Automatic Kneading Machine

Kneading & Tempering Machine IM.70

First introduced and patented by our company in the 1950s, kneading machines have changed the way of making candy and are still considered a milestone for the candy industry in batch tempering and mixing of high boiled sugar masses.

Robustness and Reliability

Worldwide known for its robustness and reliability, the kneading machine IM.70 allows considerable labour saving and scrap reduction if compared to traditional tempering and mixing on tables. Moreover, it ensures high and consistent quality to the finished product.

How the IM.70 Works

The IM.70 is composed of a water-cooled rotating table on which two powerful water-cooled ploughs fold and knead the sugar mass while the table turns.

The kneading time is editable depending on the product wanted. The cycle is entirely controlled by a PLC.

Capacity and Performance

The IM.70 can handle batches from 40 to 70 kg for a capacity of 750 kg/h (1,650 lbs/hr).

Stand-Alone and Integrated Use

When Automatic Kneading Machine IM.70 is used as a stand-alone unit, a lifting device allows an effortless loading of the batch on the table.

When integrated in a fully automatic line, the IM.70 is equipped with an automatic uploading/downloading device aimed to transfer the kneaded batch to the next processing step without human intervention.
