📋 Description

The Silikomart SK 4000 mould is an egg-shaped mould made from food-grade semi-rigid thermoformed plastic, with a single cavity of 220×160 mm (h 80 mm) and capacity for eggs of approximately 350 g. The controlled rigidity of the material ensures stability during tempering, facilitates chocolate release, and preserves surface brilliance — three fundamental requirements for a professional result.

Single cavity: production versatility

The single-cavity configuration allows you to create perfectly symmetrical whole eggs by working the same mould in two successive phases. For high-production periods — Easter foremost — using two SK 4000 units in parallel allows you to alternate between tempering and cooling phases, doubling output without compromising quality.

The semi-rigid material ensures the mould maintains its shape under the weight of molten chocolate, while residual flexibility facilitates release without deforming the finished egg's glossy surface.

Technical tips for tempering

Dark chocolate: working temperature 31–32 °C
Milk chocolate: working temperature 29–30 °C
Gradual cooling to prevent thermal shock and crystallisation defects
Acquire at least 2 SK 4000 moulds to optimise production cycles in the laboratory

Is the SK 4000 mould suitable for dishwashers?

Yes, the Silikomart SK 4000 mould is dishwasher safe, simplifying maintenance even in high-turnover laboratories.

How do you create a whole egg with the SK 4000 mould, which has only one cavity?
