Hi, I would like to buy this maschine ECGC-12SQSS Melanger from cocoatown.com/products/ecgc12sqss-melanger I decide ask forum for few question before buy and shipping to czech republic for 600 dollars ... because my friend said me few things and i need answers. 1. I wonder if is true, melanger can only process half of batch which is write on website ? For this is 12lb 2. is it true they can get easily overheated ? He told me he had really high pritze maschine and it went overheated.. 3. do you have anyone a experience with this maschine ? ECGC-12SQSS Melanger is it good for the almost 2000 dollars ? I need melanger for production of chocolate in my store.. let say i will each day make at least one or two batches ... I will all ingrediences grind in vitamix and use mostly cocoa buter ( melted) and cocoa powder. Thank you

1) Generally, melangers reference the absolute max that can be processed in them. So, this can do 12lbs, but the chocolate will probably be over the stones. This greatly reduces the efficiency of refining and conching (which melangers aren't particularly good at anyway). When I was using melangers regularly, I found that it was best to keep the chocolate at or below the level of the axles. I was able to make more and better chocolate this way. 2) There shouldn't be any overheating issues. 3) I've seen the cocoatown machine in operation but haven't used it myself. I've not seen or used the kadzama machine. But as long as the machine can turn the bowl, melangers are all basically the same as far as the chocolate is concerned. On a side note, I'm not sure you'll be able to refine two batches of chocolate per day, even with pre-grinding in a vitamix and using cocoa butter and powder.
