Technical details

Seven chocolate holding tank models, 100 to 3000 kg.

Selection rule: pick the smallest model whose capacity covers required hold time at the downstream consumption rate.

Non-insulated ST100–ST600 acceptable where holding periods are shorter or room temperature is controlled; insulated ST1000INS–ST3000INS reduce heat loss, lower jacket heater duty cycle, and reduce energy consumption during extended holding, overnight standby, or shift-change periods.

ST100, ST200, ST400, ST600, and ST1000INS melt solid chocolate callets / drops in addition to holding liquid chocolate.

ST2000INS and ST3000INS are liquid-only and require an upstream melting tank when the input is solid chocolate; in-tank melting is not supported on these models.

ST100, ST200 on 220 V single-phase; ST400, ST600 dual-supply; ST1000INS, ST2000INS, ST3000INS on 380 V three-phase only.

Water-jacketed AISI 304 stainless steel with PID temperature control, variable-speed agitation with sidewall scrapers, and integrated transfer pump.

ST100 Compact Chocolate Holding Tank

ST100 Compact Chocolate Holding Tank

Compact chocolate holding tank sized for laboratory, R&D, and pilot lines — 100 kg on 220 V single-phase, with caster mounting, water-jacket heating, integrated gear pump. Built-in melting of solid chocolate callets and drops. Move to ST200 when capacity exceeds 100 kg. For extended holding or overnight standby, an insulated INS model reduces heater cycling and operating cost.

ST400 Dual-Supply Chocolate Holding Tank

Dual-supply chocolate holding tank — 400 kg on 220 V single-phase or 380 V three-phase, sized for continuous tempering machines and growing daily production. Caster-mounted, water-jacket heating, integrated gear pump. Accepts solid chocolate input (callets / drops) for in-tank melting. Move to ST600 when production scale reaches mini molding lines or refill interruptions per shift must be reduced. For extended holding or overnight standby, an insulated INS model reduces heater cycling and operating cost.

ST1000INS First Insulated Chocolate Holding Tank

ST1000INS First Insulated Chocolate Holding Tank

Insulated chocolate holding tank — 1000 kg on 380 V three-phase. Last model in the range that melts solid chocolate input in addition to holding liquid chocolate. Glass wool insulation between reservoir and outer casing reduces jacket heater cycling during long shifts and overnight holding. Stainless steel lobe-type pump. Move to ST2000INS when capacity exceeds 1000 kg; ST2000INS and ST3000INS are liquid-only and require an upstream melting tank for solid chocolate. Requires 380 V three-phase power.

ST2000INS Liquid-Only Chocolate Buffer Tank

High-volume insulated chocolate buffer tank — 2000 kg on 380 V three-phase. Liquid chocolate only — does not melt solid chocolate. An upstream chocolate melting tank is required when the input is solid chocolate pieces. Glass wool insulation reduces heat loss and lowers jacket heater duty cycle during extended holding. Stainless steel lobe-type pump. Move to ST3000INS when capacity exceeds 2000 kg. Requires 380 V three-phase power. Facilities limited to 220 V single-phase must remain in ST100–ST600.
