The Omcan 31840 Hot Chocolate Dispenser
The Omcan DI-CN-0010 is a 10-liter (2.6-gallon) hot chocolate dispenser with a bain-marie heating system and continuous stirring mechanism, designed for cafes, coffee shops, catering events, and buffet stations that serve hot chocolate, mulled wine, warm milk, or specialty hot beverages. The bain-marie system heats the product gently and evenly by surrounding the inner chamber with heated water, which prevents scorching and hot spots that direct-heat dispensers often cause. Continuous stirring keeps the mixture smooth and lump-free from the first cup to the last, so your hot chocolate has the same rich consistency whether you are pouring at the start of service or three hours in.
Adjustable Thermostat with 86-212°F Range
The thermostat adjusts from 86°F to 212°F (86°F to 212°F), covering everything from warm milk and gentle-heat specialty drinks at the low end to steaming hot chocolate and mulled wine at the high end. A #304 stainless steel boiler with a thermal protector ensures the heating element does not overheat if the water level drops. Polyurethane insulation around the chamber keeps heat inside and reduces energy waste, which matters during long catering events or all-day buffet service where the unit runs continuously for hours.
Self-Closing Doors with Anti-Clogging Faucet
Self-closing doors on the top of the unit keep heat inside and dust out when staff are not actively ladling or dispensing. The special anti-clogging faucet handles thick beverages like hot chocolate without jamming, which is a common problem with standard dispensers that were designed for thin liquids like coffee. Interior lighting lets you check the fill level at a glance. A lock mount secures the unit in self-service environments, and casters make it easy to roll into position at catering venues or event spaces. At 1,000 watts on a 110V/60Hz/1Ph circuit, it runs on a standard outlet.
