The INFINITY AX is a full-featured, continuous chocolate tempering machine that will quickly and consistently temper batches from as little as 12kgs and up to 60kgs. No bigger in size than a typical 24kg machine, it’s unequalled flexibility, ease of control and versatility make it suitable for both small batches and high-volume production. The INFINITY AX is fully compatible with the INFINITY AML (automatic moulding line).

CLEANING
The INFINITY AX is fitted with a removable auger and a very convenient drain outlet at the rear of the machine. The auger is easily removed from the top of the machine, allowing any remaining chocolate to be shaken off directly into the tank with no mess. The schematic image above shows how the connecting pipes have been specifically designed to make cleaning as easy as possible. As a result, fully cleaning the machine can be completed in just 15-20 minutes (excluding drying time).
-
Low-level drain to efficiently empty tank and clean pipes
-
Auger can be easily removed directly above tank to avoid mess
-
Outlet pipe can be removed and dismantled for easy cleaning
WORKING WITH NON-STANDARD CHOCOLATES
Bean-to-bar, craft, dairy-free, low-sugar and added protein are just some examples of growing trends in the chocolate confectionery sector. These ‘non-standard’ chocolate grades are often more difficult to work with than typical compound or couverture chocolates, resulting in tempering difficulties with many machines. The INFINITY AX however has the ability to custommise and modify its operating parameters enabling it to adapt to even the most complex tempering requirements.
If you experience problems with tempering a non-standard chocolate, let us show you how the INFINITY AX can service your needs. Send us a sample of your chocolate and we'll analyse it with our sophisticated temper meter to determine the optimal tempering characteristics. Using this report you can program the INFINITY AX to temper successfully every time.
"I purchased my first Keychoc AX two years ago, with an expansion in the business. I was so pleased with the workings of the machine, the wonderful finished product it allowed me to produce and the high level of support, that I purchased a second machine 12 months ago."
