Designed to meet shifting demands in chocolate and confectionery production, Swiss technology company Bühler launches CompactMix.

The new solution combines mixing and grinding technologies that deliver precision fineness, consistent quality, flexible production capacity, and high energy efficiency. From soft praline centers to coatings for snack bars and ice cream, CompactMix enables efficient manufacturing of confectionery masses for spreads, fillings, and various other applications, while ensuring consistent high quality.

The CompactMix system responds to several pressing industry challenges. With ongoing price volatility in cocoa markets, manufacturers are increasingly turning to chocolate alternatives that allow for a greater variety of formulations without compromising taste and quality. The global increase in demand for on-the-go products, such as filled biscuits, wafers, and snack bars, also requires production systems that offer the flexibility to handle a wide variety of recipes.

One system, endless possibilities

CompactMix brings together the proven ShearMix mixing system with a spiral agitator for fast, uniform mixing, and the Aurora ball mill to reduce particle size. This combination ensures optimal mixing and refining performance, forming the basis for CompactMix’s exceptional product consistency. The system delivers uniform textures with particle sizes below 20 microns, resulting in a smooth mouthfeel.
