Chocolate pumps
Steimel chocolate pumps are used in machines and systems for processing and manufacturing chocolate. They can be installed in stationary and mobile tank systems or storage and melting containers for chocolate. Depending on the design, products containing fruit or grains can be conveyed gently. The pumps are also suitable as feed pumps in chocolate coating machines and as process pumps for the production of cosmetic creams, oils and lotions.

Areas of application
Steimel chocolate pumps are used for a wide variety of applications. Here you will find a list of the different applications.
Chocolate production & processing
Steimel chocolate pumps enable gentle yet efficient conveyance of liquid chocolate at all stages of production. They ensure a continuous product flow without any loss of quality – ideal for use in conches, mixing plants and chocolate dosing stations.
Coating & finishing
Precise control and constant flow rates are crucial for evenly coating pralines, bars or pastries with chocolate. Steimel pumps ensure homogeneous product distribution, thereby supporting high-quality finishing processes in automated coating lines.
Mixing & Tempering
When tempering chocolate, precise temperature control and continuous movement are crucial for shine, texture and breakage behaviour. Steimel pumps contribute to stabilising the crystal structure through uniform circulation and ensure consistent quality of the end products.
Dosage & filling
Steimel pumps enable high-precision and hygienic dosing of liquid chocolate into moulds, cups or packaging. Their precise controllability makes them ideal for highly automated filling processes and guarantees reproducible results with every batch.
