New Chocolate Processing Line for Olympic Foods

8 Aug 2025  |
VRAYKOS has successfully completed another project in the food industry sector, designing and installing a fully customized raw material melting system for the new chocolate processing unit of Olympic Foods, a company with a strong presence in pastry, ice cream, and frozen food, and a key member of the international SwitzGroup.

The project focused on the melting process of cocoa paste and butter, utilizing two specialized systems engineered for high energy and thermal efficiency: a 900-liter horizontal shaft paste melter capable of melting up to 15 cocoa paste blocks within just 15–20 minutes, and a butter melter with the capacity to process 10 blocks in the same time frame. Both systems maintain steady performance even in high-demand production environments.

These units are supported by an advanced hot water production and circulation system, ensuring optimal thermal transfer and increased overall efficiency. Additionally, a central electronic control panel allows for precise temperature adjustment and consistent processing conditions, guaranteeing product quality.

The solution was developed entirely by VRAYKOS, covering all phases, from engineering and design to construction, installation, and technical support, ensuring optimal functionality, operational safety, and consistent product quality.

This collaboration marks a new chapter for Olympic Foods and SwitzGroup in the Greek market, while further solidifying VRAYKOS’ position as a trusted partner in demanding industrial solutions.
