This project will produce a machine for low cost, high throughput and continuous inline tempering of chocolate; the first such unit within this global industry. It would save around 1.5 MJ of energy per kg of chocolate produced. Given that 600,000 tonnes of chocolate are eaten every year in the UK (10 kg per person per year), this would amount to a saving of nearly a TJ (tera Joule or a million million Joules) per annum. Its impact would revolutionise chocolate processing. The unit has application beyond confectionery and foodstuffs and in all commercial scale chocolate processing sectors.

该项目将生产一台低成本、高产量和连续在线回火巧克力的机器;这是该全球行业中的第一台此类设备。每生产一公斤巧克力，可节省约1.5兆焦耳的能源。考虑到英国每年吃掉60万吨巧克力（每人每年10公斤），这相当于每年节省近1 TJ（兆焦耳或百万焦耳）。它的影响将彻底改变巧克力加工。该设备的应用范围不仅限于糖果和食品，还包括所有商业规模的巧克力加工行业。
