ICB Technologies 1.5Ltr Chocolate Melter 09.SC1.5L
£275.00(£330.00 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The ICB Technologies 09.SC1.5L is a compact electric chocolate melter designed for professional use in patisseries, hotel kitchens, chocolatiers and catering operations where precise, consistent chocolate handling is a daily requirement. It melts chocolate from solid and then holds it at a steady working temperature, ready for dipping, moulding, coating or finishing work throughout service.
What distinguishes this unit from basic bain-marie arrangements is the dry heat system. Rather than relying on a water bath, heat is conducted evenly through the base and sides of the stainless steel bowl directly, giving operators more accurate temperature control and a cleaner working environment. There is no water to top up, no steam, and no spillage risk from a secondary vessel. For kitchens producing chocolates or dessert work at any regular frequency, this translates into a more dependable process with fewer variables to manage.
Practical operational advantages include:
- Removable stainless steel bowl makes cleaning straightforward between uses
- Dry heat system eliminates water bath management and associated mess
- Simple dial temperature control reduces the risk of operator error
- Compact footprint suits pastry sections and prep benches with limited space
- 80W power draw keeps running costs modest for continuous hold use
Installation is straightforward — the unit is plug-in and requires only a standard UK mains socket. There are no plumbing, drainage or ventilation requirements. At 4kg it is light enough to be repositioned easily, though it is best treated as a dedicated bench fixture during service to avoid interrupting a melt cycle. The 1.5-litre capacity is appropriate for small-batch work and steady-volume service rather than high-output production runs.
This melter suits operations where chocolate work is a regular but not industrial-scale activity — artisan producers, hotel pastry teams, restaurant dessert sections and event caterers producing finished chocolate work to order. For sites running continuous high-volume chocolate production, a larger-capacity unit would be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this capacity is right for your output, or want to talk through how it fits alongside your existing pastry equipment, we are happy to help you work that out before you order.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 1.5-litre capacity enough for busy service periods?
For small-batch work — such as dipping, garnishing or finishing desserts to order — the 1.5-litre bowl is generally sufficient for most restaurant pastry sections and small artisan operations. If you are running continuous high-volume production or coating large quantities in a single session, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity model would better suit your throughput before purchasing.
Does it need any special installation or electrical requirements?
No specialist installation is required. The unit runs from a standard UK 13-amp mains socket and has no plumbing, drainage or ventilation requirements, making it straightforward to position wherever it is most useful on your prep bench.
How does dry heat melting compare to a traditional water bath for professional use?
A dry heat system conducts heat directly through the bowl walls and base, removing the need to manage water levels, monitor steam, or clean a secondary vessel after use. For most professional applications this gives more consistent results with less day-to-day management, though operators should still follow the manufacturer's guidance on maximum temperatures to avoid affecting chocolate temper.
