Frequently asked questions
Here you will find all the information you need about our 3D food printers. If you need personal advice or an offer, please feel free to contact us .
Using your own chocolate and food
With the following models you can work with your own tempered chocolate and make individual settings:
- Procusini mini
- Procusini Single 3D chocolate printer
- Procusini Performance Stack 3D chocolate printer
- Procusini Research
Alternatively, you have the option of working with Procusini 3D Choco Refills, see “Procusini 3D Choco Refills”.
A special feature of Procusini Research is that you can also use it to use other pasty foods of their choice, such as: dough and vegetable puree.
To be suitable for 3D chocolate printing, the chocolate should have the following properties:
Choose a highly viscous chocolate. We recommend dark chocolate or milk chocolate with a fat content of between 28% and a maximum of 39% and a cocoa content of at least 30%.
Alternatively, you have the option of working with Procusini 3D Choco Refills, see “Procusini 3D Choco Refills”.
With the Procusini Research you can print your own pasty foods, such as: Doughs. To do this, you can make individual settings for all relevant parameters such as: temperature, speed and flow rate.
Different nozzle diameters are also available for the Procusini Research.
The food needs a pasty, homogeneous and stable consistency so that it can be extruded and retain its shape even after printing.
The particle size should definitely be matched to the selected nozzle diameter. To avoid clogging of the nozzle, the maximum particle size should always be smaller than the selected nozzle diameter.
Procusini 3D refills
Procusini 3D Choco Refills or Procusini mini 3D Choco Refills are “chocolate bars” made from a high-quality fat glaze.
Procusini 3D Choco Refills are specially tailored to the Procusini models and deliver the best possible results. There is no need for complicated temperature control. Simply insert a 3D Choco Refill into the respective Procusini model, preheat briefly and off you go.
Ideal for all applications where simple and quick processing is more important than using your own chocolate.
Chocolate must be properly tempered before use. This requires experience in processing chocolate.
If you do not have this expertise or would like to avoid the hassle of tempering chocolate, we recommend using the Procusini 3D Choco Refills. These can be inserted directly into the Procusini. After a short automatic preheating you can start.
The yield depends on the size selected and the height of the individual object. By adjusting the object size and height, you have the opportunity to individually optimize the yield.
The yield also depends on the Procusini model chosen. A cartridge filling of the Procusini mini is significantly smaller than that of the other Procusini models.
Procusini mini :
With one cartridge filling, for example, up to 10-12 letterings can be printed (the cartridge volume of the Procusini mini is smaller than that of the other Procusini).
Procusini Single and Procusini Single Research :
For example, up to 30 letterings can be printed with one cartridge filling.
- 3D Choco Dark tastes like dark chocolate and real vanilla
- 3D Choco Milk tastes like milk chocolate, slightly sweeter than dark
- 3D Choco White like white chocolate, with a strong sweetness
- The remaining colors taste like 3D Choco White
Ideally, Procusini 3D Refills are stored dark and at a temperature of 15 - 20 °C.
The best before date is up to 2 years depending on the production date.
Procusini Club
In the Procusini Club you have online access to numerous applications and up to 1,000 free templates, which you can also change in size and height yourself.

You don't need any IT knowledge to work in the Procusini Club either.
The Exclusive Small Series application in the Procusini Club enables the production of a larger number of objects.
With one click, the object is reproduced repeatedly until the production area is completely filled. Very simple and efficient! Now press “Start” and the Procusini will produce a large number of objects one after the other. That saves time.
Ideal e.g. for the mise en place of events.
We would be happy to support you with tricky applications. Sometimes all it takes is a little tip to surprise guests with a great creation. Please reach out with application questions club@procusini.com directly to our application specialists.
The Procusini is maintenance-free.
Cleaning a Procusini
Since only 3 components of a Procusini come into contact with the food during production, a Procusini can be cleaned quickly and easily within a few minutes.
