Add to your SKUs, not your downtime, with a removable melt grid, wash-down design, excellent allergen management, and fast, simple cleaning.

Why the Melter V20

Modular melter

The V20 is the result of months of R&D after consultations and problem-solving with multinationals and co-manufacturers. The outcome is a more powerful, flexible melter, enabling our customers to increase production, lower costs, and be more agile.

35 years of melting innovation

After 35 years of collaboration with world-leading co-manufacturers, our real-world knowledge and feedback have helped us redefine what a commercial chocolate melter should deliver.

Success in the bar and chocolate industry

For us, innovation isn’t the goal – it’s when our clients see boosts in productivity and efficiency because of it. Here are just some of the clients who have seen that success.
