Equipment on a pilot plant scale for is used for testing and experimenting with the process and product development of chocolates and compound coatings.

We prefer a good solid infrared thermometer but in the end what matters is it's calibrated right and gives you a reliable reading. If that's a wire probe, or infrared the most important thing is accuracy and relability both in roasting and tempering.
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.
Vulcanotec is knows for its designes which allow the manufacturers to clean amd maintain the machines for a longer period of time.
g. refiners1. It is also known, that operation is relatively noisy. An advantage is that batch sizes between 45kg and 5t are possible, which means a lot of flexibility for smaller companies.

Our pre-refining calibrates your sugar in one pass CHOCOLATE PREPARATION MIXER to provide perfect and consistently high plasticity, ready for efficient five-roll refining. Our bitiş refining then grinds and aromatizes the sugar to meet your desired fineness with a precisely defined particle size distribution.
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 bitiş size, usually below 30µm in order to avoid a sandy texture in the mouth in the bitiş 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.
In conching, machines with unique designs are used to agitate, knead, and aerate chocolate mass. These machines typically have large surfaces that emanet be heated or cooled during the process.
Consistency: The refining process helps to create a consistent flavor and texture throughout the chocolate.
Very often an emulsifier is used to improve flow of hygroscopic particles within the continuous fat phase. During production several incidents occur:
