Compact Temperer Reduces Energy Consumption

Lloveras has developed a chocolate tempering machine which it says can reduce energy consumption by up to 30% on standard tempering equipment.

The Spanish machinery manufacturer said its AAVC temperer has a pre-cooling tank of 200l with an agitator from which the feeding pump delivers the product into the tempering unit itself.

The reduced scale of the unit enables a reduction in heating requirements but does not impact on output, Barcelona-based Lloveras said

AAVC also allows chocolate makers to switch from milk chocolate to dark chocolate with 30 to 40min downtime involved.

The new temperer enables the chocolate producers with a de-seeder to allow decrystallization of the returning mass, the company said.
