Chocolate refining five-roll refiner
Achieve optimal chocolate texture with high-efficiency refining, reducing energy usage by 30% and enhancing production throughput. Perfect for crafting smooth truffles, pralines, and uniform chocolate coatings with precision particle size control from 12 to 76 microns.
Refines and Optimizes Chocolate Production
The Five-Roll Refiners HFR Series from Hamburg Dresdner Maschinenfabriken offers precision refining for chocolate manufacturers seeking to perfect their product’s texture and quality. What sets this equipment apart is its ability to significantly reduce energy consumption by up to 30% per ton, thanks to optimized motor control. The HFR Series operates with automatic roller gap settings and a robust back-pressure system, ensuring consistent particle sizes ranging from 12 to 76 microns. Ideal for producing chocolate bars, truffles, and coatings, it boasts a throughput of up to 1,550 kg/h.
Integrating seamlessly into continuous and high-speed production environments, the Five-Roll Refiners provide real-time performance metrics via the integrated Stripe Detection Cockpit (SDC). Constructed with a hygienic design, including stainless steel components, these machines are engineered for minimal maintenance and easy cleaning. The optional Fineness Measuring Unit enhances monitoring precision, guaranteeing uniformity across batches. Custom configurations, combined with engineering support, enable these refiners to fit various production requirements, positioning them as an essential tool for any chocolate manufacturer focused on efficiency and product excellence.
