The semi-transparent doors offer easy overview and access to the components

Stainless steel design

Behind the sleek and elegant stainless steel design of the AMC SuperNova is hidden a powerful range of benefits that set entirely new tempering standards

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 products. The AMC SuperNova ensures all the best conditions.

AMC SuperNova Basic

The heart of all AMC tempering machines is the Basic module that comprises all the best of 60 years in tempering business. The Basic module covers anything from straight heat exchanging of any pumpable mass to highly precise creation of Beta V crystals in high-quality chocolate mass. Unique Scandinavian design in stainless steel Constant crystal content Highest chocolate output temperature

AMC SuperNova PreTreat

The unique PreTreat module ensures safe stabilisation of varying temperatures in chocolate mass pumped from an external tank. The mass is then free from undesirable crystals. Ensures longer shelf life of your chocolate products Minimizes fat-bloom

AMC SuperNova CTS

The CTS features a built-in compact tempering system with a tank and pump for re-circulation of excess mass. It offers you complete flexibility to re-circulate mass from an enrober or to perform an inline 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

AMC SuperNova Aeration

The Aeration version will supply any kind of aerated mass to your production line. The gas is supplied directly into the chocolate outlet so that the tempering and crystallisation process is not disturbed by the 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

AMC SuperNova HeavyDuty

Heavy masses and fillings, e.g. nougat, require special attention to the toughness and strength of the tempering machine. In the HeavyDuty version especially mechanical parts such as gear, shaft and stirring elements are chosen to meet the challenges of heavy mass. Automatic control system available

The inside story
The 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.

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 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. clean with a damp cloth.

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.

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.

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 process is therefore not influenced by mixing of gas. Consequently, the recipe of the mass is safely maintained. A great advantage. External aroma and

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.
