A LOW-IMPACT, TABLETOP REFINER FOR BEAN-TO-BAR AND NUT-TO-SPREAD MAKERS

Our DCM Melanger 15 (15 lbs/7 kg batch capacity) is designed for artisan food makers and those who want to take their brand to the next level, creating award-winning chocolate, superior-tasting nut butter, pralinés, spreads, and bases for ice cream and gelato. The DCM Melanger 15 was developed in collaboration with makers over four years and field tested for two. Our goals were to ensure maximum durability, energy efficiency, and ease of use, all in a machine with a compact footprint.   

Low-impact refining allows for maximum retention of nutritional value while at the same time preserving the shelf-life of the product. This makes the DCM 15 ideal for processing raw ingredients with high nutritional value.

Built to the highest quality standards and manufactured in the USA, the DCM Melanger 15 is custom-built and features high-quality, all-natural granite stones that refine particle size down to less than 20 microns for a perfectly smooth result. The body of the machine features a food-grade, Inox stainless steel construction for maximum durability and ease of cleaning. The solid brass Top Lock Knob is not only sturdy, but allows for fine pressure control of the roller stones.

The DCM Melanger 15’s high-efficiency, energy-saving, continuous-duty motor is engineered specifically to run 24x7x365 days. Its direct gear drive mechanism (with no belts or chains) makes for very quiet operation. The unit operates based on load and consumes only the electricity needed, resulting in significant savings to the maker. To learn more about the electrical operating costs of running a DCM Melanger 15, please read our in-depth analysis here. 

The unit is plug-and-play ready and features a convenient tilting mechanism that makes cleaning and emptying fast and simple. Operating the machine is easy and intuitive, and our US-based, in-house tech team will swiftly handle any questions or concerns that might arise. 

The DCM Melanger 15’s modular design makes the unit easy to assemble and disassemble and setup requires only basic know-how and simple tools. The Melanger is light enough to be transported by a single person.

The Microbatch, 8 lb and 10 lb bowl and roller stone sets are compatible with the DCM 15. The unit also has a variable bowl speed, from 0-100/120 rpm (50-60 Hz).

The DCM Melanger 15 meets or exceeds the latest international safety and energy efficiency standards. It is also CE certified.
