Chocolate Showcase 1160 mm for Professional Kitchens

A chocolate showcase keeps tempered chocolate at the precise temperature where it stays glossy, snaps cleanly and melts smoothly on the tongue. The unit circulates chilled air evenly around the display area, preventing hot spots that could raise the chocolate above its working range. A thermostat cycles the compressor on and off to hold the set point, while a fan distributes the cold air so every piece is exposed to the same conditions. The glass front and top allow customers to see the product without opening the case, which would let warm air enter and moisture condense on the chocolate.

To use the showcase, the operator first ensures the unit is level and plugged into a 230 V supply. The thermostat is set between +14 °C and +18 °C, depending on the type of chocolate and the ambient temperature of the kitchen. Once the target temperature is reached, the chocolate is loaded onto the stainless-steel trays inside. The glass doors are closed and the fan starts automatically, circulating the chilled air. The operator checks the temperature display periodically to confirm the showcase is holding the set range. When chocolate is removed for sale, the doors are opened briefly and the fan continues running to restore the temperature quickly.

The showcase is built as a single stainless-steel cabinet with a reinforced base to support the weight of the chocolate and the unit itself. The interior is lined with food-grade plastic that is easy to wipe clean. The glass panels are tempered for safety and sealed with food-safe silicone gaskets. The compressor and condenser are housed in the base, keeping the footprint compact while allowing the full 1160 mm width to be used for display.

A 400 W power rating means the unit draws a modest load from a standard 230 V circuit, suitable for most professional kitchens without requiring a dedicated line. The 65 L volume provides enough space for a full range of chocolate products while keeping the unit small enough to fit through standard doorways. The 140 kg weight requires two people to move the showcase, and the reinforced base allows it to be placed directly on the floor without additional support. The 1160 mm width fits standard worktop depths and allows the showcase to be positioned against a wall or island without overhang.

Cleaning is limited to the parts the entry names. The stainless-steel exterior and food-grade plastic interior are wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasives that could scratch the surfaces. The glass panels are cleaned with a glass cleaner that leaves no residue, ensuring visibility is not impaired. The gaskets around the doors are checked for food debris and wiped clean to maintain a proper seal. The compressor and condenser require no regular maintenance beyond keeping the vents free of dust and ensuring the unit is not placed against a wall that would block airflow.

The catalogue places this model in the professional pastry and confectionery section, alongside tempering machines and chocolate moulds.
