Enhancing Sweet Success in the Confectionery Industry

Chocolate and candy manufacturing is a $50 billion annual industry in the U.S., with facilities nationwide working around the clock to satisfy the nation’s sweet tooth. While the end products delight consumers, the process of creating and packaging confections requires sophisticated systems to ensure efficiency, quality, and safety.

Motion Conveyance Solutions offers advanced belting and conveyor products to support chocolate and candy manufacturers. These products enable smooth operations from raw ingredients to finished goods. With a broad range of food-grade belting options and tailored solutions for every stage of production, we help confectionery facilities meet the demands of this thriving market.

Meeting the Demands of the Chocolate Industry

The U.S. is home to approximately 1,300 chocolate and cocoa production facilities. With the nation consuming roughly 120 chocolate bars per person annually, efficient production is essential. From cooling tunnels to packaging lines, conveyor belts are the backbone of these operations.

Motion Conveyance Solutions’ belts are designed to handle the unique challenges of chocolate and candy manufacturing. For example, our urethane and silicone belts ensure that sticky substances like melted chocolate don’t adhere to the belt surface, maintaining product integrity and reducing waste.
