate, fruit coulis or another sugar mass? Then a reliable and precisely adjustable enrobing machine is indispensable. Betec offers a wide range of enrobing solutions – from compact setups for artisanal production to full lines for industrial applications.

Even the smallest models are equipped with features typically found only in larger industrial systems:

• Independently switchable infeed belt
• Adjustable chocolate curtain tray
• Bottom bath with adjustable depth
• Mechanically adjustable vibration for a smooth surface
• Variable-speed fan for controlled airflow
• Compensation roller for a clean “foot” under the product
• Heated tail remover with two rotation directions – prevents tails and drips on the cooling or take-off belt
• Everything neatly enclosed under a plexiglass cover with warm air heating, so the coating is processed under ideal conditions

Customisation is possible, for example for enrobing fat-rich products like donuts, or frozen items like ice pralines. Each machine is tailored to provide optimal adhesion, flow and result for your specific application.

Our machines combine easy-to-clean design with thoughtful engineering – for smooth maintenance, hygiene, and a long lifespan. That way, you get the most out of your creations – with a finish that looks just as professional as it tastes.

Let your chocolate creations – or other treats – shine in perfection, with an enrobing solution tailored to your production.

Cooling tunnels: an essential step for a glossy and stable end result

After moulding or enrobing your products, carefully controlled cooling is essential. Only then will your chocolate or coating achieve the right hardness, gloss, and stability.
Betec offers a wide range of cooling solutions, tailored to the product type, available space, and desired production scale.

For enrobing:

• Cooling tunnels with or without insulated base plate
• Water-cooled base plate for additional cooling capacity
• Single or double air zone:
  – Single air zone: suitable for compound chocolate or fruit coulis, where cold air may blow directly onto the product
  – Double air zone: recommended when using real chocolate. Cold air circulates in a separate chamber above the product, preventing direct exposure to cold airflow
• Adjustable air vents allow you to fine-tune the airflow – ideal for mixed production (compound and real chocolate), or when targeted cooling is required in a later phase

For moulding:

• Horizontal cooling tunnels with modular conveyors – ideal for polycarbonate moulds, blisters or other containers, provided floor space is available
• Vertical cooling towers with spiral belt – compact in width, efficient in height
• Ladder cooling systems in cold rooms – space-saving and energy-efficient, often used in combination with moulding or depositing lines

Each tunnel is designed for optimal air circulation, precise temperature control, and stable humidity – three essential factors for even crystallisation, fast cooling, and the prevention of discolouration or condensation.

Choose from economic models for artisanal applications or industrial systems for high output. All models are robust, hygienically built, and perfectly integrable into your existing production environment.

The right cooling tunnel makes the difference between a good product and a perfect end result. Choose a solution that grows with your production – reliable, flexible, and fully customised.

Filling and depositing machines: accurate dosing for every application

For dosing liquid chocolate or soft fillings like ganache, fruit jelly or praline filling, precision is essential. Betec’s depositing machines combine accuracy with ease of use – perfectly suited for both artisanal workshops and industrial lines.

Depending on your product and application, you can choose from several models:

• MT 80 GPE or GPI – automatic tempering and depositing machines for filling moulds or blisters with tempered chocolate. Ideal for making carrés, solid bars or hollow figures.
• Boss 275 – an innovative one-shot depositor with gear pumps. Chocolate and filling are deposited in a single movement – perfect for filled pralines. Major advantage: continuous dosing without pre-suction, which significantly increases production speed.
• Boss 2x 32P 3D – an all-rounder with piston pump technology. Suitable for traditional one-shot work and 3D spraying of solid or filled shapes. Perfect for seasonal trends: from Christmas trees and snowmen to Easter bunnies or Valentine’s hearts – all filled in a single pass. With an optional slide valve, this machine can also handle chocolate with larger inclusions, such as whole hazelnuts.
• CFD – volumetric depositor on a C-frame, ideal for depositing or spraying fillings on a moulding line. Compact models feature a heated buffer hopper. Optionally, this machine can be fitted with a flow-through head and connected to a ring circuit system – enabling fully automatic refilling.
• FM and FMD – piston depositing machines for larger volumes or more complex recipes. Easily handle masses with inclusions up to 5 mm. Standard equipped with a vibration system, with optional upgrades such as a dual hopper or mould destacker for added capacity and flexibility.

?? Whether you work with chocolate, caramel, fruit or nut paste – a Betec depositing machine lets you dose quickly, hygienically and with exact recipe accuracy. This way, you get the most out of your production capacity every time.

Decorating machines: give your creations the finishing touch they deserve

The right decoration adds a touch of magic to your chocolate creations and elevates them visually. Whether you’re applying fine lines, a playful accent, or a uniform layer of cocoa powder – with Betec’s decorating solutions, every detail is finished with precision and professionalism.

You can choose from various types of decorating machines – tailored to your product and production process:

Granulate decorating machines

• Drum decorator – for an even coating with crunchy elements like nuts, crisp pearls or sugar sprinkles
• Sprinkler “rainfall” system – for gentle and controlled sprinkling of light decorations like coconut flakes
• Multi-granulate decorator – combines the two above techniques for maximum versatility
• Precision decorator – applies exactly dosed quantities of granulate to predefined zones

Chocolate and sugar mass decoration

Our string decorators or drislers are ideal for creating elegant lines across your products – in chocolate, compound or sugar mass. Thanks to the heated environment and automatic cleaning, performance remains stable and reliable. With the LD1-500, you can also draw fine lines across the product – straight, diagonal, tight or playful – you choose the style that fits your creation.

Cocoa coating

To finish truffles with a coating of cocoa or fine flakes, there’s the CPM 800 – an efficient solution for a uniform result.

?? Don’t just make your products taste amazing – make them look magical too. The right decorating machine enhances the appeal, recognisability, and quality of every final product – perfectly tailored to your brand, season, or target audience.

General accessories: smart extras for smooth production
