Features On Chocolate Tempering Equipment

Here at TCF Sales, we have a lot of different gear for manufacturing and production companies that want to turn out the best high quality products.

For instance, let's talk about chocolate. As a premier food service and food production ingredient, chocolate is sometimes difficult to work with. You need the right kinds of tools and resources to manufacture chocolate products the right way. Experienced managers know this as a matter of, well, experience. Other people might not think about it as much when they're trying to set up some theoretical business, or sourcing equipment for someone else’s business, but when you’re working with chocolate, technique matters.

What about the rich texture of a chocolate product? How do you get that creamy, gooey goodness into every bite? Well, there are advanced techniques and equipment behind these kinds of results, as experienced people know.

In any case, we have modern chocolate tempering equipment that helps to change the temperature of the material in ways that promote great production results.

Here are some of the specs and features that people look for with modern chocolate tempering equipment. Think about how these advanced capabilities will help you to produce excellence.

Capacity

Traditionally, automatic chocolate tempering machines come from Europe so chocolate tank capacity is measured in kilograms that can be converted to pounds: for example, a model with a 25 kg capacity would contain ~55 pounds respectively. Customers will find numerous sizes to best meet their needs.

Whatever the size of the tank though, customers can increase their daily output of tempered chocolate by 2 or 3 times the tank size by slowly adding melted chocolate to the tank during production. This allows the machine to produce a greater amount of tempered chocolate without having to stop production when the tank becomes low. Chocolate can be manually poured into the tank, or it can be fed into the tank from a chocolate melter via a heated pipe. Capacity is an indicator of what can be accomplished in one day or over some other time frame. It’s going to be an important number to plug into batch production, so be sure you get the size and accompanying equipment that best accommodates your process.

Display Features

Modern display features help tell everyone what's going on inside of the machine and contribute to a smarter production environment. Take a look at some of the advanced reporting that you can get right on the front of your machine.

Removable Parts

Removable parts help with cleaning and versatility for chocolate tempering machines. Modern machines with bowls and baffles that can be removed will provide much more efficiency on the line day in and day out.

Reversible Auger

A reversible auger is helpful for emptying the machine fully, which can also introduce efficiencies. One way to think about this is in the context of business process optimization – you may be getting the best production, but are you getting the best material capture at the end of the process?

Vibrating Table

Being able to hook up a chocolate tempering machine to a vibrating table will help to get rid of troublesome air bubbles. New models have these sorts of advanced handling features built in.

These are just some of the key features on the models that we sell: turn to TCF Sales for what you need for your busy production environment!
