Snap, gloss, shelf life, resistance to bloom — every quality your customer associates with good chocolate is decided at tempering, when cocoa butter must be brought into its most stable crystal form before the chocolate sets. Get the crystallisation wrong by a degree and the product tells on you in the shop window.
Alpy Tempering Machines control this process to a maximum deviation of ±0.2 °C across the entire tempering cycle. That number is the headline of this page; everything else exists to deliver it:
- Specially designed scrapers keep the product mass moving so tempering is homogeneous at every point, not just at the wall
- Each stainless steel tempering zone has independent temperature control and is thermally isolated from its neighbours, so zones cannot drag each other off setpoint
- An integrated de-crystallizer reheats tempered chocolate returning to the storage tank, preventing premature crystallisation in your return lines
- Food-grade stainless steel construction throughout

Matched to your line
Size the tempering machine to the moulding or depositing line it feeds: a PIN-DRIVE or MODUFLEX moulding line, the Shell line, or the Rotary Drop line each have different demand profiles, and the four capacity steps above let us match the temperer to the line rather than oversizing it. Alpy tempering machines feed Alpy lines in plants across more than 45 countries, and integrate equally well with existing third-party equipment.
Tell us what the temperer will feed, and we will specify the right capacity.
