McCarter Chocolate Equipment

Welcome to McCarter Chocolate Equipment – A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Quality

When chocolate processing systems fall out of tolerance, the impact shows up fast: product inconsistency, wasted batches, and production slowdowns. 

At McCarter Chocolate Equipment, a division of Schmidt Industrial Services, we design and manufacture chocolate processing equipment built for reliability, control, and repeatable performance. From chocolate mixing tanks to dry batch conche mixers and vertical chocolate storage tanks, our systems are engineered to keep production consistent, efficient, and running without interruption.

Chocolate Equipment Built for Performance

Chocolate Mixing Tanks: Our chocolate mixing tanks are engineered for uniform blending and precise control across production cycles. The horizontal “U” shaped design allows for consistent mixing while minimizing buildup and uneven distribution. These systems are critical for maintaining product quality and ensuring downstream processing remains stable and efficient.

Vertical Chocolate Storage Tanks: We fabricate vertical chocolate storage tanks designed for safe, efficient bulk storage and integration into processing lines. Built from carbon steel or stainless steel, these tanks maintain product integrity while supporting continuous production flow. Reliable storage systems reduce material waste and keep operations moving without interruption.

Dry Batch Conche Mixers: Our dry batch conche mixers are designed to refine chocolate to exact specifications, delivering smooth texture and consistent quality. Conching is a critical stage in chocolate production, and our systems are built to handle continuous use while maintaining precise control. Consistent conching performance directly impacts final product quality and customer satisfaction.

Custom Confectionery Equipment: We provide fully custom confectionery equipment tailored to your process requirements. With in-house design, engineering, and fabrication, McCarter builds systems that integrate seamlessly into existing production lines. Whether modifying equipment or building new systems, we deliver solutions that match your exact operational needs.

Repair Kits & Replacement Components:
We supply replacement motors, shafts, bearings, drives, and sealing systems to support ongoing equipment performance. Instead of replacing entire systems, facilities can extend the life of their chocolate equipment through targeted component upgrades. This helps reduce downtime and maintain consistent production output.
