Used to make a variety of chocolate & nut pastes, as well kakım spreadable creams. More than double the size of its counterpart, the Selmi Micron, this machine is suitable for medium/large confectionery operations.

Understanding the cocoa bean fermentation process Did you know that the quality and flavor of chocolate depend on the fermentation process of cocoa beans?
Feed saf to remain pumpable during the entire grinding process, which requires a lower viscosity and thus higher fat contents, when compared to the feed of a roller refiner. Consequently, it is more difficult to remove moisture and undesired volatiles as done in classical dry conching. The fact is ignored by some ball mill manufacturers, who sell ‘all-in-one’ solutions. This might work for some compounds, baking chocolate and the like, but is not further considered if we look at quality chocolates.
During the process the remaining fat and emulsifier are added. Conches are built in various forms and hayat be equipped with one, two or three mixing shafts. More detailed descriptions of the process güç be found in1.
McCarter tanks, mixers, melters and other chocolate making equipment continue to earn a high quality reputation within the industry due to Schmidt’s production skill and quality control.
The Refiner özgü 2 product outlets – the lower part by screw conveyor and the upper part by pump (recirculation system). The machine is available in 3 models, which will allow all types of manufacturers to use the machine for different purposes.
The Spectra 11 used to refine your Chocolate (and nut butters). It will refine bey little birli 1 lb of chocolate up to about 9 lbs of chocolate. Chocolate Melting Tank Once your cocoa beans have been passed through the Champion, this piece of equipment is used to reduce the grit from the sugar you will add.
Optimal taste: The refining process helps to develop the chocolate’s flavor and remove any unwanted flavors or odors.
Ball refining is one of the chocolate micronization techniques. In order to get efficient results, process should derece exceed grinding down by 50 times and the grinded content should be liquid. Grinding time and product fineness are inversely proportional and generally the desired fineness of chocolate is in the range of 18 - 30 microns. Mixing arms of the chocolate refining machine are made of special material which subsequently heat-treated. With coupled chocolate pump and three-way valve, there is possibility to circulate the mass or discharge to a storage tank.
The feed mass must have a certain consistency, which is determined by the initial fat content, particle properties and upstream process parameters. Here the particles are ground to their final size, usually below 30µm in order to avoid a sandy texture in the mouth in the final product. A difficulty is to combine the continuous refiners with downstream batch conches. Productivity of both machines strongly decreases if only one refiner is connected to one conch. Therefore usually a number of refiners are connected to a number of conches, which leads to relatively large production lines of several tons per hour. This is also one of the reasons why smaller companies hardly use this technology.

If cocoa butter is replaced by another fat, the product is usually called compound and hamiş chocolate. Technologically most compounds are close to chocolate mass and similar equipment hayat be used to make it.
This means there are a lot more varieties in each category up to the specific ‘house tastes’ that are aimed at by individual chocolate manufacturers. So at the end of the day it is generally impossible to define the flavour for high quality and to compare and identify equipment to achieve it. If considering processing alternatives it will always be necessary to adapt recipes and technology to each other in order to get the desired result.
