- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, continuous tempering machines commonly offer throughputs ranging from 20 kg/h to 50 kg/h, with a bowl capacity typically around 40-50 kg.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying based on heating and cooling elements.
- Footprint
- A continuous tempering machine with a vibrating table and enrobing belt (Magic Carpet) will require a significant operational footprint, typically over 2.5 metres in length and 1 metre in width.
- Temperature control
- These machines feature precise electronic temperature control systems, often with multiple heating zones for melting, tempering, and holding.
- Material construction
- Components in contact with chocolate are typically made from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.
- Cooling system
- Integrated refrigeration systems are standard for efficient and consistent chocolate tempering.
