SELMI & THE PASSION FOR CHOCOLATE

There are companies that manufacture and companies that create and set trends

It's the ones that raise admiration and have a tendency to be copied, and yet they do not hide their secrets, because, by the time the market has caught up with them, they are already far ahead.

Selmi not only creates technology tailored to the customer, but even makes it user friendly. That is to say practical, flexible, easy to use, durable and aesthetically pleasing.

This is the brilliance that sets it apart: by putting its technology and ideas at the disposal of professionals in this field it creates and steers the market.

Since the sixties, Selmi has been a point of reference for machines and equipment for processing chocolate in all its forms: pralines, bars, truffles, chocolate snacks, bean to bar chocolate, chocolate dragées, artisanal spreadable creams and much more

The company's brand-new headquarters in Bra, spreading over 20,000 square metres, is a place that expresses how strong and deep-rooted the 'chocolate culture' is in our company and what passion animates the management and the entire staff.

la famigli Selmi, da 60 anni in attività

THE SELMI FAMILY

Selmi chocolate machinery. One family, a story of professional ethics, passion for chocolate, sacrifice and the search for technological quality. Fundamentals for each and every company decision since 1965.

With nearly 60 years of operational activity, SELMI Chocolate Machinery designs and builds machines for the processing of chocolate, roasters for dried nuts, cocoa beans and coffee.

A profession that binds a family for three generations.

Renato Selmi, a man with exceptional ideas, founder and current company chairman, began in 1965 with the manufacturing of machines for processing hazelnuts, then progressing to machinery and equipment for the processing of chocolate, an area in which he will specialise.

Paolo Selmi, CEO, a man of character, ambition, tenacity, practicality and with great entrepreneurial and commercial skills.
In 1987 he joins his father in the company and since that moment the combination of technology, understanding of the raw material and a constant search for efficiency and perfection, have raised the company to be at the forefront of the market at a national and international level for the production of machinery for the processing of artisanal chocolate and for the roasting of coffee, dried nuts and cocoa.

Just under two years ago both of Paolo Selmi's children, Martina and Alberto, joined the company.
Wisely guided by their father, they open the doors to the future and to the realization of new projects.

PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

Success requires preparation

Selmi has for some time been accompanying its core business with the provision of professional training courses: chocolate and coffee courses to pass on the processing knowledge and techniques to professionals in the sector who have the desire to improve their own competence, which often concerns very specific and targeted processing requirements.

Selmi's workshop at the newly built headquarters has an area of 5,000 square metres and is staffed with 6 chocolate chefs.

Every day the chocolate chefs dedicate their time to personalised research and development, upon the specific requests of each client and participant to the ONE to ONE courses, of new and innovative chocolate products.

Selmi offers personalised "ONE TO ONE" consultancy for its clients with the company chefs for periods of one, two, three or five days.

Through this service, the company offers the possibility to see its machines and accessories in action as they temper, process and transform chocolate. It gives the opportunity to personally experiment the functionality and bring to light the high performance and to touch with one's own hands the efficiency, reliability and the possibility to create a variety of products according to the productive requirements of each client.

The harmony between innovation and passion is what makes Selmi an undisputed point of reference in the field of chocolate production. Our training offer is directed to both Italian and foreign users as the courses are taught in Italian, English, French and Spanish.

Professional chocolate tempering machines

Professional chocolate tempering machines

Designed to melt and temper chocolate on a continuous cycle. Their main objective is to crystallize and quickly temper to the right point the cocoa butter contained within the chocolate. It is in fact thanks to the tempering of the chocolate that a perfectly finished product can be obtained, with a shiny, polished and crunchy glaze. Available in different production capabilities, the seven models in Selmi's range are equipped with a volumetric dispenser with pedal to control the flow of chocolate and with a low voltage vibrating, heated platform.

The new EX GENERATION models allow the operator to directly insert added ingredients, such as dried nut granules and seeds, whilst the tempered chocolate in the tank is in a continuous cycle. These models allow for the easy removal of the screw pump inside the tempering machine so that the inside of the machine can be quickly washed. This is also ideal for those who wish to frequently change the type of chocolate used: dark, milk or white.

EX®: made in Italy, this is the most efficient and cleanest technology on the market

The machine produces products such as pralines in polycarbonate moulds, bars and neapolitans by simultaneously creating the outer chocolate shell, the internal ganache and sealing of the product.

It is also possible, through the use of the Oneshot chocolate depositor from Selmi Chocolate Machinery, to fill macarons with previously made ganache of various flavours and aromas.

The Oneshot Tuttuno line, equipped with accessories such as the automatic mould loader and the VIBRA mould vibration station system, has high performance and productivity thanks to its attachment to the vertical cooling tunnel SPIDER and to the AUTOMATIC DEMOULDER.

These machines are equipped with a loading hopper for the added ingredients and need to be connected to a tempering machine for the supply of tempered chocolate. They have the option to be used in automatic or manual mode.

Available in two versions to satisfy the needs of all workshop types. The CLUSTER TRAY version, where the product is dispensed onto steel trays and the product is cooled in a fridge with controlled humidity, or the CLUSTER TUNNEL version where the products are filled directly onto the chocolate cooling and enrobing tunnel belt.
