The special focus of the research and development activities of Sollich company, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, is on the optimization of customer’s production process. This is achieved through high availability and improved handling of the company’s machines.

In order to realize high machine availabilities and to meet at the same time the increasing hygiene standards, Sollich sets highest value on an efficient, easy cleaning of the machines and offers corresponding functions. A novelty in the Thermo-Flow Plus cooling tunnel segment is the wheel-out heat exchanger. This function allows the operator an easy and thorough cleaning of the heat exchanger. The mobile belt washing unit with integrated hygiene washing drum offers a practical handling when cleaning the conveyor belt and additionally ensures that no foreign particles can get onto the products during the cleaning process.

For the Turbotemper, a machine for chocolate pre-crystallisation, Sollich offers a complementary cleaning device in order to allow an easy and quick mass changeover. The mobile cleaning device can be flexibly applied within the production site for different tempering machines with a throughput of up to 3600 kg/h.

For the segment of the Enromat enrobing machines the manufacturer provides efficient cleaning by a clean-in-place system. Besides a mobile washing station and additional accessories all machines are constructed in such a way that they comply with the increasing hygiene requirements.

For the production of bar products, Sollich has the new MiniConbar forming system in its programme. With this version of the Conbar bar line, the company adapts to the demand in the bar product industry and also offers a version for smaller production capacities.
