The three companies are combining their core competencies – forming, dosing, and enrobing – into a perfectly coordinated production line that meets the demands of modern snack and confectionery products. The line easily handles sugar-reduced formulations. Just right for in-demand better-for-you products. A key highlight is its compact design: the line measures less than six meters in length (excluding the cooling tunnel). According to the manufacturers, the potential output per hour is 6,000 pieces and more. Working width is 300 mm.

The system unites the expertise of three specialists: Krüger & Salecker provides the technology for forming the base layer (MFT 300), Nera Technologies contributes its one-shot system (NeraOne) for precise dosing of the second layer, and LCM Chocolate Machines supplies the chocolate enrobing system (LCM 320 ATC). All modules can be detached from the line and used as stand-alone units for forming, dosing, or enrobing. For example, NeraOne can be used to deposit directly onto the cooling belt or as a one-shot unit for molded pralines. “With just a few adjustments, the machines can be combined or operated individually,” says Nera Managing Director Joel Tschannen. “Together, they enable the simple production of highly sophisticated products. That’s exactly the kind of flexibility small manufacturers need so urgently.” Sales are handled by Krüger & Salecker.
