The Loynds Mini Hot Table MHT01 is an electrically heated work surface designed to keep candy batches at the optimal working temperature during confectionery production. UK-built and designed specifically for artisan candy makers, it is an essential piece of equipment for any manufacturer working with hand-formed sweets, lettered rock, or intricate candy designs that require extended working time.

- Food-grade non-stick vinyl coating for easy handling and hygiene
- Adjustable temperature via rotary dial — up to 80°C
- Raised edges prevent product falling off the surface during working
- Adjustable screw feet for levelling on uneven surfaces
- Compact footprint suited to artisan and low to medium volume production
- UK-designed and assembled to strict quality standards
- Custom sizes available on request
How It Works
After candy is cooked and initially cooled on a cold table, it is transferred to the hot table for working — adding colours, flavours, and forming into the desired shape. Electric heating elements inside the table provide consistent, controllable heat across the entire surface, keeping the candy batch malleable and workable for longer. This is particularly important for complex products such as lettered rock, layered candy, or any confection that requires time and precision to form. Temperature is controlled via a rotary dial positioned above the tabletop, with three heat settings available.

FAQs
What does a candy hot table do?
It keeps the candy batch at a warm, workable temperature after initial cooling, giving the candy maker more time to add colours and flavours and form the candy into its final shape before it sets.
What is the maximum temperature?
The standard MHT01 heats up to approximately 80°C. Additional heating elements can be fitted if higher temperatures are required for specific processes.
Can I control the temperature precisely?
Yes, a rotary dial simmer-stat provides three heat settings at approximately 40°C, 50°C, and 65°C+, allowing you to match the temperature to your product and process.
Is the surface food safe and non-stick?
Yes, the table surface is coated with a food-grade non-stick vinyl coating, making it easy to work candy on and clean down after use.
