up to 100-150
guests
Large: serves up
to 150-400
guests
How does the
unit work?
The unit is
comprised of two
basic sections:
the heater base,
which contains
the holding
basin, and the
fountain unit,
which contains
the “auger”
(similar to a
corkscrew). The
heater is turned
on to pre-heat
approximately 15
minutes before
fountain use,
and pre-melted
chocolate is
poured into the
basin. The auger
is turned on and
the chocolate
will begin to
flow from the
fountain. The
Chocolate
Fountain is able
to melt the
solid chocolate
since it is a
tempering
unit, and
it takes 30 - 45
minutes for the
chocolate flow
to begin.
How does
the chocolate
get to the top
of the fountain?
Inside of the
fountain is a
specially
designed
stainless steel
corkscrew that
rotates and
brings the
melted chocolate
from the basin
to the top
reservoir bowl.
When that bowl
is full, the
chocolate
overflows and
cascades down
the fountain
back into the
basin. This unit
does not use a
pump, so life
expectancy is
greatly
increased.
What
accompaniments
can be used with
the fountain?
Basically,
anything edible
that goes with
chocolate can be
used, and is
only restricted
by your
imagination. A
few examples:
strawberries,
candies, mint
sticks,
marshmallows,
grapes, orange
slices,
biscotti,
cookies,
etc.-see our
dipping delights
sections.
Are
there multiple
designs and
sizes of the
fountain?
The single
design available
is circular in
shape allowing
for complete
ease of use
during parties
and functions.
There are three
sizes available
to allow for
various
production or
function
requirements.
All fountains
require a
standard 110V
three-pronged
outlet.
