Frampton - Conveyor Bar Maker 24” Wide

• Producing confectionery bars such as chocolate, nougat, or caramel.
• Forming cereal bars and snack bars from various mixed ingredients.
• Creating fruit and nut bars for health food markets.
• Manufacturing protein bars and energy bars for sports nutrition.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from several hundred to over a thousand bars per minute, depending on bar size and product characteristics.

Power supply

Footprint

A conveyor bar maker of this width typically requires a significant linear space, often several metres in length, plus access for operation and maintenance.

Suitable product consistency

These machines are generally suited for viscous, pliable masses that can be extruded or sheeted and then cut.

Temperature control

Many bar makers incorporate or require upstream cooling/heating elements to manage product viscosity for optimal forming.

Material of construction

Components in contact with food are typically made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.
