Tank transport of chocolate and cocoa
The transport of cocoa mass and cocoa butter requires expertise. These products must be transported under the best possible conditions to maintain their quality. Wemmers specialises in tank transport of liquid cocoa mass and cocoa butter throughout Europe.

Cocoa and chocolate are temperature-sensitive products. Depending on the product, the ideal transport temperature is between 40 and 50°C. Our tank trailers can be heated to ensure that chocolate and cocoa are transported at precisely the right temperature.
Our specialist drivers constantly monitor the temperature during loading, transport and unloading. This gives our clients the guarantee that cocoa mass and cocoa butter are transported in the optimal conditions in our insulated tank trailers to maintain quality.
