We recommend spraying at 29°C - 35°C / 84°F - 95°F. Why?
When the warm chocolate leaves the nozzle, the small atomised particles will be
immediately exposed to the ambient temperature. Normally it results in a circa 20%
drop in chocolate temperature, for e.g. in a working environment of 22°C / 72°F, the
chocolate in the container at 31°C / 88°F will cool down to circa 25°C / 77°F, after
reaching the target surface of approximately 30 cm distance.
In a normal food preparation environment, the container can be filled at 35°C / 95°F,
knowing that the temperature will have cooled significantly by the time it reaches the
target.
The container can be used in a hot water bath or microwave up to 70°C / 160°F, but
please remove the insulation cover first. The container can also be stored in the fridge.
Maximising the period that chocolate remains warm.
Tempered chocolate generally changes back to solid form as it approaches 21°C /
70°F and usually is worked between 29°C - 35°C / 84°F - 95°F. The hotCHOC sprayer
is designed to deliver a smooth spray pattern even down to around 27°C / 80°F with
minimal overspray. The nozzle heater can be expected to maintain an average
temperature at the nozzle extension of around 30°C / 86°F with circa 26°C / 79°F in
the nozzle tip. The nozzle heating starts working when plugged in and should be left
plugged in even when changing containers.
Adding the chocolate mix to the container at 35°C+ / 95°F+ and using the insulation
and heating features, it should be possible to continue spraying for as long as an hour
without the need to reheat the material.
Fitting the heating unit.
Before filling the container with chocolate, first fit the heating unit to the nozzle
extension following the below steps:
i) Ensure the cable and heating unit are dry and away from liquids.
ii) Firmly tighten the nozzle extension to the pump housing.
iii) Without the round nozzle, slide the heating unit over the nozzle extension until it
is flush against the pump housing.
iv) Slide on the insulation sock until it reaches the rear end of the heating unit.
v) Screw on the round nozzle.
vi) Plug in the sprayer and leave it for 2 or 3 minutes, in order to let the heating unit
warm up. Only unplug the sprayer after the heating unit is no longer needed.
