Rapid chocolate and fat melting system

Optimize your confectionery production with an efficient solution designed to rapidly melt large volumes of chocolate, butter, fats, or jams, ensuring seamless integration into continuous, high-speed processing lines.

Rapidly Melts and Mixes Chocolate and Fats

The Quick Melter QM-GRID from Prefamac Chocolate Machines is an engineered solution for high-capacity melting and mixing in chocolate and confectionery production. This equipment employs a heated grid system and double-walled collection tray, capable of melting up to 165 kg of chocolate per hour. It seamlessly integrates into continuous processing lines, optimizing the melting phase of chocolate production. Its ergonomic design facilitates easy loading of large chocolate blocks, while a horizontal agitator ensures homogenous mixing. Constructed from bead-blasted stainless steel, it offers durability and resistance to corrosion. The QM-GRID is suitable for producing chocolate bars, truffles, chocochips, and more, enhancing efficiency in industrial bakeries and confectionery units. Optional features include a chocolate pump and stainless-steel piping for increased versatility and integration.
