The Omcan 39482 Hot Chocolate Dispenser
The Omcan DI-CN-0005 is a 5-liter (1.3-gallon) hot chocolate dispenser with a bain-marie heating system and continuous stirring, designed for cafes, coffee shops, catering events, and dessert stations that serve hot chocolate, warm milk, mulled wine, or specialty hot beverages in smaller volumes. It is the compact counterpart to the 10-liter model (31840), holding half the volume for operations where a full 2.6-gallon batch would sit too long before being sold. The continuous stirring mechanism keeps the mixture smooth and lump-free from start to finish.
Bain-Marie Heating from 86°F to 212°F
The bain-marie system surrounds the inner chamber with heated water, delivering gentle, even heat that prevents the scorching and hot spots that direct-heat dispensers cause with thick chocolate drinks. The thermostat adjusts from 86°F to 212°F (86°F to 212°F), giving you the range to hold warm milk at the low end or steaming mulled wine at the high end. A #304 stainless steel boiler with a thermal protector prevents overheating if the water level drops. Polyurethane insulation around the chamber reduces heat loss and keeps energy costs down during extended service periods.
Anti-Clogging Faucet with Self-Closing Doors
The special anti-clogging faucet handles thick hot chocolate without jamming, which is a persistent problem with standard beverage dispensers. Self-closing doors on top keep heat in and dust out. Interior lighting lets you check the fill level without opening the unit. A lock mount secures the dispenser in self-service environments, and casters let you roll it into position. At 1,000 watts on a 110V/60Hz/1Ph circuit, it heats up quickly and maintains temperature steadily.
