Chocolate machinery designer and manufacturer PTL has launched its latest chocolate melter, the PTL Melter V20. The machine has been designed to meet its customers’ demand for faster production process and more flexibility for producing more SKUs with shorter lifecycles.
As product melting capability is central to this, the company looked at its melter from the ground up, with the aim of delivering a machine that could support increased production, lower costs and greater agility.
According to the company, the PTL Melter V20 has a melt rate that is up to 125% higher than previous melters. The changeover process has also been transformed. Masses/coatings can be quickly switched and washdown is fast and simple, with a focus on allergen cleanability. For example, all product contact surfaces are removable or accessible for cleaning.
The machine has a 45% smaller footprint and a self-contained, plug and play design. Easy to fit into any production area, it can eliminate the need for a tank/kettle strategy and for long pipe runs, as it can be situated next to use-point.
Designed to melt multiple SKUs, manage allergens and minimise downtime, the chocolate melter is the result of research with multinationals and co-manufacturer customers throughout the US and other markets, and R&D by PTL’s expert team.
