FD melters
FD melters are designed for heavy-duty use: 150, 250, 350 and 500 kg, and up to 1 tonne for industrial models, always with a single or double tank. Their reinforced insulation keeps the heat in, and the water-jacket option, where water circulates in a closed circuit around the tank, speeds up melting. Like the FDX, they can be connected by piping to the tempering machine or enrober of your choice.

Heavy-duty use · up to 1 tonne
FD melters: fast melting, up to industrial scale
Three reasons to choose an FD melter for intensive production: reinforced insulation, fast melting and capacities that go up to industrial models.
Insulation
Reinforced insulation
A better-insulated tank keeps the heat in: the temperature stays stable, even in intensive production.
Option
Water jacket
Water circulates in a closed circuit around the tank: heat spreads over the whole wall and the chocolate melts faster.
500 kg and 1 t
Industrial models
500 kg and 1 tonne tanks, single or double, to feed your production lines.
Cocoa butter melter · 25 kg blocks
FBDC melter
The FBDC cocoa butter melter melts your 25 kg blocks of cocoa butter directly. Place two standard blocks on the melting grid: the fast-melting tubes, water-jacket heated, melt them in about 1 hour, and the cocoa butter flows into the 150 kg tank. Like our other melters, it can be connected by piping to your installation.

Frequently asked questions
Chocolate melters: your questions
What is a chocolate melter used for?
A chocolate melter melts couvertures and specific masses (compound, cocoa butter…), then stores them and holds them at the desired temperature and consistency. It is used on its own or connected by piping to a tempering machine or an enrober.
Which chocolate melter should you choose?
It all depends on the quantity to melt. FDX melters cover 45 and 100 kg per tank, and FD melters, designed for heavy-duty use, 150, 250, 350 and 500 kg, up to 1 tonne for industrial models. For 25 kg blocks of cocoa butter there is a dedicated melter, the FBDC. To melt and keep chocolate in containers or on trays, see our chocolate warming cabinets.
What is the difference between a single-tank and a double-tank melter?
A double-tank melter combines two independent tanks on one frame: you melt two different chocolates at the same time, each at its own temperature. FDX and FD melters are all available with a single or double tank.
What is the water jacket on FD melters for?
With the water-jacket option, water circulates in a closed circuit around the tank. Heat spreads over the whole wall and the chocolate melts faster. Combined with the reinforced insulation of FD melters, it is suited to heavy-duty use.
How do you melt 25 kg blocks of cocoa butter?
With the FBDC cocoa butter melter: two standard 25 kg blocks are placed on the melting grid, whose tubes are water-jacket heated. The 2 × 25 kg melt in about 1 hour and the cocoa butter flows into the 150 kg tank.
Can a melter be connected to a tempering machine or an enrober?
Yes. All FDX, FD and FBDC melters can be connected to piping, at the length of your choice, to automatically feed the tempering machine or enrober of your choice.
What power supply do FDX melters need?
Single-tank FDX melters run on 230 V single-phase (2,600 W for the FDX 45, 5,200 W for the FDX 100). Double-tank models run on 400 V three-phase (4,600 W for the FDX 45 double, 8,000 W for the FDX 100 double).
