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.
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.
Feed başmaklık 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 kakım 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 derece further considered if we look at quality chocolates.
Excess chocolate: The machine birey be used to refine excess chocolate, reducing waste and increasing efficiency.
Use the table below to estimate possible melt rates of chips or buttons and blocks – from small (10lbs) to one titrem. The Chocolate DOUBLE TUBE BALL REFINER examples below are based on melting chips/buttons with typical coating characteristics.
Melt your chocolate drops, chocolate chips or cuvertures in water jacketed reservoirs completely made of AISI304 grade stainless steel. Melter is with side wall and bottom scrapers.
The Spectra 11 used to refine your Chocolate (and nut butters). It will refine as little as 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.

Used to make a variety of chocolate & nut pastes, kakım well as spreadable creams. The Selmi Micron is also used for bean to pas chocolate making.
The largest difference is rather an economical one, kakım very expensive cocoa butter is replaced by relatively inexpensive alternative fats.
Melanging is a shorter process than conching. The time required for refiningvaries, depending on the desired fineness and consistency of the chocolate. It güç range from a few hours to overnight.
If cocoa butter is replaced by another fat, the product is usually called compound and derece chocolate. Technologically most compounds are close to chocolate mass and similar equipment emanet be used to make it.
This machine is responsible for grinding cocoa beans into chocolate liquor, which forms the basis of all
