What is chocolate tempering?

Chocolate tempering is a process of heating and cooling chocolate to specific temperatures to achieve stable cocoa butter crystals, resulting in a smooth, glossy finish and a firm snap.

Why is tempering important for chocolate production?

Proper tempering prevents bloom (white streaks), ensures a good texture, improves shelf life, and allows chocolate to contract cleanly from moulds.

What types of chocolate can be tempered in this machine?

Machines of this type are generally suitable for tempering all common types of chocolate, including dark, milk, and white chocolate, each requiring specific temperature curves.

What maintenance is typically required for a chocolate tempering machine?

Regular cleaning of the bowl and auger, calibration checks of temperature sensors, and periodic inspection of electrical components are typically required. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual.

Does this machine include a moulding function?

While the machine tempers chocolate, the description indicates it is a 'chocolate tempering moulding machine', suggesting it is designed to facilitate the moulding process, often alongside a vibratory table.
