MB Series: Compact Tabletop Models for Your Needs

Looking for a compact and intuitive solution for processing chocolate? Then the MB 15 is an excellent choice for both artisanal applications and small-scale production. With a 15 kg chocolate tank, this machine is perfect for starting chocolatiers, but also for larger producers who enjoy working with small batches.
Thanks to its ease of use, quick cleaning, and smart design, the MB 15 is a valuable addition to any professional workspace.

Working efficiently with chocolate? This machine makes the difference.

Anyone who frequently switches between different types or colors of chocolate knows how important it is to clean quickly and thoroughly. The low chocolate volume and smart design ensure smooth switching during color changes, without time loss.

The chocolate temperature is regulated with high precision via a digital control unit, while the feeding wheel speed is infinitely adjustable. This way, you always maintain full control over your production process.

Additional features, such as a heated vibrating table, prevent chocolate from sticking or accumulating. This not only eases your workflow, but also guarantees a consistent end result – ideal for creating pralines and other fine chocolate products.

The robust agitator ensures even mixing, which directly contributes to better quality of the tempered chocolate.

Everything is mounted on a convenient trolley with storage space for accessories, helping you keep your workspace clean and organized.

Scaling up production? No problem.

Need more capacity? Then there are the MB 35, MB 80, and MB 120. These models offer the same reliable functionality as the MB 15 but come with larger chocolate tanks, built into a stable wheeled frame and equipped with a user-friendly touchscreen interface.

With the touchscreen, you can precisely set all parameters, easily read them, and store up to 100 recipes in the integrated recipe menu. This makes streamlined and consistent production second nature – even with larger volumes.

MT & AT Series: Always Perfectly Tempered Chocolate

Those striving for consistent chocolate quality will find the MT and AT series a reliable and time-saving solution. These machines take over the entire tempering process automatically, ensuring the chocolate remains at the perfect temperature at all times. The result? A beautiful shine, optimal texture, and a professional end result – all without the need for manual adjustments.

To enhance both the quality of your products and the efficiency of your production process, these models continuously deliver perfectly tempered chocolate. Ideal for stable processing and a final product that excels even in shelf life.

The AT series features a heated water jacket, which offers higher and more stable heat capacity than electric heating mats. This ensures extremely precise temperature control, even during long production runs, intensive use, or when working with frozen products.

Thanks to fully automatic tempering, you as the operator no longer have to worry about temperature control. The machine ensures that the correct crystal type is formed – crucial for a glossy finish, firm snap, and long shelf life once the chocolate is fully crystallized.

The core unit is by default designed for tempering chocolate, but can easily be expanded for moulding or enrobing. With a vibrating table or as a feeding unit for a moulding line, it is perfectly suited for filling moulds. Mount an enrobing belt, and the machine transforms into a fully functional enrobing machine, allowing your products to be evenly coated with tempered chocolate.

For those looking for extra flexibility and space-saving, there are the MTE and ATE series models. These are designed as true 2-in-1 machines: they combine the functionality of a tempering machine with the option to also operate as a moulding machine or enrobing machine – depending on your configuration.

This way, you get more out of a single machine, without compromising on quality, capacity, or ease of use.

Dosing Functions for Precise Chocolate Processing

All models in the MT series come standard with an integrated dosing function, allowing you to fill moulds quickly and accurately. The dosing head ensures clean processing without spilling, and guarantees consistent weight – ideal for making bars, napolitains, or carraques.

For production lines with higher output and maximum process accuracy, there are also models equipped with an additional dosing pump. This technology has been developed in two versions:

• the MT GPE, with an external pump unit mounted on the machine’s frame;
• and the MT GPI, where the dosing pump is internally integrated into the main machine.

Both versions draw chocolate directly from the tempering flow, without interrupting it. As a result, the temperature remains stable, even during intensive production, which is crucial for a uniform result at high volumes.

These models can also be equipped with a dosing head with adjustable nozzles, specially designed for filling hollow moulds. The control system includes a user-friendly quick-select function that allows you to easily set different dosing times – ideal for moulds with multiple cavities of varying sizes.

For applications with pieces or inclusions, such as nuts or crispies, the MT GPE is optionally available with a lobe pump instead of a classic gear pump. This setup makes it possible to temper and dose chocolate with pieces up to 5 mm without clogging. The lobe pump is also easy to disassemble and clean.

