I'm from Sydney, Australia and I manufacture chocolate goodies by panning. My focus is to build an online business.  Currently I do a lot of "farmers markets" and school fetes and am often invited by Rotary and Probus Clubs to talk about chocolate.

My web page is at  www.captainchocolate.com.au and if you're checking out what I make, do check back from time to time as I am continually "innovating" as ideas occur to me!

Thanks Clay for giving me this soapbox!

Hello Colin,

www.alibaba.com is the Web Site like Ebay & Amazon.com The names of some of the companies are as follows companies all make QUALITY CHOCOLATE EQUIPMENT at VERY GOOD & VERY REASONABLE PRICES!!! #1) Zhengzhou Bona Enterprise Co. LTD. #2) Zhengzhou Glory Development Corporation #3)Zhengzhou Auris Machinery Co. Ltd. #4) Henan U-First Machinery Equipment Co. Ltd. !!! The over TWELVE (12) pieces of equipment I have purchased from these four (4) companies, all of their Equipment is of VERY HIGH QUALITY, will last a long time & the prices are GREAT!!!! But Henan U-FIRST Machinery Equipment Co. Ltd. The Sales Manager Mr. Chris Lee, has been the BEST person & some of the companies I have purchased TWO items from. #1) I only bought ONE (1) item from, but #4) I have purchase SEVEN (7) pieces of equipment. Not because of the quality, but the PRICE has been the best, But the SERVICE is a LOT BETTER than ANYTHING!!. I have to look up is email address, but he is really ONE (1) of the BEST sales agent I have ever dealt with. Please let me know & I will send you his email address. But all of the FOUR (4) companies very good & their equipment is well worth the money plus!! The only difference is the service & detailed instruction with the equipment. Please let me know & I will help in any way I can.

If you want or ever need any COCOA PRODUCTS PURE & GHANA ORIGINAL (COCOA PASTE/CHOCOLATE LIQUOR, COCOA BUTTER, COCOA POWDER!! I would be very glade to help you with all of your Cocoa Products Needs.

Mostly when to slow it down and or speed it up.

The effect that speed has on the process.

Hi there Colin. I would love to here any tips you might have on panning. I have been looking to learn more on the art but info is kinda hard to find.

Thankyou Colin, I like the angled tray idea and was also thinking of how to lift the metal choc tray off the ice so will investigate Clark's products.

I will be doing an all day Sample festival in September which will be hotter than now, just to keep things interesting, ha!

I love glass, but it is too fragile hence the plastic (which I always wrap up in a pillow case after use so it doesn't scratch).

The commercial displays are expensive so I was going to make one if all else fails

cheers

Thanks for the feedback Colin. At the moment I display and sell varieties of single chocolates, not bars or packets. Customers are attracted to the large display so if there is only one of each flavour is a poor show. They are always cooled before I pack into the esky and I keep the bulk there until I need to replenish the display so they are cool. At the moment I have several cake displays with plastic round lids up on ice, but the ice causes condensation in the display area and doesn't look attractive. Any other thoughts?

PS yes I'm up north

Hi Colin,

It's our pleasure, who knows for the future you might consider a holiday in Italy. The offer stands so you are always welcome. In our 8 years experience with the panning machine we can really show a lot of applications, we now also put a layer of sugar around the chocolate coated product without any problem and also very important but time consuming is the natural shine (without products) we obtain on the products.

Good luck with all and hope to meet you one day !

Many regards

Tom
