Tempering Equipment

Tempering equipment is most commonly used in manufacturing chocolate products as well as bakery products. However, tempering can also be found in the metals industry for processing alloys. The idea behind the tempering process is to heat two or more items to a certain temperature so that they can be blended together easier. Chocolatiers pass the chocolate through a heating cycle and then a cooling tunnel to give their final products a smooth and glossy finish. Tempering machines automate this process, evenly distributing the crystal structure in melted chocolate across the entire production line. Besides enhancing the look and texture of coatings, denser and consistent crystallization also has the benefit of slowing down fat migration in your chocolate-filled products. A vibrating table is an important component for tempering chocolate. First the chocolate mixture goes through a dispenser into the chocolate mould. After which the vibrating table is used to evenly distribute the mixture in the mould so that there are no air bubbles. Thus, creating a smooth and consistent final product.
