Raw Materials Supported
The croquant bar manufacturing line supports a wide range of confectionery ingredients:
- Peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios
- Sesame and sunflower seeds
- Caramelized sugar and glucose syrup
- Honey and molasses
- Butter or fat-based caramel blends
- Candied fruits and inclusions
- Cocoa and chocolate layers
- Protein crisps or cereal additions (optional hybrid recipes)
Production Process
1. Sugar & Syrup Cooking
Sugar, glucose syrup, honey, or caramel mixtures are cooked at controlled high temperatures to achieve the required brittle structure and caramelization level.
2. Ingredient Blending
Roasted nuts, seeds, or inclusions are mixed with the hot syrup in a heat-resistant industrial mixer to ensure complete coating and binding.
3. Hot Forming & Spreading
The mixture is transferred while hot to a forming unit where it is spread and compressed into a continuous slab with adjustable thickness.
4. Leveling & Pressing
Precision rollers stabilize density and create uniform structure across the product sheet.
5. Cooling & Hardening
A controlled cooling tunnel rapidly reduces temperature, allowing the croquant mass to crystallize and achieve its characteristic crunchy texture.
6. Cutting System
Heavy-duty longitudinal and guillotine cutting systems divide the hardened slab into accurate bar sizes without cracking or product loss.
7. Optional Chocolate Enrobing
Products can be partially or fully coated using a chocolate enrobing machine for premium confectionery applications.
8. Automatic Packaging
Finished bars are transferred directly to flow-pack or multi-pack packaging systems for hygienic packing.
