Chocolate vibrating machines from China?

[Chocolatemelter]

Hey everyone.

 

So im looking for the most affordable chocolate shaking table that actually works.. does anyone have experience with the ones from AliBaba or china in general?

 

i bought a $100 dental table from amazon but i guess its not the right hrtz cause it kinda works, but not well enough.

 

im looking in the $500 range or under.. any advice? Thanks

You need to look for somethng that has 2 knobs, one to adjust frequency, the other to adjust the width of the vibrations. Usually all dental tables have at least the knob for the width and it should be enough.

A couple years ago I saw a vibrating table on Alibaba that had the 2 knobs and was sold for about 200 eur, but I lost the link, sorry.

I bought some equipment from ALIBABA, I believe you can find something cool and affordable especially for a vibration machine. am sure you ll find it on the 200$ range + shipping.

I have been successfully using this type of Dental Shaker for almost 2 years without many issues. 

 

Although I acquired a couple of Selmi One tempering machines last year that included vibrating platform units, I use custom made 40-shore silicone moulds for my filled chocolate racing helmets, which are too wide to fit on the Selmi vibration platforms. 40-shore silicone is very stiff but still flexible, so I suffered cracking of my coloured cocoa butter when I vibrated the moulds on the Selmi's due to them not fitting on the platform. They are too big for the dental vibration platform shown above, but I can get around this by removing the black rubber top and making sure I hold on to and spin the mould while vibrating to ensure it does not fall off. I tend to use it on the Low switch setting but with the dial at around 3/4 o'clock. It seems to dislodge air bubbles fine without damaging my decoration.

 

I have been considering purchasing a Keychoc VT01 as my moulds do fit on this and the Stainless Steel design should make it much easier to clean, but I'm not sure I can use this as justification for spending over £600 when I already own an £80 piece of kit that is doing a fine job.

 

Hope this helps.

Just curios why would you need a vibrating table? It can be done with your hand on a table, cant be? (I clench my muscles and shake my hand uncontrollably like I had Alzheimer and it works perfectly)

@Vojta FYI, the reason I need a vibration table is because my 40-shore silicone moulds are not solid like poycarb ones, so if I try to vibrate them by hand, I will crack all of my painstakingly sprayed decorative layers.
