DetachLog

DetachLog technology is the fruit of 15 years of research at ETH Zurich.
It is based on a patented ultrasound damping measurement.

HOW DOES IT WORK

Measurement of the ultrasound signal between the mould surface and the chocolate mass
The ultrasound attenuation through the cooling process allows for a highly accurate indicator of chocolate structuring
KEY BENEFITS
Optimised chocolate quality
Maximum surface gloss, no cooling spots, no surface defects, improved fat bloom resistance, optimised crystallisation
Maximum efficiency
Optimised cooling time, maximum production throughput, energy savings, facilitated mold management
Already tested and adopted by renowned chocolate manufacturers
Now it's your turn to get convinced !
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
Ultra Sound attenuation spectroscopy
To dive deep into the internal structuring dynamics of the chocolate during the cooling phase and ensure precise control over structure formation.
In-mold tempercurve measurement
By capturing and analysing temperature at various locations and depths within the mold, DetachLog achieves unparalleled accuracy in monitoring and adjusting the cooling process.
Mold tracking throughout the cooling phase
Integrated accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer enable monitoring and control of the movement and location of the mold and ensure flawless chocolate demolding.
Intelligent mold even for filled products
The ultra-sound and temperature sensors are integrated in the mold and enable real-time monitoring of critical parameters during the chocolate cooling even for filled products.

Molding
Our expertly designed measuring i-molds, equipped with innovative features such as Ultra Sound Attenuation Spectroscopy (USAS) and Authentic Tempercurve Measurement (ATM), guarantee adjustability of precise crystallization, crystal network formation, solidification, volume contraction and detachment monitoring as pre-requisites for seamless demolding of every chocolate piece. CHoNova's commitment to quality begins at the very foundation of the tempering and molding process.

Cooling
Experience the art of cooling redefined.
CHoNova creates the conditions for optimizing the cooling conditions for your chocolate product, taking into account the specifics of the recipe, mold and cooling tunnel type in order to achieve the best product quality. Our measurement results can also be used to derive adjustment suggestions for your cooling tunnels and design suggestions for new cooling tunnel design. Our commitment to optimal energy efficiency ensures the targeted interaction of product, mold and cooling tunnel to minimize cooling energy consumption while ensuring optimal product quality.

Demolding
You can also experience simplified, residue-free demoulding which CHoNova's introduced intelligent in-line measuring solution “DetachLog" aims for. With this we eliminate glossy surface damage as well as material residues in the mold and material losses.This in turn means subsequent avoidance of extended mold cleaning and mold rewarming, thus contributing to improve energy efficiency, and overall setting a new standard of demolding excellence.
