The ChromeCater SSD1 is a heated sauce dispenser for ice cream and dessert shops, snack bars, cinemas, food trucks, cafés and buffet setups that serve warm sauces and toppings. It holds 2.5L, with 6 temperature settings from 30°C to 80°C to keep the sauce warm while you serve.
It is full stainless steel, with one 304 stainless steel pump.
Ideas for what to serve
Use it for sauces and toppings such as:
- Nacho cheese sauce for nachos, hot dogs and burgers
- Hot fudge, chocolate sauce and caramel toppings for ice cream, waffles and desserts
- Chilli and other hot condiments
Bowl and pump
The bowl measures 175mm x 150mm and holds 2.5L. The pump is 304 stainless steel.
Water bath heating
The SSD1 uses water bath (bain-marie) heating to keep the sauce warm. The temperature control has 6 settings, from 30°C to 80°C, so you can set the heat to suit the sauce.
Not for melting chocolate
This stainless steel sauce dispenser warms sauces for serving, but it is not suitable for melting chocolate. To melt chocolate, use a chocolate stove such as the BM-2D chocolate and caramel stove.
Power, size and weight
It runs on 220 to 240V, 50 to 60Hz and draws 0.4kW. It measures 200mm x 200mm x 285mm and weighs 3.0kg net (3.5kg packed).
Double or single
For two sauces at once, the DSD1 double sauce dispenser holds 2 x 2.5L, has a separate temperature control for each bowl and draws 0.8kW.
Using the water bath
Do not run the SSD1 without water, and do not submerge the heating element or any electrical parts in water. To fill the water bath, lift out the sauce bowl, fill the water bath to about a quarter of its capacity, then put the sauce bowl back in. More water than that will overflow when the bowl goes back in.
Water evaporates while the unit is on, so check the water level regularly and top it up as needed. Too little water stops the sauce heating evenly.
Heat the sauce before you pump
The pump will not work properly until the sauce has heated through, so let it warm up before service. The pump spout gets hot while the unit is on, so handle it with heat-resistant gloves.
Cleaning
Clean and dry the SSD1 after each use. Use a soft cloth and mild soap on the outside, with no metal scouring pads or strong abrasives. Take the pump apart and wash all the parts with soap and water between uses.
