Cases:
All Sephra Chocolate Fountains come shipped with 2 high-impact polymer
carrying cases, complete with straps, handles and wheels, which allow you to
easily transport your chocolate fountain from place to place. An optional
wheeled dolly to make transportation even easier is available to purchase.
These cases protect your fountain from scratches and make it easy to store.
Other fountains come shipped in 2 galvanized metal, or fiberglass boxes.
These do not protect your fountain from scratches and can be difficult to
move around. |

Fountain Auger: The auger is what carries the chocolate to the top of the fountain. This is the most difficult part of the fountain to clean. Sephra offers our customers the finest crafted food grade stainless steel auger with a unique "lift knob" (patent pending). Removing the auger can be very difficult with other fountains as there is nothing to hold on to, not to mention it is hot and slippery. Sephra also has the only stainless steel auger which has a solid one piece blade, not several thin and sometimes sharp metal discs which are cut and then welded together. The stainless core is sealed so that chocolate cannot gather inside the auger.

Fountain Basin: One of the
problems with other chocolate fountain basins is that they are narrow and as
a result, chocolate is dripped all over the fountain and your displays.
Sephra's basins are 3 inches wider, creating a "Drip Zone" which allows you
to keep your fountain and displays clean. |

Motor Belt:
The belt is what drives the auger. A small belt will result
in early wear, and early replacement.
All Sephra Chocolate Fountains use a 3/4" wide tooth belt, which under
normal operating conditions, will give years of service without
replacement..

|
 |
 |
Crown:
Sephra's crowns are solid cast stainless steel and do not have any seams or
welds in which chocolate can gather.
Other fountains have a 3 piece crown that is welded together. The deep
cavities inside the crown are very difficult to clean.

 |
Heating Element:
The heating element heats the basin and keeps the chocolate
at a consistent temperature. Other fountains use a single coil heating
element (similar to the one in your oven) that rests directly underneath the
basin. This type of heating element does not heat the basin evenly, and make
it difficult to keep the chocolate at a consistent temperature. These
heating elemens can also create "Hot Spots" and can scorch the chocolate at
the contact point with the basin.
All Sephra Fountains come with an aluminum encased, 4" wide, dual coil
heating element to ensure even heat distribution from the center of the
basin to the outer edges. Because it is shielded with aluminum you will not
experience burned or scorched chocolate.

Gears:
The gears drive the motor belt which turns the auger. A
larger gear reduces the possibility of the belt coming loose and slipping.

the tiers, allen key for the motor mounts, extra fuse, extra set screws for
