Packaging and Storage

I'm also small times. For most of my packaging needs I use
They are mostly boxes and bags, but will do small order custom.

I tasted Charm School Vegan white chocolate while I was in Seattle recently at the NW chocolate festival. It was actually excellent! And they do wholesale.
Still have a few items for sale!
Hi, is the Rev Delta still available?
Posted in the last 24 hours on Facebook. It's a start. I can only hope that Georg will personally visit everyone else in TRS that he labeled "unconfirmed." In the case of Pacari, I believe he relied in part on "unconfirmed" gossip from unreliable sources and did actually do the necessary work to determine whether the gossip was true.
This machine is still in great condition and fully functional. Included 2 bowls, new baffle, holey baffle $1,600
Skimmer, used 3 times $400
Selling a chocovision X3210 which has recently been serviced and is running well. Comes with extra baffle. Selling a spectra 11 with speed controller and transformer. We have been using this for test batches and it is a tank. Upgraded to a fibre belt. I'm located in Toronto, and would prefer pickup. If you want it shipped please contact me and we can work it out. Selling together for $800 CAD

Hello,
My name is Chaus Davids and I work for a company called Kocotek. As you can guess from our name, we specialize in supplying equipment to the cocoa/chocolate industry.
Over the past several years, we've started representing a company called JAF Inox that makes high-quality, bean-to-bar chocolate machinery geared toward artisan/craft chocolatiers. Our smallest lines begin at a capacity of around 10 kg/h while our larger lines can produce over 200 kg/h.
If you're interested in learning more about what we have to offer, please feel free to contact me at the e-mail listed below. As well, I invite you to take a look at this video which shows one of our 60 kg/h lines, currently in operation.
Thank you,

Is your Hilliard Little Dipper still for sale?
Martin - Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure
The commercial product I found was vile....my Vegan customers seem very happy with this one and so do I! Tastes pretty good actually 
To do what? JML colloid mills are really inexpensive, and can work very, very well for making liquor out of nibs if that's the intent. You'll need to clean the living daylights out of it before your first use, and will want to have a hot water loop jacketing it. They can be found from many sources.
I am looking for a used or new colloidal mill! Contact me please
Just now sent an email to all three of you.
Interested in the Crankandstein also. Located in California. moore.deanna@gmail.com

They're just too small for me. $20 each plus shipping or take all 16 for $320 and I'll pay shipping.
I have some used equipment I am looking to sell and some new equipment I sell. Please send me an email to erin at indi chocolate dot com (spelled out to avoid scam and spam, please no spam) and we can see what will be most interesting/helpful for you. Thanks

Hi all - I was going to make a new thread on this but decided to revive this one instead...seems to make more sense.
I am a relatively new chocolatier in the UK - I make my own chocolate (for bars and some of the molded chocs) and I've just started doing a vegan filled chocolate line. I have to say I'm apalled at the quality (or lack thereof) of vegan chocolates....just wow. I found an acceptable vegan milk chocolate made by Plamil foods in the UK; but the white chocolate was awful. They make it with rice powder and rice syrup in place of teh dairy. It is a nightmare to work with...it forms a crust in the bowl when melting (on the bottom of the bowl and no matter how careful I am with temperature) and sets up slightly sticky. Nice...not.
So I made my own using cocoa butter, sugar (from beets) and coconut milk powder. It does have a coconut flavour but it's not overpowering at all and the chocolate tempers beautifully...had great success moulding shells with it.
The key thing i've found is that most recipes for vegan chocolate do not include a proper grinder like the santha or (in my case) premier tabletop grinder. It is absolutely essential to grind it o get the proper consistency and avoid the graininess. I grind it for about 20 hours - works like a charm.
Anyway....figured I'd share in case anyone else read this and wanted to have a go

Hi Shannon-
I am wondering if you ever got an answer to your post- I, too, am in need of an extruder. Would need to get one for thick, firm caramels as well as our very dense macaroon filling.
Thank you so much!

Hello! I was wondering if there are any recommendations for companies/websites that supply packaging? I am currently a recreational chocolate maker (although affiliated with a food industry company). We are looking to produce chocolates to give as gifts to our students/clients. I had a beautiful mold made with my company logo and now I need nice packaging. I am looking for a foil and/or sleeve (similar to the Ghiradelli squares). Any suggestions? Also, I need something to actually store my chocolate in (airtight containers perhaps?). I have a large commercial kitchen refrigerator I can use (but high humidity). I do have access to a small dark fairly temperature controlled storage space as well. Thanks for any help!

Hi Jay,
Im interested in the Crankenstein Grinder if your willing to ship to Ontario. Please email me phil@isaacs.net.nz
I read some of the threads about tempering machines,but still, I have to ask:
1. The definition of the tempering machine, namely, "semi-auto" means that it needs seed, but what avoid me to have a tempering plan of cooling to 2-3C below the working temperature and than to rise it again?
2. I'm looking for a 4-8 kg tempering machine that needs to be reliable and in reasonable price, I found that the "ChocoVision Delta" will satisfied the demands.
Any other suggestions? I heard that the Chocovision machines are very good, is it?
Appreciate any help!
