TB20-2 chocolate tempering machine with two 20 kg tanks for different chocolate types

TB20-2 – Compressor Cooled Temperer

The TB20-2 is a professional chocolate tempering machine designed for producers who need the flexibility to process two different types of chocolate within the same production setup.

With two separate 20 kg tanks, the machine can melt and temper one or two batches while giving the operator full control over all three tempering stages.

Each tank allows independent temperature control during melting and final working temperature. The desired temperatures for melting, cooling and tempered chocolate can be defined and stored, and the three temperature stages are not limited by pre-set values or fixed temperature differences.

During tempering, the total volume of chocolate in each tank reaches a uniform temperature at every stage before the next stage begins.

The machine can be used for both melting and tempering from start to finish, or for tempering only. When filled with pre-melted chocolate at a minimum of 45°C, 20 kg of tempered chocolate can be ready approximately every 30 minutes.

If you require a single-tank solution for smaller batch production, see the TB20-1 chocolate tempering machine.

Highlights:

  • Two separate 20 kg tanks for flexible batch production
  • Full control of all three tempering stages (melting, cooling and working temperature)
  • Independent temperature control for melting and final working temperature in each tank
  • Individually defined and storable temperature settings
  • Uniform temperature throughout each 20 kg batch
  • Integrated compressor cooling
  • Can be used for both melting and tempering, or tempering only
  • PLC-controlled interface for process management
  • Stainless steel construction for hygienic and easy cleaning

How it works: Independent temperature control in two tempering tanks

The TB20-2 manages tempering through three temperature stages: melting, cooling and tempered chocolate.

The two 20 kg tanks allow temperature settings to be defined and stored for each stage. Independent temperature control during melting and working temperature enables flexible processing of different chocolate types.

Frequently asked questions about the TB20-2

Can the TB20-2 process two different types of chocolate?

Yes. The TB20-2 features two 20 kg tanks with independent temperature control during melting and working temperature, allowing producers to process different chocolate types within the same machine.

Is the TB20-2 suitable for professional chocolate production?

The TB20-2 is designed for professional production environments that require flexible batch tempering and the ability to handle multiple chocolate types.

Can the TB20-2 be used for both melting and tempering?

Yes. The TB20-2 can manage the complete tempering cycle from melting to working temperature. It can also be used for tempering pre-melted chocolate.

How does the TB20-2 control the tempering process?

The machine manages melting, cooling and final working temperature through programmable temperature settings in each tank. The three tempering stages can be defined and stored according to production needs.

What is the difference between the TB20-1 and the TB20-2?

The TB20-1 is designed for single 20 kg batch tempering. The TB20-2 features two separate 20 kg tanks, allowing flexible processing of one or two batches and different chocolate types within the same setup.

Product details

TB20-2 is based on the experiences from previous models within the 6T range of similar kind of melting and tempering machines – and then supported by new technology. The outside stainless steel surface makes it very easy for the operator to keep the entire tempering machine in a clean and nice condition.

The tempering machine is controlled by a PLC, and this technology offer you the following features:

  • The entire machine is controlled from the touch panel, which has a graphics that intuitively guides the operator through the options available.
  • The temperatures in the tempering process are set by the operator, and each temperature is independent from other temperatures. The operator can bring temperatures close to the limits of the standard recommendation – and further if required.
  • In total 6 combinations of tempering temperatures can be stored – 3 for each tank. This ensures the same tempering result tank after tank – day after day.
  • The machine can be programmed to start tempering at a pre-defined time. It means that well tempered chocolate can be available at any time: In the morning when the staff turns in – after lunch hour – or at any other pre defined time.
  • The temperature progress during the tempering process can be visualized for later inspection.
  • The machine has a smooth stainless steel surface for easy cleaning, and the agitator can be lifted up from the tank without using of any kind of tools.
