Neumarker Chocolate Melter GN1/2 for Professional Kitchens

A chocolate melter keeps couverture at working temperature without scorching. The Neumarker GN1/2 uses a low-wattage heating element beneath a stainless-steel vat. The element warms the base, which in turn conducts heat evenly into the chocolate, melting it gradually while preventing hot spots that can seize or burn the product. A thermostat maintains the set temperature once the chocolate is fluid, allowing pastry chefs to hold it ready for dipping, moulding or enrobing throughout service.

The operator places a gastronorm insert of 100 mm depth into the vat, fills it with chocolate blocks or callets, and switches the unit on. A single control knob sets the desired temperature; an indicator light shows when the element is active. The low power rating means the melter can be left on for hours without overloading the circuit, making it suitable for continuous use in busy kitchens. Once the chocolate reaches the set temperature, the light cycles on and off to maintain it, and the operator can ladle or pour as needed without reheating.

The melter is constructed from stainless steel, with a worktop footprint of 400 mm by 315 mm and a height of 140 mm. The 6 L volume vat accepts standard gastronorm inserts, allowing the chocolate to be portioned, stored or transported in the same container it was melted in. The unit weighs 5.2 kg, light enough to move between workstations or store in a cupboard when not in use. A 230 V plug connects to a standard single-phase socket found in professional kitchens.

Cleaning is straightforward: the vat lifts out for washing, and the heating base can be wiped down once cooled. The low power and gentle heat reduce carbonisation, so the vat stays cleaner between deep cleans. The melter is designed for GN1/2 gastronorm compatibility, fitting seamlessly into organised kitchen workflows that use standardised inserts for ingredients and finished products.

The catalogue places this model in the chocolate and confectionery section, alongside tempering machines and enrobing equipment.
