Elevate your dragees with the Pomati Mini Bassina Tabletop Panning Machine — the compact Italian masterpiece for boutique and medium-scale chocolatiers. Craft flawless, glossy chocolate-coated almonds, hazelnuts, coffee beans, puffed rice, fruits, and centers with perfect uniformity every time.
Entirely built in AISI 304 stainless steel and made in Italy, this full-featured tabletop coater holds up to 4.5 kg per cycle and automates the entire panning process using an integrated hot/cold air heat pump system. Warm air enlarges the shell; cold air smooths, polishes, and cools for a brilliant shine.
Full control via intuitive touch-screen: set temperature, rotation speed (10–60 rpm), and drum direction. Available in 110–120V 60Hz (standard North American plug) or 220–240V — select your voltage below.
