AMC SuperNovaHigh class tempering

The history of a SuperNova

60 years in chocolate business has provided

us with a great amount of experience that is

now forming the basis of our Technology

Centre. Here new ideas and your next suc-

cessful product are launched in an intensive

cooperation between our companies.

Welcome to a world of excellently tempered chocolate

The Beta V crystal seeding process

is vital to the high gloss, smooth

texture, crisp break and long shelf

life of high-quality chocolate pro-

ducts. The AMC SuperNova

ensures all the best conditions.

The heart of all AMC tempering machines is the Basic module thatcomprises all the best of 60 years in tempering business. The Basic module covers anything from straight heat exchanging ofany pumpable mass to highly precise creation of Beta V crystals inhigh-quality chocolate mass.

• Unique Scandinavian design in stainless steel • Constant crystal content• Highest chocolate output temperature

The unique PreTreat module ensures safe stabilisation of varyingtemperatures in chocolate mass pumped from an external tank. Themass is then free from undesirable crystals.

• Ensures longer shelf life of your chocolate products• Minimizes fat-bloom

The CTS features a built-in compact tempering system with a tankand pump for re-circulation of excess mass. It offers you completeflexibility to re-circulate mass from an enrober or to perform an in-line production shift of mass to a depositor or an extruder.

• Re-circulation of mass to temper• Space saving. No external tank or pump• Quick and easy in-line production shifts• External aeration possible

The Aeration version will supply any kind of aerated mass to yourproduction line. The gas is supplied directly into the chocolate outletso that the tempering and crystallisation process is not disturbed bythe gas mixing.

• Ensures that your recipe is kept• Gas mixing does not interfere with the tempering process• Operates for any tempering purpose without aeration• De-aeration possible• Optional colour and flavour mixing

Heavy masses and fillings, e.g. nougat, require special attention tothe toughness and strength of the tempering machine. In theHeavyDuty version especially mechanical parts such as gear, shaftand stirring elements are chosen to meet the challenges of heavymass.

• Automatic control system available

AMC SuperNova

Modular, turbulent flow water system

A turbulent flow water system employing

CIP water filters enables rapid heat transfer

and cooling via the large surface areas of

the tempering elements. This ensures even

temperature distribution and complete

temperature control of each zone.

Gear motor

The basic location of the gear motor eliminates any

risk of oil entering the temperer. A simple disconnection

enables the removal of the gear motor for maintenance.

Process control with touch screen display

The operator has a clear overview of all process

parameters on the colour display. The touch screen

enables straightforward operation and is simple to

clean with a damp cloth.

The inside storyThe Basic unit is designed to deliver high performance and low operating

costs throughout its service life. High-quality materials and engineering,

together with easy access to the few components requiring maintenance,

mean consistently high uptime and performance.

AMC SuperNova Basic

Unique innovative features, such

as SuperResponse process

control of the crystallisation area

with adaptive, dynamic K-Zone and

I-Plate technology, ensure the best

available all-round performance

and versatility on the market.

Easy access to all connections

Water heat exchanger and circulation pump

When you require a closed water system to avoid

corrosion and sediment build-up, we supply optional

heat exchanger and circulation pump.

AMC SuperNova PreTreat

I-Plate insulation between stages

The insulation efficiency provided by the

I-Plate enables unique temperature control

by minimizing heat transfer between cooling

and heating stages.

SuperResponse

The innovative SuperResponse circuit

instantly adopts the cooling water

flow to the requirements dictated by

chocolate temperature and flow.

Highly effective chocolate mixing

Multiple-winged SuperShear scrapers with a special flow-optimized profile

design for combined horizontal and vertical mixing ensure effective mixing and

homogenous distribution of the crystals created in the mass.

PreTreat conditioning for stable

supply of decrystallised mass

The PreTreat conditioning module

sets temperatures between 28°C and

65°C, for example at a constant

preset of 45°C.

AMC SuperNova CTS (Compact Tempering System)

The CTS version features a built-in compact

tank and preconditioning system with an

ingenious re-circulation system for tempered

mass via a mono pump. It offers you complete

flexibility whether you need to re-circulate mass

from an enrober, or you need to perform an

in-line production shift of mass to a depositor

or an extruder. The CTS is simply the top

solution incorporating all the best of our tempering

knowledge.

The AMC SuperNova CTS also ensures a consistent

texture in extrudable masses making it a superior

solution for the crystallisation of heavy masses such

as nougat and fillings.

13

AMC SuperNova Aeration

The aeration system is integrated on

the back of the cabinet so that the gas

is supplied into the chocolate outlet.

The tempering and crystallisation pro-

cess is therefore not influenced by

mixing of gas. Consequently, the recipe

of the mass is safely maintained. A

great advantage. External aroma and

colour tank is optional.AMC SuperNova HeavyDuty

Nougat and similar heavy masses and fillings

require the outmost attention to the

toughness and strength of the tempering

machine, especially its mechanical parts in

contact with the mass. The AMC SuperNova

is available in special versions that are

optionally configured to withstand the

challenges. The new HeavyDuty version is

obtainable with a new innovative control

system for automatic or manual adjustment

to the particular mass resistance.

Advanced quality process control

Aasted-Mikroverk is always at your

disposal for advice and guidance when

your recipes are to be transferred to

the AMC SuperNova. Once pilot tests

have confirmed the parameter set-

tings, the AMC SuperNova will ensure

uniform production consistent with

recipe settings.

Allen-Bradley or Siemens – your choice.

Both suppliers have worldwide service

facilities.
