"Brandon,
I am thinking about doing popsicles starting in March...was googling molds and came across your mold. Should have checked CL first;) I'd love to hear how this worked out for you? Did you get a good response? Any tips? One thing…"

I'm considering doing some popsicles to help with summertime sales at the shop and looking for some commercial molds. All I keep finding are sites linking me to China. Does anyone know if there's any…Continue

Okay, so in our shop, we have a couple of large Hilliards tempering pots and one ACMC pot used only for tempering white chocolate. Its motor has recently burned out. I need to replace it and would…Continue

Brandon Buckner replied to Brandon Buckner's discussion Need to know about parts/manual availability for this machine."Thanks! Since I started this thread, I've actually built a spout out of thin cardboard and I'm waiting for the fabricator to finish up some welds on the stainless. I appreciate you attaching a photo. I believe I have figured out the…"
George replied to Brandon Buckner's discussion Need to know about parts/manual availability for this machine."By the way, the vibrating table on this machine is back to front.. the grill should be next to the wheel, not hanging over the left hand side as shown in this picture."
Jennifer Roberts replied to Brandon Buckner's discussion Need to know about parts/manual availability for this machine."I have this same machine and am in a similar boat, as I have no manual, but I do have the spout. I've attached the best photo I have right now if you'd like more I can take more. It's a simple piece I'm sure any metal…"
Andy Ciordia replied to Brandon Buckner's discussion Popsicle molds? Stainless?"We use coldmolds to make fudge pops and they rock. We tried metal molds and found their ability to release sub-par and the stick locations sometimes 'bled'. The silicon work real well and you can fit quite a few on a sheet pan…"

Jessica Conrad replied to Brandon Buckner's discussion Popsicle molds? Stainless?"Hey Brandon, I'm pretty sure there's an Italian manufacturer out there that does larger trays (20+) but for the life of me I can't recall their name and can't find them in my bookmarks. If I find it, I'll send it but…"
Brandon Buckner posted a discussionPopsicle molds? Stainless?
I'm considering doing some popsicles to help with summertime sales at the shop and looking for some commercial molds. All I keep finding are sites linking me to China. Does anyone know if there's any US distributors for something stainless with 20+ cavities and stick holders? I see there's plenty of plastic molds on amazon and the like, but I hope to find some thing like this (to fit in a regular single-door freezer):…See More
Daniel Herskovic replied to Brandon Buckner's discussion Need to know about parts/manual availability for this machine."I'm such a geek when it comes to chocolate machinery! I think I read somewhere that Chocotec is somehow related to Sollich . Perhaps if you found a Sollich rep they would be able to point you in an interesting direction. If not, you seem like a…"
Brandon Buckner replied to Brandon Buckner's discussion Need to know about parts/manual availability for this machine."I appreciate it! I also found Prefamac as a possibility. The issue is the configuration of the holder/attachment for the spout and where it's attached behind the wheel. I think I may have to go custom. I'm open to all options though.…"
Daniel Herskovic replied to Brandon Buckner's discussion Need to know about parts/manual availability for this machine."That is certainly one option. Another option is to contact Bakon USA or Perfect. Show them a picture of your machine and see if they have a part that could fit your machine. If they have something in stock or can create something for you, they will…"
Brandon Buckner replied to Brandon Buckner's discussion Need to know about parts/manual availability for this machine."i appreciate it. I think i may have to have one fabricated. It's amazing that there's no chocotec presence on the web. I wonder if they're no longer around. I see the machines here and there, but no company info anywhere. I'm…"
