Chocolate Decorating Machine Equipment Manufacturers
Suzhou Golden Eagle Machinery & Equipment Co., Ltd. is a professional Chocolate Decorating Machine Equipment Manufacturer based in China. With nearly 30 years in chocolate equipment production, we design and build decorating machines that add precise zigzag and stripe patterns to confectionery surfaces. Our QLH series is engineered for reliable operation on production lines where consistent pattern quality and easy cleaning are essential.
We supply the full decorating machine range, from compact 400 mm models to wide 1200 mm units, each configured around your product dimensions, line speed, and pattern requirements. As a direct factory, we control machining, assembly, and testing, ensuring that every machine leaves our workshop ready for integration.
Our Product Range: QLH Automatic Chocolate Decorating Machine
The QLH series is our dedicated decorating solution, available in four working widths to match common conveyor and moulding line sizes. Each model uses a special chocolate delivery pump that maintains a steady flow, while an eccentric gear mechanism adjusts the pattern distance to create different zigzag styles.

All models include a 0.37 kW mass pump for chocolate delivery, a 3 kW water heating system to maintain temperature, and a 0.18 kW decorator drive. The frame is movable, allowing you to position the machine over an existing conveyor or integrate it into a new line.
Application Fit and Process Integration
Decorating machines are typically placed after enrobing or moulding, where the product surface is still slightly tacky. The QLH applies chocolate in a controlled zigzag or stripe pattern, adding visual appeal to biscuits, wafers, pralines, and moulded chocolates. The special delivery pump ensures a steady supply, preventing gaps or uneven lines even at higher line speeds.
We configure the machine based on your product type, conveyor speed, and pattern geometry. For example, a 400 mm unit suits narrow belts with delicate items, while a 1200 mm unit handles wide, high-volume lines. The eccentric gear adjustment lets you change the zigzag amplitude without changing tooling, reducing changeover time between product runs.
Engineering and Customization
Our engineering team can adapt the QLH to your specific requirements. Common modifications include custom nozzle arrays for unique patterns, variable-speed drives to match line speed, and additional heating zones for different chocolate types. We also offer OEM and ODM services, developing machines from your drawings or samples.
As a factory with in-house production, we can adjust the machine’s height, conveyor interface, and control panel position to fit your existing layout. We provide technical drawings and installation guidance before shipment, ensuring your team can prepare the necessary utilities and space.
Quality Assurance and Compliance
We hold ISO9001 quality certification and CE certification for the European market. Each decorating machine undergoes inspection at every production stage, with a final functional test before packing. We provide an inspection certificate with the machine, confirming that it meets the agreed specifications.
Our quality system covers material selection, machining tolerances, and electrical safety. The machine’s food-contact parts are made from stainless steel and food-grade materials, designed for hygienic cleaning. We also offer documentation for compliance with relevant food safety standards, supporting your own quality audits.
Installation, Maintenance, and Support
We provide installation instructions and, for larger projects, can arrange on-site commissioning by our engineers. The QLH is designed for easy operation, with automatic nozzle cleaning to reduce downtime. Routine maintenance focuses on the pump and heating system, and we supply spare parts from stock.
Our after-sales team can assist with troubleshooting via video or phone, and we offer training materials for operators. For ongoing support, we maintain a parts inventory and can ship replacements quickly to minimize production interruptions.
Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
To prepare a precise quotation and layout, we need the following project details:
- Product type and dimensions (e.g., biscuit, wafer, praline)
- Conveyor width and line speed (pieces per minute)
- Desired pattern (zigzag amplitude, stripe width, number of lines)
- Chocolate type (dark, milk, white, compound) and viscosity
- Available space and utilities (power supply, water heating)
- Integration with existing enrobing or moulding line
With this information, we can recommend the appropriate QLH model, configure the nozzle system, and provide a detailed proposal including installation and commissioning support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What patterns can the QLH decorating machine produce?
The QLH can produce zigzag and stripe patterns. By adjusting the eccentric gear, you can change the distance between zigzags, creating different visual effects. The nozzle system can be customized for additional patterns.
Q2: Can the machine be integrated into an existing production line?
Yes, the QLH is movable and can be positioned over an existing conveyor. We can adjust the machine’s height and control interface to match your line. For new lines, we can integrate it with our enrobing and moulding equipment.
Q3: What chocolate types can be used?
The machine works with tempered chocolate and compound coatings that have suitable flow properties. The water heating system maintains the chocolate temperature, and the pump is designed for steady delivery. We can advise on viscosity adjustments for your specific recipe.
Q4: How do you ensure the machine is safe and hygienic?
Food-contact parts are stainless steel and easy to clean. The machine includes automatic nozzle cleaning to prevent blockages. We follow ISO9001 quality procedures and CE safety standards, and we provide documentation for your compliance needs.
Q5: What is the lead time and delivery process?
Lead time depends on the model and customization level. We typically ship by sea from Shanghai port, and we can arrange air freight for urgent orders. We provide photos and videos before shipment, and we pack the machine securely for export.
