Hi Clay,

Do you know how much will be the new FBM 10kg batch tempering machine? Thanks.

Lots of pnuematic delivery systems out there - i'd never heard of the one called the peppy pumper, but it gets my vote on the name alone 8-)

Thanks clay, I saw another one of your post you mentioned something about a Peruvian company that makes machinery  are they still open or have a webpage>

Mark -

FBM will be offering a 10kg batch tempering machine in the very near future. Instead of using running water to maintain temperature it uses a compressor for cooling and electrical resistance wire for heating.

I don't know about a depositor for it, yet. You might be able to fit a Peppy Pumper to the tank. (There is a pump for the Savage tanks made by Savage Bros but people I know who have used both prefer the Peppy Pumper.)

You sure you want a wheel? I'm not a huge fan of them as they can result in lots of air bubbles getting trapped.  An alternative i might suggest would be a heated/jacketed kettle - something like a smith kettle or one from a company called the savage brothers.  Not sure what your budget is, but you should be able to find one for about $5,000 USD or so.  can temper and maintain temper as small as ~20 lbs and as large as, well, as large as you'll ever need (of course the larger units cost more money)

hey everyone my name is mark Anthony I'm located in Bogota Colombia and I am getting ready to open a boutique size bean to bar chocolate business but I have a few questions and I was wondering if I could get some opinions.

1. I need a tempering wheel or at least I prefer one because I am going to be filling bar molds and I would rather not ladle every mold. So I was wondering if anyone has bought any of the tempering machines from albibabaexress, I think there called known tempering machines which I believe is just an off brand? I have a very stretched budget for a tempering wheel, So I guess I have to frugal. Can anyone recommend another brand which has good prices? Also I have seen the warmers/tempers  with no wheel and a lot more capacity for a much better price and not from china but they have no wheel and that's very important for me. Does anyone  make wheel attachments or does that not exist?

 thanks.
