Spectra 70NB Melanger

The 70NB stands out as a powerful, ergonomic, cost-effective option for businesses looking to step up production without jumping to the largest (and heaviest) models.

Capacity: Handles up to 20 kg (44 lbs) of cocoa or chocolate per batch.
Smaller than the Spectra 105NB (which does 25 kg), so it’s a better fit for midsize craft or growing bean-to-bar makers.
Features a tilting drum for easy decanting and cleaning.
Built with sturdy stainless steel and real black granite stones for longevity.
Includes a speed controller and double scrapers for efficient, customizable grinding.
Lower height and side-mounted motor make it easier to operate in space-constrained shops.
Drum tension and speed are adjustable for fine-tuned results.

In short: The 70NB bridges the gap between artisan and commercial scale, providing capacity and features above entry-level melangers while being easier to fit and run than the largest shop-floor models.

Spectra (formally known as Santha) was the very first wet grinder company to work with Chocolate Alchemy back in 2004 to produce what we all now know as Chocolate Melangers. All other manufacturers have stood on their proverbial shoulders. With those 18+ years of experience comes unparalleled knowledge of the needs of the chocolate bean to bar community. Problems that other companies continue to 'fix' have been solved long ago by Spectra. Chocolate Alchemy works in partnership with Spectra to ensure our customers receive excellent customer service when purchasing and using Spectra products.

Shipping is INCLUDED in all prices
Tariffs are currently NOT included in prices and are 50% at delivery.

We are excited to give you the option of selecting Belt or Chain drives for this model. The belt or chain drive machines are identical in all respects. The main difference is that the chain is slightly noisier like you can imagine a fast bicycle chain, while the belt is very quiet in operation.The belt needs to changed out every 1-2 years,The chain needs replacing every 3-4 years. The chain needs to be cleaned and lubricated every few months.

Chocolate Alchemy recommends this option for better power transmission and durability.

Replacement costs for spare belts or chains are not expensive and both are economical.Please select your preferred option before adding to cart.

Feel free to pick it though. We'll verify when we get the order and let you know and of course only charge you for Port delivery, meaning will will deduct $500 from the amount you have authorized.
