Spray gun manufacturers Krebs have collaborated with chocolate manufacturers Barry Callebaut UK to design a heated chocolate spray gun.
The HotChoc is specifically designed to spray a half-and-half mixture of chocolate and cocoa butter at temperatures between 28°C – 35°C. The special heating unit and insulation sleeve encasing the nozzle keeps the chocolate fluid, while the container insulation slows down the materials’ rate of cooling.
The HotChoc is a purpose-built, handheld electric chocolate sprayer that can be used for final coverings, prepping moulds, speckling pralines or adding decoration to cakes. The nozzle warmer eliminates clogged nozzles; the insulation facilitates continued usage without needing to reheat the chocolate; and the reduced power setting allows the user to intricately create ‘velvet’ effects. These features combine to make the HotChoc an innovative piece of equipment for preparation professionals within the food and drinks industry.
Each unit comes with a 550ml container; bent nozzle extension; nozzle-heating unit, container and insulation sleeves; and a round jet nozzle.