Efficient and Large-Scale Production with Custom Solutions

Automatic Filling Infrastructure and Complex Line Setups

For those aiming for efficiency at higher volumes, fully automated custom solutions are available. The MT and AT machines can be connected via double-walled piping, allowing chocolate to be automatically fed from external melting tanks. This ensures a continuous, stable supply – ideal for those who require higher production capacity without interruption.

In addition to chocolate supply, various automations are possible in terms of mould handling. Think of conveyor belts for the infeed and outfeed of polycarbonate moulds, in combination with mould destackers, preheating stations, cooling tunnels or towers, and even mould return transport. This creates a complete, modular moulding or dosing line, fully tailored to your production requirements.

For those looking to produce center-filled products, this line can be easily expanded with a one-shot machine. This allows, for example, bars or pralines with fillings to be filled and moulded in a single movement – fast, accurate, and perfectly suited for industrial use.

Because all components share internal programming and control, the various machines can communicate seamlessly with one another. This ensures flawless synchronization and a smooth production process. Such mutual alignment is essential for those who want to get the most out of their line configuration – in terms of ease of use, performance, and reliability.

Betec CL and ML Series: Traditional Moulding Lines for Solid Chocolate Products and Pralines

In addition to the modular dosing lines for solid chocolate, there are also the classic moulding lines for those looking for a more traditional approach with high precision. The CL series push-through lines are designed for the production of solid chocolate products such as bars, napolitains, or carraques. These lines combine overflow and dosing functions to ensure optimal control over the final result.

Each line is fully custom-built, tailored to your specific production needs and product types. Whether you require a standard line or an advanced solution with integration of auxiliary equipment, everything can be configured down to the last detail.

For those who also want to produce filled products – such as pralines or filled bars – there is the ML series. These advanced lines combine the same overflow and dosing capabilities, but also offer additional modules such as:

 

• mould destackers
• automatic mould cleaning
• preheating
• turning and vibrating stations
• decoration sections
• cooling tunnels
• demoulding systems
• and product transport to the packaging department

These extensive configuration options make it possible to produce even the most complex filled chocolate products with high precision. Having control over every part of the process – such as the thickness of the chocolate shell – is essential for both the flavour experience and the shelf life of your final product.

Every installation is designed based on your production environment and desired output. Depending on your needs, the lines can be built as semi-automatic or fully automatic systems. This ensures a solution that truly works for your process – reliable, scalable, and adapted to the reality of your production.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moulding Lines and Dosing Machines (FAQ)

1. What is the difference between a moulding line and a dosing line?
A moulding line fills moulds with chocolate using an overflow and scraping system: moulds pass under a chocolate stream, and excess chocolate is removed. This technique is known for enabling very fine shells – essential for flavour experience.
A dosing line works with precise dosing and is suitable for solid chocolate products (like bars or carraques) – using a tempering/dosing machine – as well as for filled products via a one-shot system.

2. Can I start with a compact machine and expand later?
Absolutely. The MB, MT, and AT series are true 2-in-1 machines: you can start with a compact setup (such as a vibrating table or enrobing belt) and later scale up to a full moulding line, cooling tunnel, or enrobing line.
Dosing setups are also modular: models like the MT 80 GPE/GPI or Boss One Shot offer a solid foundation that can easily be expanded with infeed conveyors, cooling systems, demoulding units, and more.

3. What is the advantage of automatic tempering?
A machine with automatic tempering keeps the chocolate continuously at the ideal processing temperature. This helps avoid errors and results in shiny products with good snap and better shelf life. It also saves time since you don’t need to monitor the process manually.

4. Can I also make filled products like filled pralines?
Yes. With a one-shot machine or dosing line, you can produce filled pralines or bars in one motion – fast and efficiently.
Those who want more control and variation can opt for a traditional moulding line (like the ML400 or ML600). First, the shell is formed, then cooled, filled, and finally sealed with a chocolate layer. This method allows for ultra-thin shells and working with various mould shapes at once.

5. Can I process chocolate with pieces, like nuts or crispies?
Yes. Machines like the MT GPE, when equipped with a lobe pump, can process pieces up to 5 mm without clogging. The pump is also easy to clean. For larger-scale production, one-shot systems with pistons are available that can handle chocolate with inclusions.

6. Can your machines work with existing equipment?
