Chocolate processing unit for mixing and grinding
Producing high-quality chocolate, creams, bread spreads, and fat-based compounds requires precise control over mixing, grinding, and conching processes. Issues like ineffective grinding and long processing times often pose significant challenges in achieving the desired fine texture and consistency, particularly when using crystal sugar as an ingredient.
Combines mixing, fine grinding, and conching
The CHOCOCON 250 from Caotech is a versatile processing unit designed to address the specific requirements of chocolate and compound production. Combining a horizontal 500L mixer/conch with a vertical low-speed ball mill CAO C250, this system is optimized for mixing, fine grinding, and conching chocolate, creams, bread spreads, and fat-based compounds. With a batch capacity of 500 kg, the unit achieves an end fineness of 22-25 microns within approximately 2 hours when using crystal sugar. The grinding time is further reduced when powdered sugar is used. Enhanced with a redesigned mixer opening for easier ingredient loading, the CHOCOCON 250 offers high flexibility and minimal floor space requirements, without the need for a foundation. The unit’s low energy consumption, limited heat development, and low maintenance costs contribute to its popularity in its segment.
