03/05/08 These arrived and sold out virtually immediately. A new shipment will be in around May. If you are interested in reserving one from that shipment (they are $1600) or want one from India (for an additional $500 shipping charge) please contact me and I will be happy to get that arranged for you

The Spectra 40 holds and can refine approximately 40 lbs of chocolate.

The unit has two black granite “stone” rollers that rotates at over 100 rpm on a granite slab. This creates tremendous shear and reduces the particles of sugar and cocoa to the smoothness we expect in modern chocolate, somewhere in the 1-30 micron range. Please read the Grinding section about how to use it and it’s limitations.

Due to demand for larger units, Spectra has allowed us to offer some of their larger Wet Grinders.

And as it used to be for the smaller Melangers, until Spectra gathers more data, there is not the standard 1 year warranty for these units. If they arrive with a defect, that is one thing, and are covered, but long term use for chocolate making is currently not covered and no warranty is implied for their suitability for making chocolate. For this reason also, we currently can not accept returns for non-defective units. We don’t like this either, but it is the policy Spectra has set.

Please see the complete Warranty for more details.
