How does a chocolate warming cabinet work?
Fan-assisted heating circulates warm air around the containers: the chocolate melts gently, then stays at the chosen temperature until it is used.
Loading
1. Filling
The chocolate is divided among the gastronorm containers supplied, which slide onto the rails of the cabinet.
Warm air
2. Melting
The fan-assisted heating melts the chocolate evenly, at the temperature set on the controller.
Ready
3. Holding
The chocolate stays melted, at temperature: just take out a container to feed your tempering machine.
