Panning Machine 3 & 9 litres

One machine, two interchangeable drums

The KADZAMA Chocolate Panning Machine gives you two batch sizes in one compact setup. It includes one motor base and two interchangeable stainless-steel drums: a 3-litre drum for small batches and a 9-litre drum for regular production.

Use it to coat nuts, dried fruit, coffee beans, seeds, cereals and other centres with chocolate or glaze. Continuous rotation helps distribute the coating evenly and build a consistent finish.

Both drums are included. This means you can test a recipe, produce samples and move to larger batches without purchasing a second machine.

Choose the right drum for each batch

Product load by drum size

The recommended load depends on the size, shape and density of the product being coated. The figures below show the approximate product load per batch before coating.

Loads are approximate and may vary depending on the dimensions, density and shape of the product, as well as the coating process.

3-litre drum for recipe development and small runs

The 3-litre drum has a recommended product load of up to approximately 2 kg. It is well suited to recipe development, ingredient testing, product samples, limited editions and small production runs.

Working with a smaller drum also helps reduce the amount of ingredients required during development, which is particularly useful when testing expensive nuts, chocolate or inclusions.

9-litre drum for regular production

The 9-litre drum has a recommended product load of up to approximately 5 kg. Use it for repeat production of established recipes, including chocolate-coated nuts, dried fruit, coffee beans and other dragees.

Once a product has been developed in the smaller drum, you can transfer the process to the 9-litre drum using the same motor base.

Flexible production from one compact setup

The interchangeable drum system allows you to match the equipment to the batch you need on the day. It is a practical solution for chocolatiers, confectioners, bean-to-bar makers, pastry shops and small production workshops.

With this configuration, you can:

• develop and test recipes using smaller quantities;
• produce samples, seasonal products and limited editions;
• make regular batches of established products;
• change batch size without adding another machine;
• make better use of ingredients and production space.

How the panning process works

1. Select the 3-litre or 9-litre drum and install it on the motor base.
2. Load the centres, such as nuts, dried fruit, coffee beans or seeds.
3. Start the rotation and gradually add chocolate or glaze.
4. Allow the continuous movement to distribute the coating and build up an even layer.

When your batch requirements change, simply replace one drum with the other.

What is included

• one KADZAMA motor base;
• one 3-litre stainless-steel drum;
• one 9-litre stainless-steel drum.

The recommended loads of approximately 2 kg and 5 kg may vary depending on the size, shape and density of the product, as well as the coating process.
