Background
With locations worldwide, this customer is the leading manufacturer of high quality cocoa, chocolate and confectionery products.

Problem
In the production process of chocolate candy, heated chocolate is poured onto 4' nozzle outlet plates, which deposits very accurate measured amounts of chocolate into molds. These plates were being cleaned by hand - a very time consuming process. Due to cleaning standards issued by the FDA for food processing, the plates needs to be thoroughly sanitized. They needed to clean one plate per hour.


Solution/System
A stainless steel F-4000-LX-P, with custom fixture to hold the plate at a 45 degree angle. A special spray manifold was designed for this unit to flood and wash the entire surface of the nozzle plate.
