Chocolate Making Equipment - Horizontal Chocolate Holding Tanks

McCarter vessels are designed & built by WM. A. Schmidt and Sons under the jurisdiction of ASME guidelines using medium gauge materials & welded-reinforced construction.

WAS offers both horizontal and vertical chocolate holding tanks. These chocolate holding tanks are a crucial step between conching or tempering and the final step of molding the chocolate for transport.

The liquid chocolate needs to be stored after it leaves the conches. It is kept in tanks at a constant temperature and is stirred regularly to prevent fats separating from solids. For longer periods, the chocolate may be stored as blocks.

Standard unit material is carbon steel ASTM A36. Optional materials are stainless steel, ASTM A240-304/316
