Birli chocolate mass is a non-Newtonian fluid we have to measure its shear stress at different shear rates, which results in a flow curve. Shear stress divided by shear rate results in the apparent viscosity; if we again plot this versus the shear rate we get a viscosity curve. Chocolate mass is a shear thinning fluid, so the highest viscosity is found when the mass starts to flow. Interaction between particles is considered to be responsible for this behaviour3, which is very different to Newtonian fluids such as water.
Scrape down tank and stirrer to remove any bulk buildup of product. Use the quick-access stirrer seal removal to make this simpler.
Not only will good heavy molds make your chocolate look more professional and like "real chocolate" (looks around) they will make the important step of molding and unmolding much easier. You want good heavy molds. Trust us.
Chocolate melting tank we produce is cylindrical type. It is water jacketed with PID controlled heating element. Agitator is speed adjustable and with feature to work continuous or on ON/OFF regime.
Genuine dry conching allows for more efficient evaporation of the moisture and while also benefitting from the high sheer forces from the specially designed conching elements.
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.
Physically measurable properties of chocolate masses, like flow attributes or hardness, are correlated to sensory perceptions such bey snap, hardness, melting and the like. So in terms of texture it is possible to predict quality by measurements and thus to compare alternative technologies. This is much more difficult in terms of flavour. Of course white, milk and dark masses – ideally to be produced on the same equipment – taste different.
Excess chocolate: The machine hayat be used to refine excess chocolate, reducing waste and increasing efficiency.
Optimal taste: The refining process helps to develop the chocolate’s flavor and remove any unwanted flavors or odors.
Batch type mixing and grinding machine for thinning ingredients containing minimum 30% fat. Chocolate refiner for natural oil or palm oil based chocolates, creams or tahini micronization. Depending of the adjusted refining process time final product güç reach 18 microns fineness.
The melter is designed so all surfaces are removable or accessible, and without laminate faces. It saf removable components to improve cleaning so you hayat meet strict allergen requirements. A slide-out melt head and removable stirrer allow access to all areas of the tank and grid during cleaning.
An early approach to include the removal of volatiles Chocolate HORIZONTAL BALL REFINER 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, saf a long experience in building thin film evaporators and horizontal ball mills for cocoa processing and had also offered systems for chocolate mass production.
To wrap up this blog post, we want to finish with a quick comment about our CocoTerra chocolate maker. We are proud of the CocoTerra chocolate making system that we developed because it provides a complete chocolate-making experience in one compact appliance.
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.
