A compact commercial chocolate panning machine with integrated heating and cooling. The Gummy Molds 400mm Chocolate Panning Machine uses a rotating stainless steel coating pan, adjustable drum speed and built-in hot/cold airflow to coat, finish and polish confectionery centers. Designed for chocolatiers, confectionery producers and pilot runs, this model is designed for approximately 6.6–15.4 lb (3–7 kg) per batch, depending on product size and coating process.
For Canadian chocolatiers and confectionery kitchens, this commercial 400mm coating pan is suited to small batches of chocolate-coated nuts, confectionery centres and polished dragées. We can provide destination-specific freight information and confirm the equipment's electrical configuration before your order.
Use the rotary pan to build layers on compatible centers as the drum tumbles them through the coating process. Typical applications include chocolate-coated nuts, small round confections, dragées, dried fruit pieces, cocoa-dusted centers, flavored beans and similar confectionery products. Chocolate, sugar, powder and final polishing steps each require their own suitable recipe, material preparation and operating conditions.
The rotating pan provides continuous product movement while the integrated air system helps manage the temperature and setting of the coating. Operators can adjust speed and pan position for different products, coating thicknesses and discharge needs.
This configuration includes a heating and cooling system within the machine. Air is directed through the pan's ducting to assist coating application and setting. For chocolate panning, controlling airflow and product temperature helps build successive layers with a consistent finish. Performance depends on room conditions, chocolate formulation, loading and operating technique.
Important distinction: a chocolate panning machine coats centers; it does not replace the separate chocolate preparation or tempering steps required by your chosen chocolate and process.
The 400mm model is specified with a 0.2 kW drive motor and adjustable rotation in the 23–46 RPM range. Its manual tilt mechanism lets the operator position the stainless steel pan for loading, coating, finishing and discharge. The food-contact pan is specified with a 1.5 mm wall thickness, and the electrical component specifications include a 60 W fan and 1.0 kW heater; final facility electrical requirements depend on the configured machine.
The compact machine suits growing chocolate brands, confectionery kitchens, test facilities and specialty manufacturers needing controlled small-batch panning. The stainless steel food-contact surfaces and accessible rotary pan support routine production cleaning and recipe changeovers when operated and maintained according to the machine instructions.
Optional equipment is not included unless specified in your quotation. Automatic spraying systems, external cooling stations, holding tanks, specialized pan configurations, protective enclosures and other line upgrades are separate options. Ask our team about compatibility and availability for your production setup.
For chocolate applications, prepare the chocolate using an appropriate upstream process before coating your centers. Explore our 5.5L commercial chocolate tempering machine if you also need small-batch chocolate preparation, or browse our commercial chocolate equipment collection for related production machinery.
We ship commercial equipment to Canada, with freight quoted separately according to the delivery location. Please provide your province, postal code and receiving arrangements so we can calculate shipping and any extra carrier services.
Import duties, taxes and customs clearance are handled according to the agreed terms. The machine ships in a wooden crate; its provisional packed weight is 243 lb (110 kg), subject to confirmation with the final electrical configuration and crate measurements.
COMMERCIAL CHOCOLATE EQUIPMENT
Technical operating specifications for the 400mm coating pan. Final configuration is confirmed before shipment.
Rotary coating uses controlled tumbling and air management to build and finish confectionery coatings.
Load compatible centers and set the pan angle and rotation speed for the batch.
Apply coatings as the pan turns, using the air system to manage the process.
Reach the required surface finish, then adjust the pan for unloading and cleanup.
Answers to common production and equipment planning questions.
Yes. This configuration includes integrated hot-air heating and cooling delivered through the pan air duct. External cooling equipment is not required to supply the included basic heating and cooling functions.
Typical applications include chocolate-coated nuts, dragées, confectionery balls, dried fruit pieces and other suitably sized centers. The drum also supports sugar coating, powder finishing and polishing workflows when the correct materials and process are used.
The 400mm pan is rated for approximately 6.6–15.4 lb (3–7 kg) per batch. Practical load depends on the size, weight and shape of the centers and the chosen coating method.
No. A coating pan builds and finishes coatings on prepared centers. Chocolate preparation and tempering, when needed, are separate upstream steps.
No automatic spraying equipment, holding tank or standalone refrigeration accessory is included unless specifically listed in the accepted equipment quotation. Ask our team about optional configurations.
Yes. The drum is rated for 23–46 RPM with variable-speed control, and the pan uses manual tilt adjustment for positioning and discharge.
We confirm the electrical configuration and the final assembled dimensions for the integrated heating/cooling machine before order acceptance. Please tell us your available supply voltage, phase and installation space.
Free standard LTL freight is included for eligible commercial delivery addresses in the contiguous 48 United States. Residential, liftgate, limited-access or other non-standard freight services may incur additional carrier charges.
Yes. Freight outside the contiguous 48 states is quoted separately and paid by the customer. Contact our equipment team for a destination-specific shipping quotation before ordering.
The machine is packed in a wooden crate. Final packed dimensions, gross weight, delivery service and any liftgate or special-access charges are confirmed for your destination before order acceptance.
Unused and uninstalled equipment may be returned within 14 days of delivery with prior authorization. Equipment must be in new, resalable condition and returned in its original packaging or shipping crate. Customer is responsible for return freight. Original outbound freight and carrier accessorial charges may be deducted from the refund. Equipment that has been installed, used, damaged after delivery, or returned without required packaging or components is not eligible for return. Incorrect items and verified shipping or manufacturing issues are handled separately.
