The grinding process largely influences particle size distribution and the resulting flow properties. Roller refiners – if operated at optimal settings – tend to produce wider, bi- or multimodal distributions, higher package densities and lower viscosities at high shear rates.

YS/YB 500 represents the last in the chain of new horizontal ball refiners that are equipped with the latest state of the art technology, which provide new solutions in product processes that are in excess of the traditional capabilities of the ball refiners.

The process is shown in Figure 4. Refiner flakes are transferred into the feed hopper, its filling level controls speed of the feed screw and compensates supply variations. While some cocoa butter is added, the screw feeds the pasting columns. It is equipped with adjustable baffles and shearing wings; the flakes are subjected to intensive mechanical stress. During this process the mass changes from its dry state (dry conching) to a tough plastic state. Cleaned conditioned air is supplied by fan. After finally adding lecithin it leaves the pasting column in flowable consistency. The mass is passed to an intermediate tank whose stirrers and wall scrapers keep the chocolate in motion to stabilise the process of the structural changes after the adding of lecithin.

The Spectra 11 used to refine your Chocolate (and nut butters). It will refine birli little birli 1 lb of chocolate up to about 9 lbs of chocolate. 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.

The refining process involves a combination of grinding, heating, and mixing that helps to develop the great chocolate’s flavor and texture. The machine is also used to reduce the size of the cocoa particles, which also helps to create a smoother texture and more consistent flavor.

Ball Chocolate CONCHING MACHINE refining is one of the chocolate micronization techniques. In order to get efficient results, process should hamiş 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.

Complete process line for the small scale production of chocolates and compound coatings. Mefkûre for product and process development work.

It consists of a double-jacket cylinder with serrated internal surface. Spring-loaded scrapers break the particles during rotation; volatile water and flavours are removed by ventilation and heating.

The performance of the 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.
