Moulds

Are the chocolate moulds BPA-free?

Our polycarbonate moulds do contain BPA; however they are fully EU-compliant and perfectly suitable for professional chocolate work. Designed for precision and shine, they help you achieve beautifully glossy finishes.

What is the Bundle Discount?

The Chocolate World Bundle Discount lets you benefit from volume discounts when purchasing larger quantities of selected moulds. The discount is applied automatically in your shopping cart when the required quantities are reached.

How does the Bundle Discount work for CW and CF frame moulds?

For non-magnetic CW and CF frame moulds: 1–29 moulds standard price; 30–69 moulds 20% off; 70–149 moulds 30% off; 150+ moulds 40% off. The discount is applied automatically when the required quantity is reached.

How does the Bundle Discount work for magnetic and hollow figure moulds?

For magnetic moulds and hollow figure moulds, a 10% discount is automatically applied when purchasing 10 or more moulds.

Can I combine different mould references to qualify for the Bundle Discount?

Yes. The Bundle Discount is calculated on the total quantity of eligible moulds in your cart, so different eligible references can be combined to reach the threshold.

Does the Bundle Discount apply to custom moulds?

No. Custom moulds and bespoke projects are quoted separately and are not eligible for the standard Bundle Discount programme.

Machinery

Which chocolate brands should be used with Chocolate World machines?

Our machines are compatible with any professional tempering-grade couverture. Dark, milk and white chocolate can all be processed successfully, provided they are suitable for tempering.

What is the lead time for a new machine?

Lead times depend on the machine and configuration. In-stock machines can typically be delivered within one to two weeks; custom-built or specifically configured machines generally have a lead time of six to eight weeks. For an accurate estimate, contact us at info@chocolateworld.be.

What warranty is provided?

Most Chocolate World machines are covered by a 2-year warranty. Warranty conditions may vary for certain machines or components — our team is happy to give detailed information for a specific machine.

Can I request a custom machine configuration?

In many cases, yes. We are happy to work with you to find the best solution for your production needs. Contact us at info@chocolateworld.be to discuss your requirements and explore the options.

Can I see a machine running before making a purchase?

Of course. Depending on the machine and your location, demonstrations may be arranged at our facilities, through one of our partners, or online. Contact us at info@chocolateworld.be and we'll discuss the possibilities.
