We're all familiar with the magic that happens when chocolate meets spice. It's a perfect blend of sweetness, saltiness, and warmth that tantalizes the taste buds. But have you ever experienced the delightful harmony of chai chocolate? Join us as we get into the world...
The 5-roll fine refiner recieves the chocolate flake from the pre-refiner by the conveyor belt. The chocolate flake is then refined down to 20 metric micron, typically, though finer particle size is also possible.
When shopping for a chocolate melanger, the most important factors to consider are your preferences, budget and specific needs. There are several reputable brands and models available in the market that are highly regarded by chocolatiers and chocolate enthusiasts.
Ball mill grinding process Ball mill grinding is a critical process in the chocolate production industry. It involves crushing
Ball refining is one of the chocolate micronization techniques. In order to get efficient results, process should not 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.
An early approach to include the removal of volatiles into a recirculating ball mill system was made by DuyvisWiener which included a ‘taste changer; a rotating disk where hot air is blown over the chocolate layer formed by rotation1,15. These devices are still sold for small scale applications. F.B.Lehmann, now part of DuyvisWiener, özgü a long experience in building thin film evaporators and horizontal ball mills for cocoa processing and had also offered systems for chocolate mass production.
In case melting tank is going to be used also as storage tank, preventing of thermal fluctuations inside the chocolate melting tank which may occur because of bypassing tempered chocolate back to melting tank is required.
The performance of the Chocolate POWDERED SUGAR MILL paste mixer is critical to the performance of the refining line. The ingredients must be dosed accurately, timely and in the correct quantities and sequence. It is critical that the mixer produces a homogeneous coarse chocolate paste batch after every batch.
