Moulding Cookies in Chocolate

A contract confectioner was asked to make a product that required placing cookies and moulded chocolate together precisely with both the chocolate and the cookie visible in the finished product. Their existing moulding line was not able to do this and putting them together by hand would be too time consuming and expensive.

Graybill extended the customer’s moulding line with a special cookie dropper section so that cookies could be placed into the chocolate mould as part of the moulding process. Two cookie placers, each placing two rows, were used to fill the four-row moulds. In addition, the placers were designed so the size-specific part lifts off to change over to a second cookie shape. Graybill had extensive prior experience placing cookies and cookie pieces that are entirely enclosed in moulded chocolate at high production rates.
