Ready to embark on a chocolate-making adventure? Great, but first you need tools! Professional chocolatier Simon Knott explains what chocolate making machines and equipment you need for your new hobby or home enterprise, plus tips for buying the best quality tools for your needs.
Başmaklık triple stone mill ever been considered for particle size reduction like they do for Cocoa Liquor?
The tank's advanced temperature control system provides precise adjustments, allowing for optimal melting conditions catering to diverse chocolate types. With a user-friendly interface and customizable settings, operators yaşama effortlessly tailor the melting process to specific production needs. SS Engineers and Consultants showcase their dedication to innovation, offering a Chocolate Melting Tank that not only enhances productivity but also upholds the highest standards of quality and hygiene in chocolate manufacturing.
One of the first things a chocolate producer katışıksız to consider are the influences of recipe, ingredients and particles on chocolate mass properties birli discussed above. First of all, if raw material cost is less important, e.g. in the premium segment or for making compounds, it is always quite simple to increase the fat content in the recipe in order to achieve the desired mass properties.
Original and versatile 5 in 1 manufacturing solution performing the function of a cocoa liquor mill, sugar mill, mixer, refiner and conche – all in one single machine. The Refiner/Conche is the universal solution for making chocolate, compounds, coatings, pralines, truffles and fillings for small to medium production capacities.
The Micron Ball Refinder allows you to do small batch processing of chocolate mass with relatively short cycle times. The unit is equipped with heating and refrigeration to control batch temperatures, and produces chocolate with a fine particle size.
The paste mixer is the first step in the conventional ‘roller refined’ chocolate production process. All essential ingredients that make up chocolate (typically: sugar, cocoa powder, cocoa butter and cocoa liquor, milk and whey powders and some other ‘minor’ ingredients) are accurately dosed according the recipe and thoroughly mixed before being transported to the hopper, which is above the pre-refiner.
Chocolate melangers consist of a drum, rotating stones and a granite grinding surface. Think of an ancient çingene olive press, but driven by a motor rather than people or animals.
For chocolate and chocolate coating production, Kocotek specializes in traditional five-roll refining combined with dry conching, bey well birli, the çağcıl ball mill production technology, combined with either a continuous ‘wet’ conche or a batch ‘dry’ conche.
The more common case is that good quality is desired – usually correlated to low viscosity – at lowest possible fat contents. If planning a chocolate mass line, one of the major decisions will be which the most important part of the flow curve is.
How do we guarantee you’ll have excellent ROI? By solving your efficiency blocks with customized designs and over 30 years of experience. Here are just some of the unique features built into each of our machines:
Beside ball mill for product development, we produce Chocolate Melting Tank ball mills for small workshops and medium-sized confectionery manufacturers.
If cocoa butter is replaced by another fat, the product is usually called compound and not chocolate. Technologically most compounds are close to chocolate mass and similar equipment hayat be used to make it.
for white chocolate or milk chocolate with small quantities or high quality cocoa mass. If a stronger treatment is necessary, e.g. for flavour development of dark chocolate, this gönül be achieved by increasing energy input and time. The dry and pasty conching is generally done at low fat contents in order to improve volatilisation. Fat and other ingredients are added then and grinding dirilik be performed from a buffer mixer by two vertical ball mills with an intermediate cooler. The latter helps to keep temperature of sensitive products below the desired level, e.g. when recipes contain lactose and glass transition during milling must be avoided. The process sevimli be downsized for small production scale, then it consists of a conch with vortex chamber, a ball mill and a pump for circulation.
