The Glossmaster multipurpose cooling tunnels are designed for all types of cooling: radiation, convection & contact cooling. They can be executed as chambers provided with only air cooling or can be equipped with water cooled plates beneath conveyor belts.

Each zone can be individually set to one of cooling patterns (radiation or convection) in order to select the correct temperature condition for cooling glaze based both on the tempered chocolate mass & a substitute.

A cooling chamber is completely isolated via support plates & housings made of molded polyurethane. This material ensures the highest degree of isolation & meets the requirements of GMP standards.

A convenient access to products made available with the help of folding or removable housings contributes to the fast & qualitative cleaning. Solely corrosion-proof materials are employed in the product contact zone.

The technique of the Glossmaster® machines rests on a long-term experience & is characterized by the efficiency of concepts proven in practice. It features high reliability under a long-term operation, low maintenance & servicing expenses and a modular design.

The Glossmaster® coating process ensures uniform coating in terms of weight & quality, gloss products as well as their long shelf life. The following patterns of coating are possible: complete coating, bottom coating or partial coating of products.

The double-chamber execution of the Glossmaster® coating machine ensures the invariable degree of chocolate tempering due to the continuous mass rotation. Both sections of the machine are water heated & are provided with the individual temperature regulation.

The chocolate mass circulating without pulsation within the front section of the tank is fed to the double curtain device. Since the tempered mass is fed in the amount higher as compared to that required for coating the excess mass is flowing into the warmer second section where the decrystallization process occurs. Such temperature condition prevents the mass build-up within the coating machine even with possible 3 - shift operation.

Crumbs which are washed away in the process of coating are fed to the second section together with the chocolate excess. By means of a return pump these residues are delivered for sieving.

The Glossmaster® CTR is mounted on a frame which enables easy pulling out of a carriage containing the mass. This feature not only facilitates the machine cleaning when changing the mass but also facilitates maintenance since a complete access to each of its assemblies is available.

However, the outstanding aspect of the machine is its hygienic design. The Glossmaster® CTR is available in a specific execution well-suited for washing with water.

In this case a mesh conveyor & integrated parts are washed using special nozzles located on a common incorporated strip. By this water penetration into the top section of the machine is prevented.

On the completion of the mash conveyor cleaning the carriage is pulled out and all pumps circulate wash water within all inner pipelines including the pipe designed for the chocolate curtain feed.

In order to accelerate cleaning it is possible to add fat – dissolving surfactants into water.

In the course of the Glossmaster® engineering due attention was paid to the convenience of the access to all functional units of the machine, a well-considered facing & the provision for the sufficient free space beneath machines for quick & qualitative cleaning.

In a standard execution the Glossmaster® CTR provides for diverse comfort:
  pulsation-free uniform double curtain
  height-adjustable device for bottom coating,
  blowing device offering balanced air flow in order to ensure a uniform glaze weight,
  pneumatic vibrator,
  height & amplitude-adjustable shaft for bottom leveling equipped with a scraper,
  long service life of a mesh belt due to the ideal system of belt movement,
  heated & height-adjustable detailing shaft,
  precise temperature condition of mass as well as space within the machine
  computer-aided control system & completely telescopic carriage,
  hygienic design.

The Glossmaster® BT is a device designed for bottom coating with compound or chocolate. In case of chocolate coating this device can be installed into the circuit of the tempering unit of the successive coater.

Special components for each specific product are available; these include: feed systems, spot & line decorators, product turn-over devices, a grate for holding emerging products, devices for coat removal from the product bottom, dusters, powderers & devices for the formation of needle- shaped projections.
