Need Opinions on Cooling Fridge or Tunnel


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, Techniques

The Clima is good option when you need to balance throughput with available space. The Clima is not cheap when compared with some DIY solutions, but it requires very little space (comparatively) and it's easy to put molds onto the Clima input belt without having to move from the depositor so in that respect it's quite labor efficient. At roughly 3.5 molds/minute (timing can be adjusted to increase/decrease time in the tunnel based on cavity thickness) the cooling time is about 13 minutes. We have success cooling 100gr bars in molds with 3 cavities at this speed.

You can find a downloadable US/60Hz catalog page here . Pricing may change in January, so prices are guideline only (as it's December 30 and there's no time to place an order before Jan 1).

Prices of equipment from Europe- movement in prices?


Posted in: Allow Me to Introduce Myself

I am thinking of enrobers. I am not far from the starting line in my research and experience with these type of machines.  There seems to be a pattern or perhaps even a consensus that generally European brands (Italian, German) appear to have the better equipment.  I don't know about customer service but I hope that having a US market for their goods would logically require ongoing positive support. If the equipment is of high quality and reliability the good news should be that customer service will not be used as much.  

What equipment is of interest to you traveling in the opposite direction?

Prices of equipment from Europe- movement in prices?


Posted in: Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Being in Europe myself I would be curious to know what machines you are considering worthy of being shipped in comparison to machine being fabricated in the US?  As I am also looking at doing the opposite.

Need Opinions on Cooling Fridge or Tunnel


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, Techniques

Update - we got our temperature under control, still using a makeshift cooling tunnel (covered speed rack, perforated sheet pans, AC unit) with good results. We are producing approx 25 molds at a time, but plan to bump that to 50 as soon as we get our electricity sorted in this building. I'm planning our expansion to another workshop, and getting opinions on machinery - the FBM Clima 50 is looking mighty nice to me. Clay, any thoughts on that?

Prices of equipment from Europe- movement in prices?


Posted in: Allow Me to Introduce Myself

The major change I've seen is that the US$ is now stronger than the €uro. Otherwise, prices are fairly stable. Ocean shipping costs can vary depending on the cost of fuel and differences in cost structures between shipping companies.

I am wondering if prices have come down or show any type of pattern on importing machines applicable to 

our chocolate businesses?  Anyone had recent experiences or observations?  Are there sources one can be confident in to

check this out?
