New chocolate machine

I’m fascinated by the craft of chocolate and while doing my job, I was able to see behind the scenes of the industrial manufacture of confectionery. At the beginning of this year I decided that smaller companies should also benefit from such machines. We have formed a team with different experiences from different fields with the aim to develop a compact and flexible chocolate machine that meets the requirements of smaller confectioners and chocolatiers. The main purpose of the machine is to support the complex production of filled pralines. The machine can process chocolate and fillings at the same time, due to the exact dosing the chocolate remains on the outside and the filling on the inside, creating a delicious praline with just one go.

This is what I need backing for.

We are currently in the process of building a prototype and testing it. We need to present our prototype and its capability so that the confectioners and chocolatiers can be convinced of our machine and order it. Together with our bank and the BG-OST we found a solution to finance the first orders. But we need your support to bridge the time until we have the orders of our customers.
